Proposed Changes to County Tax Notice Format <br />The Board considered a proposal to improve the tax notice form and provide the County with a <br />low-cost method of communication with the citizens. <br />Tax Collector Ginger Rolfe presented the present tax notice and described it in detail. She then <br />explained in detail the proposed format. By using this new tax format, the processing costs will increase by <br />$10,532. Although this is an increase over our present cost, she feels that time will be saved in several <br />aspects. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis commended Ginger Rolfe for developing this new format. He feels the <br />information provided by this notice will be well received. <br />Chair Margaret Brown asked about paying for animal fees using this same form and staff will look <br />into that possibility. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve <br />the new County Tax Notice Format as presented. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />C.
