r <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: September 3, 2002 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. -� <br /> SUBJECT: Collection of Solid Waste Fees, Fines, and Penalties <br /> DEPARTMENT: Solid Waste Management/ PUBLIC HEARING: (YIN) No <br /> County Attorney <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Resolution Gayle Wilson, 968-2885 <br /> Goof Gledhill, 732-2196 <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br /> Hillsborough 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill 968.4501 <br /> Durham 688-7331 <br /> Mebane 336-227-2031 <br /> PURPOSE: To approve a resolution authorizing the Solid Waste Management Department to <br /> perform collection activities necessary to collect solid waste fees, fines, penalties and to <br /> perform other necessary enforcement activities as provided in Orange County laws and <br /> ordinances. <br /> BACKGROUND: The Solid Waste Management Department assesses and collects various <br /> fees, surcharges, penalties, fines, etc. in the normal conduct of County solid waste activities. <br /> The collection of these revenues is typically conducted without difficulty. Those payments that <br /> do become past due are usually dealt with by phone calls, reminder letters, suspension of <br /> landfill privileges, negotiation of payment plans, etc. Infrequently, some customers fail to fulfill <br /> their financial obligations despite these additional inducements. The recent adoption of the <br /> Regulated Recyclable Materials Ordinance and related permit, license and penalty fees will <br /> likely lead to more frequent need for collection action, at least in the near term. <br /> Staff and the Attorney recommend that the Board grant authorization to Department staff to <br /> pursue collection of these seriously overdue accounts and non-responsive debtors, as a last <br /> resort, through necessary collection activities consistent with Orange County laws and <br /> ordinances. Generally speaking, the statutory remedies available to the Orange County Tax <br /> Collector to pursue seriously delinquent property tax accounts are not available or appropriate <br /> for collection of delinquent landfill accounts. Accordingly, any collection action the Department <br /> might need to pursue would likely be through Small Claims Court handled by departmental staff <br /> or other civil action pursued by the County Attorney. <br /> The Attorney has prepared a resolution which, if approved, would provide the requested <br /> authorization to Solid Waste Management Department staff. <br />
