On Tuesday evening, the Board of Education was asked to adopt a resolution relieving the tax collector of the responsibility for the uncollected portion of the tax lists now that the tax warrant period has ended, and authorize her to turn the lists of delinquent tax items with three percent penalty over to the offices of the County Treasurers.

The Tax Collector’s Summary Report: 

Board members are required to sign all unpaid tax reports in acknowledgment.

MOVED by Trustee Kheiralla,  second by Trustee Robertson, that the Board of Education acknowledged receipt and acceptance of the 2018 Tax Collector’s Summary Report and approve the following resolution for adoption:

RESOLVED, whereas the Education Law provides that the tax collector shall be relieved of responsibility for the uncollected portion of the tax list when a complete list of delinquent tax items have been certified to the Board of Education, and, since the collector has affixed her affidavit to such statement and has filed a statement accounting for the handling of the warrant; and,

WHEREAS, the clerk acknowledges receipt of the signed report of the tax collector to be submitted to the board;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Education accept the Report of the Tax Collector and having determined that the collector has accounted for the full amount of the tax warrant, directs that the lists of delinquent tax items with the three percent penalty, be certified to the offices of the County Treasurers and/or other tax enforcement officers.
