Attachment 2 <br />ORANGE COUNTY TAX ADMINISTRATION <br />228 S CHURTON STREET, SUITE 200, PO BOX 8181 <br />HILLSBOROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27278 <br />Telephone (919) 245 -2725 Fax (919) 644 -3332 <br />T. Dwane Brinson, Director <br />Memorandum <br />To: Orange County Board of Commissioners <br />Cc: Frank Clifton, County Manager <br />John Roberts, County Attorney <br />From: Dwane Brinson, Tax Administrator <br />Date: March 5, 2013 <br />Re: Reappointment to a New Term <br />At its June 19, 2012 regular meeting, the Orange County Board of Commissioners (BOCC) <br />formally appointed me as Tax Administrator. The action called for me to replace the former Tax <br />Administrator, Mr. Jenkins Crayton, and fulfill the remainder of his unexpired term. Mr. <br />Crayton's term was set to expire June 30, 2013. This memorandum is an effort to seek <br />reappointment to a four -year term. <br />Since my start date of August 6, 2012, we have completed many necessary actions and continue <br />to move forward with other improvements. We have bonded as a staff, and have created events <br />never before offered including an outside - the -office holiday party where 95% of the staff <br />attended, monthly potluck lunches and cross - training workshops offered by each division. This <br />has helped transition the office from what was formerly the Tax Assessor and Tax Collector into <br />a cohesive Tax Office. <br />The resolution passed by the BOCC outlined the terms of employment. One specifically called <br />for me to establish residency in Orange County prior to reappointment of a new term. This was <br />never an issue as my family and I relished the opportunity to move to this area. In November, <br />2012 my wife and I purchased a house in Hillsborough. It is our home, and we plan to raise our <br />7- month -old daughter in this wonderful county. <br />In closing, I respectfully ask the BOCC for a new four -year term as Orange County Tax <br />Administrator. I feel that we are doing many great things here in the tax office, and we have <br />many improvement ideas in the workings, too. I look forward to a long, positive relationship <br />with the residents, county staff and BOCC of Orange County. <br />11 <br />
