1958-10-06 SP Meeting October 6, 1958 Present; H. Russell Harris Supervisor Meredith Bentley Justice' of- the Peace Harold Akins Justice of the Peace Curtis Lam_pson Councilman Stanley-B. Miller _ Councilman The Board copvened at 7:30 P.M. John 0. Webster, tax collector, also present. - Mr. Webster gave the members of the Board. a copy of the following letter: To: All Members of the Board Town of Queensbury It is my understanding that it is recommended that all Totem Officers make and file an annual report of the activities of their respective offices. rdith t'his in mind , I re!7 ect_fully submit hersi<.Tith my report as Collector, Tot,m of Queensbury, for the period January 1, 1958 to June 1, 1958: TOTAL ArViOUNT OF THE TAX s,'ARRANT X661,569.3" Resident Taxes paid to Collector $4830645,29 Franchise 'Taxes paid directly to County Treas. 710575.26 Regulating Dist. Tax directly to County Treas. 491,475.96 State Lands returned to County Treas. unpaid 21.16 Resident Taxes returned unpaid to County Treas . 56,251,71 Total . . ... . . . . . $6610569.37 Of the item of $483,;645.29 which represents total Tax payments received. by my office , $193,;877.70 was turned over to the Town Supervisor, and the bal,nce of ,$289,767.59 was turned over to the Warren County Treas- urer,, iV accordance with my warrant. In addition to these tax receipts, Penalty receipts for the period totalled $1;415.77, and this amount was turned over to the Town Supervisor in accordance with the law. The taxes returned unpaid to the Warren County Treasurer inithe amount of $56,851.71 represented 765 unpaid items (out of the total of approx- imately, 5,500) . For comparison purposse , in- 1957 the respective figures were $46+,497.00 unpaid , with 885 items, and in 1956 it was $46,861.00 with 931 items. I feel that the results obtained from the mailing out of the May lst tax reminders fully justified the additional work and expense involved , and 1 recommend that the Board authorize that this be continued again this year. In addition` to thes=e statistical figures , I make the follow ng comments and recommendations :. Based on my experience of this first year in office , I have filed a budget estimate with the Town Clerk, in accordance with_ the law, and I attach a copy herewith. Some, of the items in this budget estimate may. properly belong in some other category of the Town Budget, such as printing, insurance , advertising, etc. , however, I am listing all known expenditures concerning my office for your information. I respectfully request the Town Board to consider the purchase of some office equipment for the office of the Tax Collector. At the present �r time, there is no office equipment whatever. By using my own typewriter, letter file and desk, and by borrowing a toem adding machine from the Chairman of the Board of Assessors , I have made out, and can continue to coo so if necessary this coming ytear. I believe, however, that it woul=d be advisable to have a fire resistive letter file , or safe, wherein the ,records and at least some of the supplies of the .Collector' would be t _ , it ' kept. If a ,fire occurred at the Colector's residence or office at any time during the 5 month period of collection chaos could result. It would be virtually impossible to determine who had paid or who had not paid their taxes. A 4 drawer fire resistive file would cost approxi- mately 71.70.00. I Piave put that amount in my budget estimate for office supplies. Perhaps I should point out that in addition to the need for a fire resis- tive place for the safe.--keeping of records , the file - is needed for correspondence as well. So far this year I have received and answered over 450 written letters -and inquiries 'concerning taxes. These are- in addition to the over 700 individual tax problems or changes in the assessment roll that have been received by my office and which have been turned over to the town assessors or the Warren County Bureau of Local Assessment for proper disposition. Many of these inquiries- con- cerned problems or changes that have been in need of attention for several years , according to the persons reporting the requests.. I have endeavored to handle this correspondence and these requests for re -- vision of the tax roll in an orderly manner and in the interest of the taxpayers concerned_. I think that it would also be in their interest that these records be. properly filed in a safe place. Although `this first year in office has had its share of problems it has also been interesting and rewarding, and I want to take this opportunity to thank the other officers and officials - of the Town for their part in mak�.ng it so. Respectfully submitted, ` . . . . . . . . . . . . fs/ John O.
