The Montgomery County commission has approved hiring five seasonal employees to assist in the gathering of tax statements.

 

County treasurer Nancy Clubine says the primary responsibility of the new employees will be to calculate the tax information for the citizens of Montgomery County in order to send out statements by the target date of November 19th, more than a month before taxes are due on December 20th.

 

Clubine says these employees will be a valuable resource at this time of year, with citizens always wanting to know how much they owe.

 

The commission also discussed an updated look of the contract agreement between the County and Webb and Roderick Funeral Home, and an invocation from Reverand Melvin Simpson.

 

The county commision meetings take place every Monday at 9am in the lower level of the Judicial Center in downtown Independence. All meetings are open to the public, and streamed live on Facebook and Zoom.
