2017-2018 school year is November 17, 2017; and

WHEREAS, all school tax payments not received by the end of the business

amounts of unpaid school taxes for the 2017-2018 school year be paid by the Ulster

County Commissioner of Finance to those officers charged by law with the custody

of school district monies, and together with seven percent of the combined amount of

principal plus accrued interest, be re-levied via the 2018 General Tax upon the real

property upon which the school taxes were originally imposed, so long as the

accounts of unpaid school taxes for the 2017-2018 school year have been filed with

the Clerk of the Ulster County Legislature prior to the re-levying of the unpaid taxes;

and, be it further

RESOLVED, that when such re-levy (the unpaid tax, accrued interest, plus

seven percent on the sum of both) is collected, the same shall be returned to the

Ulster County Commissioner of Finance to reimburse the County for the amount

advanced and for the expense of collection,

and move its adoption.
