(Added by Ord. 299-60, App. 6/2/60)
Upon recommendation of the Bureau of Delinquent Revenue Collection, delinquent accounts may be assigned for purposes of collection by the Board of Supervisors by resolution pursuant to the provisions of Sections 26220, 26221 and 26222 of Government Code of the State of California. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Supervisors hereby authorizes the Bureau of Delinquent Revenue Director, with the approval of the Tax Collector and Treasurer, to assign any account receivable that was transferred to it pursuant to this Article, to a duly licensed collection agency for collection when the Director determines that the fair market value of the account (regardless of its face value) is less than or equal to Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000). The Bureau of Delinquent Revenue Director is authorized to make any and all contracts on behalf of the City and County of San Francisco that are necessary to carry out the terms of this Section.
(Added by Ord. 299-60, App. 6/2/60; amended by Ord. 24-88, App. 1/28/88; Ord. 165-88, App. 4/26/88; Ord. 297-00, File No. 001803, App. 12/22/2000; Ord. 106-10, File No. 100246, App. 5/21/2010)
With the approval of the Tax Collector and Treasurer, the Director of the Bureau of Delinquent Revenue is authorized to contract with persons or entities having information regarding funds to which the City is entitled for the purpose of recovering such funds. The Director of the Bureau of Delinquent Revenue may enter into such contracts only if: (1) said Director, after exercising due diligence, determines that there is not other practical means for recovering such funds and (2) the payment of any fee or costs to the contractor is made contingent upon the City recovering such funds and shall be payable to said contractor only out of funds actually recovered pursuant to the contract.
(Added by Ord. 165-90, App. 5/10/90)
The Director of the Adult Probation Department is designated as the County Officer of San Francisco responsible for collection of monies ordered by the courts pursuant to Section 1203.1c of the California Penal Code, and shall make inquiry into the ability of the defendant to pay all or a portion of the costs of incarceration, develop a scale for determining a defendant's ability to pay such costs, develop payment schedules, receive payments, and deposit into the general fund through the County Treasurer any funds determined by a court to be the amounts to be reimbursed by such defendant to the County in a manner in which the court believes reasonable and compatible with the defendant's financial ability.
The Director of the Adult Probation Department shall base the costs of incarceration, including costs of booking, upon a determination made by the Sheriff and approved by the Controller, to be reviewed annually by the Board of Supervisors, of the average per-day costs of incarceration in the County Jail or other local detention facility. The Board of Supervisors may adopt such further legislation as is necessary to effectuate the purpose of this ordinance, but not to repeal the collection of monies pursuant to Section 1203.1c of the California Penal Code.
