TAX COLLECTOR'S REPORT, MONTH OF MAY 1986: Mr. Joe Ketchie, Tax Collector, presented the
collector's report for the month of May 1986. Mr. Ketchie said it was going to "push them" to
collect 97% of the tax levy. Vice Chairman Mills asked Mr. Ketchie for comments on the three or
four per cent of taxes that were not collected each year. Mr. Ketchie presented a print-out of
bankruptcies in the county. This print-out listed in excess of $136,000 of personal and business
bankruptcies in Iredell County. Mr. Ketchie said these cannot be touched; his office is at the
mercy of the Federal Bankruptcy Court for county taxes involved in these bankruptcies. Mr. Ketchie
further stated that the only thing the law allows him to do is to submit a claim to the Federal
Court and hope that sometime in the future we may get a portion of the county taxes involved in
these properties.
Commissioner Crosswhite said someone had approached her about the county's status in uncollec-
ted taxes. She said she advised this person that the board had looked into the possibility of
hiring someone to pursue foreclosures on delinquent taxes. She inquired what the status is on this
matter at the present time.
Mr. Ketchie said funds for a person to do this work is included in the proposed 1986-87 budget,
and he is waiting approval of the budget so that this could be pursued.
Vice Chairman Mills made comments about the improvement in collections rate during his tenure
on the board, which is almost eight years. He said the collection rate has improved about 3% during
the time he has served on the board.
Mr. Ketchie updated the board on the condition of the delinquent tax collector, Mr. Johnston,
who has had surgery. Mr. Johnston is to return to the hospital on June 23, at which time he hopes
the doctors will release him. If the doctors do release him on June 23rd, he will return to work on
June 24th, Mr. Ketchie said.
By consensus, the board accepted the May 1986 Collections Report.
