She <br />summarized the progress made on the Utilities Accounts Receivable Bad Debt <br />Settlement Process, noting 48 of the 159 outstanding water and sewer accounts, <br />5 of the 14 outstanding Impact Fee loans, and 54 of the 159 outstanding <br />assessments were settled.

She indicated if the property owner failed to make payments under <br />the agreement, the Utilities department was authorized to seek final settlements <br />and foreclosure through the County Attorney; however, the process would <br />include trying to reach a settlement in lieu of foreclosure. <br />Utility Finance Manager Corrente, in response to Vice Chairman O'Bryan's <br />question, stated that she was not aware of any of the new outstanding debts <br />being COVID-19 related. <br />A motion was made by Vice Chairman O'Bryan, seconded by Commissioner <br />Earman, to approve staff's recommendation.
