Dwane Brinson, Director <br /> Memorandum <br /> To: Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> Cc: Bonnie Hammersley, County Manager <br /> Travis Myren, Deputy County Manager <br /> John Roberts, County Attorney <br /> From: Dwane Brinson, Tax Administrator <br /> Date: March 7, 2017 <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. At its March 19, 2013 regular meeting, the <br /> BOCC reappointed me to a four-year term ending June 30, 2017. This memorandum is an effort <br /> to seek reappointment to a four-year term. <br /> Since my start date of August 6, 2012, we have worked tirelessly to improve our operations in <br /> the tax office and better our services for the public. Our performance and customer service also <br /> have led to many new projects in collaboration with other municipalities and county <br /> departments. Examples include: <br /> • Transfer of GIS staff and county addressing to the tax office in 2013; <br /> • Billing and collecting of new special assessment fees for the Town of Hillsborough; <br /> • Billing and collecting of new stormwater fees for the Town of Hillsborough; <br /> • Collaboration with Orange County Finance for the billing and collecting of payments due <br /> from loan program participants; <br /> • Recently began billing and collecting property taxes for the City of Mebane <br /> Since fiscal year ending 2013, we have been able to consistently improve overall collection of <br /> property taxes, and the trend continues this fiscal year as the latest reports shows we are tracking <br /> .04% ahead of last year. This was made possible, in part, due to internal improvements and staff <br />
