ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />WORK SESSION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: October 12, 2010 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. <br />SUBJECT: Process for Recruitment and Selection of the Tax Administrator <br />DEPARTMENT: County Manager PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Frank W Clifton, County Manager, 245-2306 <br />Jo Roberson, Tax Administrator, 245-2727 <br />Michael McGinnis, Human Resources <br />Director, 245-2552 <br />Clarence Grier, Financial Services Director, <br />245-2453 <br />PURPOSE: To provide information and receive the Board's direction on the process for the <br />recruitment and selection of the Tax Administrator. <br />BACKGROUND: On December 31, 2009, former Tax Assessor John Smith retired after serving <br />Orange County for 24 years. -With this vacancy, the Board of County Commissioners charged <br />the County Manager with reviewing the functions of tax assessment and collections and <br />increasing efficiencies in these areas without adding costs.
