Committee approves $8,000 transfer to tax-title account to cover uncollectible takings
Summary
The tax collector asked for $8,000 to be moved into his tax-title account to address two years of uncollectible tax takings; the committee discussed budgeting effects and approved the transfer unanimously.
The tax collector (referred to in the record as Paul) requested $8,000 from the health insurance contingency to transfer into his tax-title account to address two years of uncollectible tax takings. Staff explained that what was appropriated and what remains in the budget is not enough to cover the two years, so the transfer was requested.
Committee members discussed that this approach could affect next year’s budgeting if recurring, and the tax collector said that if only one year needed to be covered it would be manageable; because two years are involved he sought the larger amount. A motion to transfer $8,000 was made and the committee approved it by unanimous oral vote.
The meeting record did not include additional details on which parcels or accounts generated the uncollectible amounts or whether the collector expects to recover any of the sums through sales or collections.
