Title
Auditor-Controller's Office recommending the Board approve and authorize the Chair to sign Resolution 081-2026 that will authorize the Auditor-Controller to reissue stale-dated checks:
1) In any amount, if presented within two years from the date on which the original check became void; and

DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Government Code Section 29802 provides that the Board of Supervisors may by resolution authorize the Auditor-Controller to reissue stale-dated checks. The Auditor-Controller has been reissuing stale-dated checks for at least the last 32 years but was unable to find a copy of the prior authorizing resolution, even after consulting the Clerk of the Board's Office. The attached resolution will affirm the Auditor-Controller’s authority to reissue stale dated checks.
