THE FOLLOWING LETTER RECEIVED FROM GENE MORRIS <br />TAX COLLECTOR IS BEING MADE A PART OF THESE MINUTES, <br />3 <br />GENE E. MORRIS <br />TAX COLLECTOR <br />TELEPHONEt (8015) 582.2803 <br />P. 0. Box 1509 <br />VERO BEACH, FLORIDA - 32960 <br />January 4, 1974 <br />Miss Alma Lee Loy, Chairman <br />Board of County Commission <br />Indian River County Courthouse <br />Vero Beach, Florida <br />Dear Miss Loy: <br />I am sure that you are well aware of the fact that the 1973 Tax Roll <br />has not been completed at this time, however, you probably do not know <br />that this presents a problem for me in the operation of my office. I <br />would like to take this opportunity to explain. <br />The Tax Collector's Office is a fee office and must be operated on fees <br />derived from the various services performed, and the Tax Collector's <br />Office is on a calendar year and must report and distribute all excess <br />fees as of December 31st each year on or before January 15th of the next <br />year. <br />Now, the above situation in normal years is fine because we have generally <br />earned fees from tax collections in November and December, and by billing <br />the various taxing districts on December 31st, we r6ceive the necessary funds <br />to continue the operation of the office in a smooth manner. This year we <br />have not collected any taxes to date, therefore, no fees have been earned. <br />In order to continue the operation of the Tax Collector's Office, it will <br />be necessary for me to either borrow the necessary funds or get an advance <br />on commissions that will be earned when tax collections begin. <br />I would like to request an advance in fees or commissions that will be due <br />on the 1973 Tax Roll"in the amount of $50,000.00. This advance will be <br />deducted from the statement to you for commissions after taxes have been <br />collected. <br />Thanking you for your consideration in this matter, I remain <br />X <br />rris <br />County Tax Collector <br />GEM/bm <br />TAXES <br />Real Estate <br />Tangible Peronal Property <br />Intangible Personal Proporty <br />JAN 9 19,74 <br />MOTOR VEHICLE MISCELLANEOUS <br />Tags - Duplicate Tat�aa Boat Registration <br />Titles - Duplicate Titles Beat Titles <br />Sales Tax /Urcraft Reglstratton <br />—34— <br />Book <br />LICENSES <br />Occupational License <br />Dog Ll -go u nae <br />19 Phu 49 <br />
