"~'pT tq, October 23, 1984 To the Mayor and Members of the City Council Subject: REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS TO COLLECT DELINQUENT TAXES
'e7)
The Department of Law is presently responsible for the collection of de-
linquent tax accounts. However, there have recently been several resig-
nations and a retirement from the tax collection section of that depart-
ment. This has resulted in the loss of experienced personnel whom it
will be difficult to replace. Therefore, the City Attorney has recom-
mended that a Request for Proposals (RFP) to collect delinquent taxes be
issued by the City. This would enable the City to impose the additional
penalty of fifteen percent which is authorized by State law to defray
collection costs when an outside attorney is hired. It will also permit
the Department of Law to delete certain vacant positions._
Outlined below is a tentative schedule for the review and selection pro-
cess. It is proposed that a Council committee be named to hear the oral
presentations and make a final recommendation to the Council for its
consideration.
