BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: May 7, 2013
Action Agenda
Item No. 5-d
SUBJECT: Re-appointment of Four (4) Deputy Tax Collectors
DEPARTMENT: Tax Administration PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No
ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT:
Dwane Brinson, Tax Administrator,
(919) 245-2726
PURPOSE: To re-appoint Valerie Curry, Bernice Gwynn, Linda Jaubert, and Bobbie
Underwood as Deputy Tax Collectors for two-year terms effective July 1, 2013.
BACKGROUND: Chapter 105-349(f) of the North Carolina General Statutes allows the Board
of County Commissioners to appoint deputy tax collectors "for a term to be determined by the
governing board". The statute reads "a deputy tax collector shall have the authority to perform,
under the direction of the tax collector, any act that the tax collector may perform unless the
governing body appointing the deputy specifically limits the scope of the deputy's authority".
Therefore, the deputy tax collectors' work will continue to be performed under the direction of
the tax administrator with the precise guidelines that exist. Orange County Deputy Tax
Collectors have traditionally been appointed to two-year terms.
The continued success of the Revenue Division is evident in the outstanding collection rates
that have been attained for several years. For fiscal year 2012 Orange County ranked eighth
out of 100 counties in overall collections percentage.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board re-appoint Valerie Curry,
Bernice Gwynn, Linda Jaubert, and Bobbie Underwood as Orange County Deputy Tax
Collectors for two-year terms effective July 1, 2013.
