Item No. 10 <br />�emorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: John Godwin, City Manager <br />SUBJECT: DELINQUENT TAX ATTORNEY CONTRACT EXTENSION <br />DATE: March 2, 2015 <br />BACKGROUND: In 2013 we replaced our previous delinquent tax attorneys with The Pounders <br />Law Firm. Tracy Pounders has been much more aggressive and active with our accounts, has <br />introduced new innovative techniques, and will not simply forgive personal property taxes as the <br />previous vendor commonly did. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: The existing agreement with Pounders will expire soon, so we have agreed <br />to a contract extension in order to continue this mutually beneficial business relationship. <br />BUDGET: Contract costs are paid from collected delinquent taxes, penalties, and interest. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve attached resolution and first contract amendment. <br />
