PURPOSE: To approve the appointments of Linda Strickland-Jaubert, Valerie Curry, and
Bobbie Underwood as Deputy Tax Collectors for a one year term, effective July 1, 2006 through
June 30, 2007.
BACKGROUND: Linda Strickland-Jaubert, Valerie Curry, and Bobbie Underwood have been
performing the duties of Deputy Tax Collector with the exception of signature authority of the
actual executions. An appointment of these positions would provide the Deputy Tax Collectors
with signature authority that will allow continued consistency, uninterrupted operations of the
Revenue Office in the duties of tax collections, and no lag in obtaining the collector's signature.
Chapter 105-349(f) of the North Carolina General Statutes requires the Board of County
Commissioners to appoint deputy 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
collector with precise guidelines that exist.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board appoint Linda Strickland-
.laubert, Valerie Curry, and Bobbie Underwood as Orange County Deputy Tax Collectors for a
period of one year, effective July 1, 2006.
