On January 19, 2022 we were told by Carri Paige that she had contracted COVID and would not be in until she was well again, Due to this circumstance, I started to process payments on installment contracts. Installment contracts are entered into with taxpayers that have fallen behind on their eal property taxes and ‘want to make an effort to become current. In order to enter into ¢ contract agreement, they need ‘to make an initial payment of 25% of the back property taxes to show good faith. Many ‘ime these transactions are in the form of cash.

Once we get the final payment, we pay off the real property taxes in our tax program and make a final entry to clear the payments being held. 10 rt 2 13 1a 16 uv 18 19 20 2a 22 23 24 28 Once I started to process some payments made by tax payers, I received a payoff request from Tax Enforcement office for the contract agreement with David Sanford, contract #19-6295. 1 ‘was unable to locate the contract for Mr. Sanford, ‘When down payments or regular payments are made and the clerks are busy, they leave the record in a bin until Carri or I have time to update the spreadsheet, Once the spreadsheet is updated, iti filed with the rest of the contracts in numerical order. As it appeared that the spreadsheet with records of payments had not been updated, [tried to bring it up to date, I noted that ithad been quite a while since this process had been completed I found many contracts in a bin that we usually reserve for paid off contracts and other Ue correspondence from the employees of Tax Enforcement, such as notices of NSF checks or apher| letters indicating some action from Tax Enforcement. When I update the spreadsheet, [try to [- determine ‘the amount in the general ledger is relatively close to the excel spreadsheet, In Gey todo that, all contract down payments and subsequent payments must be entered into the
