RRID accounts (4200-6-7001-2005; 4200-6-7001-4110). Jennifer Mortazavi, County Clerk stated that this RRID is setup up for additional taxes to be applied and collected by the county into their own fund with the county. The Board directed the RRID to follow the same procedures as the Fire Department, along with all Receiving Officers must be bonded per statutes. I have tried with four different companies to have a surety bond written, however no company will write one, unless the County initiates and pays for it. So, the only solution is that District #1 assume this duty, as they will be working closely with the RRID and they will have a process in place.
