people have sent checks into the Tax Collector accord.i_ngly, <br />and since the amount sent does not correspond with the total <br />amount shown due, the Tax Collector cannot accept these <br />checks without Board approval to do so. <br />We are presenting this matter to the Board for direction. <br />This problem should not occur again in the future, since we <br />.are now recording all new assessment liens. <br />Chairman Scurlock believed, since we now have a procedure in <br />place where we record these liens, that there is some merit in <br />going ahead and getting that principal amount and waiving the <br />interest, with it being duly noted that we are not setting a <br />precedent; that the new procedure is in effect; and that this <br />will be self-limiting since it will not continue to occur in the <br />future. <br />Commissioner Bowman asked if Public Works doesn't have to <br />report these to the Tax Collector and was informed they do. <br />Chairman Scurlock noted that we go ahead and record every- <br />thing now, but under the old policy it was not necessary to <br />record. It was the recommendation of the County Attorney's <br />office that all of these should be recorded. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if, to be consistent, we shouldn't <br />either charge interest or not charge interest across the board to <br />everyone. <br />Chairman Scurlock stated that his feeling was that we should <br />just waive the interest on these sixty simply because we didn't <br />record them and there was some communication problem. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, to adopt the policy of accepting <br />these payments without interest to clean up these <br />particular items. <br />.A lady from the audience (Mrs. Rose) presented her bill, <br />explaining that she had already paid interest, and she wished to <br />know if she would get that interest back. <br />18 <br />BOOK .73 pnx 42 <br />
