1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: May 7, 2013 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 5-d <br /> SUBJECT: Re-appointment of Four (4) Deputy Tax Collectors <br /> DEPARTMENT: Tax Administration PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Dwane Brinson, Tax Administrator, <br /> (919) 245-2726 <br /> PURPOSE: To re-appoint Valerie Curry, Bernice Gwynn, Linda Jaubert, and Bobbie <br /> Underwood as Deputy Tax Collectors for two-year terms effective July 1, 2013. <br /> BACKGROUND: Chapter 105-349(f) of the North Carolina General Statutes allows the Board <br /> of County Commissioners to appoint deputy tax collectors "for a term to be determined by the <br /> governing board". The statute reads "a deputy tax collector shall have the authority to perform, <br /> under the direction of the tax collector, any act that the tax collector may perform unless the <br /> governing body appointing the deputy specifically limits the scope of the deputy's authority". <br /> Therefore, the deputy tax collectors' work will continue to be performed under the direction of <br /> the tax administrator with the precise guidelines that exist. Orange County Deputy Tax <br /> Collectors have traditionally been appointed to two-year terms. <br /> The continued success of the Revenue Division is evident in the outstanding collection rates <br /> that have been attained for several years. For fiscal year 2012 Orange County ranked eighth <br /> out of 100 counties in overall collections percentage. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board re-appoint Valerie Curry, <br /> Bernice Gwynn, Linda Jaubert, and Bobbie Underwood as Orange County Deputy Tax <br /> Collectors for two-year terms effective July 1, 2013. <br />
