For Fiscal Year 2019-20, the unclaimed stale dated warrants, which can be transferred to the General Fund, account for 2,680 items and amount to $1,069,434.46 as reflected in EXHIBIT A. Background As recommended by the District’s External Auditor, the District must maintain an accurate and up-to-date listing of stale dated warrants readily available for the rightful owner to file a claim. The District’s staff checked the California Laws and State Controller’s guidance on unclaimed property and developed the Stale Warrants Policy and Procedures (EXHIBIT B). Such policy and procedures were approved by the General Counsel Office on May 20th, 2020. The District must follow steps outlined in the District’s approved Stale Warrant Policy and Procedures, which include serving the public notice in the local newspaper and obtaining Board’s approval prior transferring the unclaimed funds to the General Fund for general purposes. Discussion Local agencies are required to hold unclaimed stale dated warrants up to three (3) years from the issuance date, post required notices in the local newspaper and on the website, and reissue warrants when valid claims are filed. The District can transfer unclaimed warrants past three (3) years from the issuance date after following the proper steps outlined in the District’s defined Procedures. The District publishes the listing of stale warrants on the website in a searchable format. The listing is updated monthly to remove claimed warrants and add new stale warrants. The District is required to publish the notice in the local newspaper once a week for two successive weeks and allows the claims to be filed between 45- 60 days from the first notice. The District published the notice in the Oakland Tribune on June 19, 2020 and June 26, 2020, and the parties of interest have until August 3, 2020 (45 days from the first notice publication date) to file a claim with the District. The proof of the newspaper notices is attached in (EXHIBIT C).
