TREASURER C. WILLIAM ORNDOFF. JR. ADDRESSED BOARD RE:
UPDATE ON DELINOUENT TAXES
Treasurer C. William Orndoff appeared before the board to
present the Annual Report on Delinquent Taxes. This report
lists persons delinquent in real estate taxes, personal proper-
ty, sanitary district fees, and street light fees as of June 30,
1995.
The treasurer asked that if it is the desire of the board
to publish in a local newspaper the delinquent real estate tax
listing as of June 30, 1994, and as done in previous years, the
board would need to take action to approve same.
In addition, the treasurer reported that the most recent
code changes by the General Assembly allows local governments to
abate tax bills of less than $5.00 and bills on which the
balance due is less than $5.00. Frederick County's combined
total of these two items is $353.46 for 123 accounts. The
majority of this amount reflects incorrect amounts written on
checks for payment of taxes. The treasurer asked that if it is
the board's desire to abate these tax bills, the board would
need to take action to approve same.
Chairman Dick acknowledged receipt of the above information
and asked that these two action items be placed on the agenda
for the next board meeting in October.

the extension being classified under a new designation. Mr.
Watkins explained that the ordinance allows the ability to waive

existing road in an existing development.
