4. LINKcat Vote: Purge of Charges Under $100 That Are More Than 10 Years Old
The Circulation Services Subcommittee has submitted a proposal to purge charges on Koha accounts that are under $100 and more than 10 years old.  Waiving the charges under $100 would be an opportunity to clear a large number of accounts with “Old Debt” that will likely never be recovered.   An added benefit would be that accounts that are expired would be deleted during the annual SCLS purge of inactive patrons and before the migration to Bibliovation.

6. Reasons for change The setup is different in Bibliovation
There is wide variation in rules resulting in 13,776 rules in our current system
Libraries have an opportunity to review their setup and make adjustments
Moving closer to standardization makes things easier for library staff and patrons

Consolidate Fine Rates To Most Common: NO FINE, 5 CENTS, 10 CENTS, 25 CENTS, 50 CENTS, $1.00

9. Next Steps
