Commissioners directed staff to move forward with the policy to reduce incertainty and time spent negotiating a settlement by providing a level of standardization and predictability to the commissions Enforcement Program. At the september 2019 meeting, staff delivered a process outline with eight steps and appear today to deliver step four by detailing the progress staff made on steps one through three. Commission staff reviewed the practices of other jurisdictions including the fair political practices commission, l. A.

In addition to a thresholds applicable to each specific violation type. As step two, staff hosted two interested persons meetings. After the november election an
But understood. Right. So and this is probably where the discretion is opposed to so much of our criteria. If you have a judgment, so you dont have a statute, you are not on a short statute of limitations, as you just said, it can sit fairly dormant and every once in a while somebody picks it up and runs it through the system to see if that person has made their presence known or an asset made available. Right. So its not like somebody is spending 15 minutes every week trying to find this person for seven years, right . No, no, no. It will be typically we look for judgment cases, specific for small volumes, well have like nine active account. Once a month theyll touch it. And it depends if they are able to identify any leads to an asset. But the judgments we are good for ten years, and we renew them up to the full 30 years. So actually on that note for Chris Jackson whose referral date was six and a half years ago, i did spend not 15 minutes but ten minutes to make sure that thats actu

Agreement, the obligation deadline date and we provide for their convenience the methods of how they can pay us, online, for example. Question 8, if a payment plan is a contract with the city, are there Code Provisions that affect how the bureau and debtor interact . For example if they miss a payment have they breeched the contract . Does renegotiating a payment plan mean renegotiating a contract requiring certain formalities . I wouldnt want to call it a contract, per se, with the city. This is definitely a document that we would use as part of an enforcement proceeding if we took it to court to show the debtor acknowledged they have an obligation to repay the debt. It doesnt change how we interact with them. In our line of work, its kind of expected that you are going to have a sloppy payer. So we are get them on a payment plan agreement. If they happen to miss five days and pay on day ten, we will work with people who are oing with us on good who are working with us on good faith.
