REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF ONE (1) CASH BOND AND FIVE (5) SURETY
BONDS: Planning Supervisor Allison explained the releases and recommended approval. (More
complete description in the regular minutes.)
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE JULY 1999 REFUNDS & RELEASES: Tax
Assessor Weisner said the refunds and releases were in order for approval.
Chairman Haire mentioned that she had received complaints about tax invoices being
mailed out that were for small amounts of money. Weisner said no invoices were supposed to be
mailed if the amount owed was under one dollar ($1.00). He added that the statutes allowed
counties to set the amount up to five dollars; however, a past decision by the Iredell County Board
of Commissioners established the one dollar guideline.
Update on 1999 Tax Bills: Weisner said 75,246 tax invoices would be mailed during the
last week of August. The county's total amount due is $32,817,019.92 and for all jurisdictions it is
$48,417,481.01. Weisner said this mailing would be the first notice for taxpayers on personal
property. Thereafter, all appeals of personal property are to be made in writing to the Assessor
within 30 days of the date billed. Approximately 4,200 bills are being held back for different
reasons.
FIRE TAX DISTRICT BOARD TO MEET WITH COMMISSIONERS AFTER
JANUARY OF 2000: Commissioner Stewart advised that Don Parker, a member of the fire tax
district board, was recently scheduled to appear before the commissioners. Mr. Parker did not attend
the meeting, and Stewart said the reason was because the fire tax board desired to wait until after
a planning retreat in January before an appearance was scheduled.
ADJOURNMENT: Chairman Haire moved to adjourn the briefing session at 6:00 p.m.
VOTING: Ayes - 4; Nays - 0.
Approved:
Clerk to the Board
