�1 . <br /> LEGAL DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM <br /> No. 2003-8 <br /> May 29, 2003 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Osborne and City Council Members <br /> FROM: Steve n, City Manager <br /> John . ter, Corporation Counsel �f� <br /> RE: Collection Agency for Past Due Fines and Fees <br /> As Council is aware, Macon County is making every effort to collect all revenue that <br /> is due in order to reduce any operating deficits that it may have. Accordingly, it has <br /> decided to retain a collection agency to attempt to recover past due fines and fees (from <br /> traffic and criminal cases). Since some of this money will go to the City if collected, as per <br /> law, the County has requested the City to pay a pro rata share of the fee due the collection <br /> agency on the money collected. The City will pay nothing if no fines and fees are collected. <br /> Staff recommends that the City enter this agreement with the County, since the City will also <br /> benefit from the collection agency's efforts. <br /> Questions regarding the proposed agreement should be directed to John Couter <br /> (424-2807). <br /> JWC:ps <br /> cc: Wendy L.
