ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES A. Defendant Contact. MSB will mail notices, telephone or otherwise contact Defendants with outstanding cases with the County in order to attempt to notify Defendants of their obligation with the County. The purpose of the contact is to offer Defendants the opportunity to resolve their obligation voluntarily, before further action is contemplated by the County. The County will provide the name and last known address of the Defendants, all information regarding the date (s} of the alleged violation(s), the date judgment was entered against the Defendants in the court having jurisdiction over the matter or the date the citation was filed, and the amount of any such fine(s). When appropriate, MSB will attempt to locate Defendants when the last known address is invalid. B. Correct Information. MSB will rely completely on the County to provide correct information about the Defendants' existing cases and, specifically, about any dollar amount in question, and the County will immediately update and correct any information it has provided to MSB. In particular, the County will immediately notify MSB of any payment or other satisfaction of judgment made directly to the County or any other action affecting the amount or timing of monies owed by the Defendants to the County. C. Accounts Returned. The County will allow MSB a minimum of 180 days to contact a Defendant about their case. This time period will begin with the first day of the following month in which the account was referred to MSB. Upon request by the County, MSB will cease contacting a Defendant whose case remains outstanding at that time. D. L to the County. MSB will refer Defendants who ~ r obligation with the County other than by payment ~ ~~ rtment or person designated by the County to respoi request. II. COMMISSIONS ON FINES COLLECTED. A. Basic Commission Rate. For all cases referred by the County to MSB for collection or resolution for which the County is paid (in whole or in part), regardless of whether payment is accepted directly by the County or by MSB on the County's behalf, the County will pay to MSB, in Travis County, Texas, a 35 percent commission rate on the amount collected. MSB is not due a fee of any kind if the case is resolved by a law enforcement agency. B. Notification of Collections. MSB will notify the County daily of any monies it receives from Defendants towards payments of fines. The County, through the Court, may then accept or reject the payment offered by the Defendant. By the fifteenth of each month, MSB will provide detailed reporting to the County to identify all cases known to be resolved during the prior month and to remit monies collected on the County's behalf. The County authorizes MSB to endorse negotiable instruments made payable to the County and provided to MSB in payment of the fines collected and to deduct commissions due on those fines paid directly to M:~B from the amounts collected by MSB.
