Title

RESOLUTION - APPROVING PIGGYBACKING THE CITY OF PEMBROKE PINES CONTRACT WITH PENN CREDIT FOR DEBT COLLECTION SERVICES; PROVIDING FOR EFFECTIVE DATE. 

 

Body

 

 

BACKGROUND:                     The City currently utilizes Penn Credit for delinquent non-residential EMS transport fees. This Agreement provides for collection services for any of the City’s delinquent accounts rather than just for non-residential EMS transport fees. At this time, there is no particular plan to utilize collection services on other accounts; however, this Agreement does provide that option if the City chooses to use it for other delinquent accounts such as permit fees, commercial fire inspection fees, citations, etc.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION:                     Approve                     

 

 

FISCAL IMPACT:                     Collection fee is not to exceed 16% of the balance owed for regular collections.
