AN ACT TO PROVIDE THAT THE MOUNT AIRY TAX COLLECTOR SHALL BE APPOINTED BY THE CITY MANAGER OF MOUNT AIRY.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  G.S. 105-349(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a)	Appointment and Term. – The city manager of each municipality shall appoint a tax collector on or before July 1, 1971, to serve for a term to be determined by the city manager and until the tax collector's successor has been appointed and qualified. Until the first such appointments are made, county and municipal taxes shall be collected by the tax collectors presently serving under prior provisions of law. The city manager may remove the tax collector from office during his term for good cause after giving him notice in  writing and an opportunity to appear and be heard at a public session of the governing body. No hearing shall be required, however, if the tax collector is removed for failing to meet the prerequisites prescribed by G.S. 105-352(b) for delivery of the tax receipts. Unless otherwise provided by G.S. 105-373, whenever any vacancy occurs in this office, the city manager shall appoint a qualified person to serve as tax collector for the period of the unexpired term."
Sec. 2.  This act applies to the City of Mount Airy only.
Sec. 3.  This act is effective upon ratification.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 22nd day of June, 1989.
