The County Attorney was instructed to see if a lease or other agreement would not be satisfactory. Mr. Nathan Crissman, the Tax Collector, appeared before the Board and presented a list of parties and accounts for which he thought relief and refunds should be granted. Most of the reliefs were uncollectible because the statute of limitations had run and further collection efforts would be futile. Commissioner Jack D. Funderburke moved that the Tax Collector be relieved from having to attempt to collect from or account for the taxes listed on his report dated September 30, 1982, a copy of which is attached to these minutes and by this reference made a part hereof and further, that he be authorized to refund taxes to FHA as set forth therein.
