SUBJECT: REPORT ON NEW SECURED PROPERTY TAX BILLS
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Accept Treasurer-Tax Collector' s report on new secured property
tax bills.
BACKGROUND:
On November 21, 1990 a citizen of Contra Costa County complained
to Nancy Fanden' s Office about our new secured property tax
bills. On November 30', Nancy Fanden' s office requested that the
Treasurer-Tax Collector provide a report in January on this
matter. Some of the concerns are:
♦ Inadequate instructions on what portion to remit with payment.
♦ Print too small to read, especially the backing.
♦ Tear out perforation on payment stubs not clear.
♦ Instructions on accompanying pamphlet not clear and print too
small.
These concerns were reviewed and we are in agreement with some of
the concerns addressed. Therefore, next year, I will try to
design a more attractive, easier to understand bill with adequate
instructions.
In the design of the bill, you should know, however, that the
total weight of the package must be kept in line so as not to
exceed our postal rate limit. Therefore, the size of documents
must be observed. Also, certain printed information is required
by law on the bill and/or information flyer.
