this purpose. $1200 is already in the budget.)
DISCUSSION OF UNCOLLECTABLE SOLID WASTE ACCOUNTS: Ron
Weatherman advised he had about 227 accounts totaling $2626.07 that
he had been trying to collect. The accounts date back to 1994 and
it is becoming more expensive in trying to collect (phone
calls/letters) the charges, e.g. $6 and $12, than what they are
worth.
Commissioner Boone asked Mr. Pope about the County not being
able to collect from the Statesville Housing Authority (SHA). Mr.
Pope advised that several years ago he researched the matter and
found that a federal law exempts this agency. Weatherman stated he
had a N.C. Statute (G.S 157-26) that stated the authority was
exempt from paying any taxes or fees to the state or subdivision
thereof.
Commissioner Boone said he was disturbed by this matter,
especially since the authority paid for water and electrical
services. Boone made note of the fact that churches are not exempt
from the landfill charge.
Weatherman said his department was continuing to carry the
amount owed by SHA in the amount of $2354.70, but that he was not
making any attempts to collect it.
Commissioner Madison asked Weatherman if the residents were
charged the $18 household fee. Weatherman and Blumenstein said the
residents were not charged.
Mr. Pope said he would review the Statesville Housing
Authority exemption and report back to the Board.
MOTION by Commissioner Johnson to write off the accounts as
were presented, as uncollectable.
