Mr. Kelley told the Board that Mr. Ronald Hagler had received tax bills for two <br />automobiles that were due on April 1, 2003. Mr. Hagler responded by letter asking that <br />the values be reduced and for the Tax Office to send him new vehicle tax notices. Mr. <br />Hagler was sent an email on April 28, 2003, asking that he bring the vehicles to the <br />Government Center so they could be looked at to determine any adjustments that might <br />be made. In August, Mr. Hagler came to the Tax Office asking that the adjustment be <br />made on the two automobiles at which time he was told the appeal time had expired. Mr. <br />Kelley told Mr. Hagler that he had been notified by email that he needed to bring the <br />automobiles in before an adjustment could be made but Mr. Hagler said he never <br />received an email and became very angry. Mr. Kelley recommended Mr. Hagler's <br />request for an adjustment be denied. Mr. Kelley stated that his office is no longer using <br />email to respond to requests. After some discussion, Commissioner Adams moved for <br />Mr. Hagler to be sent a letter stating he has ten (10) days in which to bring the vehicles in <br />for an adjustment, and to deny his request if he does not bring the automobiles in. Upon a <br />vote, the results were as follows: <br />Aye: Adams, Hincks, Lemmond, Matthews, Paschal, Reives, and Stevens <br />Nay: None <br />The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. <br />• Mr. Kelley outlined the third and final matter from his department that concerned <br />a request from David Allen to release 1996 motor vehicle taxes in the amount of $144.78. <br />Mr. Kelley told the Board that Mr. Allen had only owned the vehicle in question for five <br />(5) days and never obtained a permanent tag for the vehicle, and the automobile was <br />returned to the dealership. A garnishment had been issued from Mr. Allen's employer in <br />the amount of $227.53 that included a $10.00 garnishment fee and $72.75 in interest. <br />After some discussion, Commissioner Adams moved to accept Mr. Kelley's <br />recommendation to forgive the tax bill for Mr. David Allen. Upon a vote, the results <br />were as follows: <br />Aye: Adams, Hincks, Lenunond, Matthews, Paschal, Reives, and Stevens <br />Nay: None <br />The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. <br />The Board considered four (4) matters relating to the Health Department. Health <br />Director Mike Hanes informed the Board that a Lee County horse had been diagnosed <br />with Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), a virus that is transmitted by mosquito bites. <br />Mr. Hanes stated that the horse had been euthaniTed on or about August 11, and that his <br />office had been contacted with the diagnosis by the State Health Department. He further <br />stated that EEE is not a communicable disease. <br />Mr. Hanes asked that the Board allow him to fill a vacant Public Health Nurse III <br />position, a Processing Assistant III position, and a Community Social Services Tech <br />S <br />
