When they age to a certain level by best practices under the <br /> accounting rules, we will write them off the books, however, they are not written off <br /> completely because they are recorded on the individual accounts in our SmartGov and/or <br /> RecPro Systems in the Building Department and in CCS. In the future if someone comes <br /> back and wants to participate in City services they still must settle their original debt, but <br /> these are write-offs for purposes of audit so that we don't retain these on the books <br /> indefinitely. This is the first time we have done this because the new process was put in <br /> place a couple of years ago, and so you will see this coming back to you on an annual basis. <br /> Public Speakers: None <br /> Commissioner Goldman moved and Commissioner Levin seconded a motion to approve <br /> the resolution.

We also made a small amendment to the schedule of percentage of <br /> payout upon termination or retirement on accumulative sick leave,we broke up one level into <br /> two (2) and split it. Typically every five (5) years, there was a slight change, we made a <br /> change between the 16th and the 19th years we had a similar percentage of 50%between ten <br /> and 19 we broke that up to 16 and 19 at 65% versus 50% of the maximum accumulation. <br /> 10 <br />
