JUL <br />6 <br />1983 <br />.53 uu 89.Z - <br />' -time <br />time no word was <br />received from Mrs. Griffin. On <br />September <br />30, 1981 the money was turned over to the Board of County <br />Commissioners General Fund. The two-year period has elapsed <br />and Mrs. Griffin has now made a claim for a refund. He <br />advised the Board that it is up to their discretion as to <br />whether or not they want to refund the money. He explained <br />that if a claim is made before the two-year period elapses, <br />he generally does not bring it before the Board, but goes <br />ahead and refunds the money. However, since this claim is <br />over the two-year period, the only way it can be refunded is <br />for the Board to authorize payment. Chairman Bird asked if <br />this would be setting a precedent and Attorney Brandenburg <br />agreed that it was a discretionary matter in that each case <br />is considered separately. <br />Commissioner Bowman explained that Mrs. Griffin -had <br />been ill in Jacksonville and had just recently learned that <br />her property had been sold for back taxes, and asked how the <br />tax notices were sent out. <br />Director Barton explained in detail the procedures <br />followed in notifying individuals that their property is <br />being sold for back taxes, including legal ads and certified <br />letters to the last known legal address. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the <br />Board authorize a Tax Deed Proceeds Refund <br />for Tax Certificate #1076 to Eva Mae Griffin <br />in the amount of $3,961.07, less any expenses <br />incurred through the process. <br />In discussion, Director Barton explained that this is <br />only the second time this has happened in the five years he <br />has been with the County, and added that all expenses have <br />been deducted up to date. <br />13 <br />� � s <br />
