ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: June 2, 2015 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. 6 -c <br />SUBJECT: Appointment of Four (4) Deputy Tax Collectors <br />1 <br />DEPARTMENT: Tax Administration PUBLIC HEARING: (Y /N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Dwane Brinson, Tax Administrator, <br />(919) 245 -2726 <br />PURPOSE: To reappoint Valerie Curry, Bernice Gwynn, Linda Jaubert, and Bobbie Underwood <br />as Deputy Tax Collectors for two -year terms effective July 1, 2015. <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. The individuals proposed for <br />reappointment have all served multiple terms as Deputy Tax Collectors. <br />The continued success of the Revenue Division is evident in the outstanding collection rates <br />that have been attained for several years. Orange County ranked 11th out of North Carolina's <br />100 counties in overall collections percentage for the 2014 fiscal year. <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, 2015. <br />
