Unclaimed checks and taxpayer outreach
Summary
The council refused to sweep about $8,200 in unclaimed checks into the general fund, with Alarcón and Bettencourt calling out specific payees — including the Sheriff's Department — the city deals with daily. The item was tabled so the list goes on the city website and staff do direct outreach.
