Board Raises Delinquent Collections Fee in Davidson County
Davidson County Commissioners voted to raise the fee for wage garnishments used to collect delinquent ambulance bills. Bob Moser said the charge covers paperwork and acts as an incentive to pay, while Commissioner Cliff Erickson framed it as revenue for a deficit operation. The board also debated funding for Pamela Clodfelter’s Volunteers to the Court program as CETA funds expire, and approved a county data processing system with a Burroughs Corp. lease contract at 1678 per month.
