44. RESOLUTION TO DELEGATE AUTHORITY TO COLLECT AND COMPROMISE CLAIMS Pursuant to A.R.S. 11-251 (1) and (4) adopt a Resolution to delegate authority to collect and compromise claims of the Planning and Development Department. The department administers a civil hearing process that often results in the issuance of orders for payment of penalties. Currently, the amount of unpaid fees and penalties has become excessive and it is in the best interest of Maricopa County to develop new processes and procedures to expedite collection of these monies. Adoption of the this Resolution would empower the Director with certain duties, powers and authority to expedite the collection of claims under $100,000.00, which is applicable for unpaid fees for permits, other services, and penalties for violation of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.
