AUTHORIZATION FOR THE TAX ASSESSOR -COLLECTOR TO FILE SUITS REGARDING DELINQUENT

A discussion was held between Tax Assessor -Collector James 0. DeShazer and the
City Council regarding delinquent tax accounts.

years old, however, the City would not incur the expense of these suits, as
this is passed directly on to the taxpayers.
