Dear Commissioners:
In 1974 Mr. & Mrs. Ronald L. Tuten of Lake George made an application for Homestead Exemption and was granted the same effective 1975. My office failed to input the code on Mr. Tuten' s tax records for. 1975 and your office reimbursed Mr. Tuten his overpayment for that year.
Mr. Tuten' s taxes are paid by his mortgage company and he never sees his tax bill therefore he was under the impression that he has been getting the exempt- ion since 1975.
It appears that my office still has Mr_. Tuten' s exemption wrong and he did not receive the exemption for 1976, 1977, and 1978; therefore, I respectfully re- quest that you reimburse Mr. Tuten $ 162. 20 which is the amount of the overpayment. 1976 - $ 56. 00 ; 1977 - $ 59. 20; 1978 - $ 47. 00 )
We have taken steps to insure that Mr. & Mrs. Tuten' s records are properly coded for the correct exemption.
Sincerely,
Walter A. Anderson Chief_ Appraiser

Honorable Glenn Bryant, Chairman Liberty County Commissioners Hinesville, Georgia
Dear Mr. Bryant:
I am pleased to have this meeting between the city and county officials of Liberty County and representatives of the Jesup District Office.
The attachments included with this letter will give you a fairly good picture of the past and present road work in your county. It includes a summary of past construction, present construction and present preconstruction activities. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have concerning this information.
I have prepared maps which show all active construction and all completed and active surveys. I would like to leave these maps with you for your future reference.
I appreciate this opportunity to meet with you and review your road problems. I am looking forward to working with each of you in the future.
Yours very truly,

The library is presenting two budget proposals for the
1978- 1979 fiscal year. The proposals are exactly the same with
the exception of one area. The library would like to request that the person in charge of the Liberty County Library be raised to the position of library associate from the current position of library assistant and that this person be placed on full time
employment. The rapid increase in the population of Liberty County and of the Hinesville area in particular requires a full
time person to be in charge of the library. The library associate position would bring that person to, the same level as heads of
large branches in Chatham and Effingham counties. We are also
requesting that the person in charge of the library be given 1 health insurance; this benefit is currently held by Chatham county
employees. The budget request listed in the middle column pro-
poses the same requests with the exception that the head of the library would remain in their current grade of library assistant
and be given a two step merit increase. We would also like to request additional work hours for the
other library assistant and the library page. By raising the li-
brary assistant to 20 hours per week, we would be able to place
that person on a pension plan. The additional 3z hours requested
for the library page would provide the library staff with extra help _
to meet the rising demand for in -library service.
The final request is an increase in the materials and process-
S00. 00. This increase of $ 50. 00 is ing requests from $ 450. 00 to $
to cover higher costs brought on by inflation and price increases. BUDGET FOR LIBERTY COUNTY April 28, 1978

Gentlemen:
In response to your request for a proposal for the examination of the financial statements of the various funds of Liberty County, Georgia and the Liberty County Recreation Department for each of the two fiscal years ending June 30, 1978 and 1979, we submit the follo,!4n= estimate of our fees:
JFrom To
For the Year Ended June 30, 1978 $ 5, 500 $ 6, 300
For the Year Ended June 30, 1979 5, 500 62300
1 000- $ 12, 60Q
Plus travel and any direct costs. I The above proposal anticipates only services required to audit the basic financial statements of the County, if services other than auditing are required ( such as compiling data in order to prepare financial statements) or if the scope of our engagement is extended beyond, that which is necessary to express an opinion on the basic financial statements we will submit a separate invoice. Toe believe that all non - auditing work, ho, wer, can be completed by County personnel.
Our examination will not include a compliance audit of the Community Developent Block Grant Fund or Revenue Sharing Trust Fund.
Our examination of the above financial state^ ents will be made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and accordingly, will include such tests cf the accounting, records and such other auditing- procedures as we consider necessary in the circu, Jstances. I
I
I L r ty C- n1n%}' { F. or- ia pYil 28, 1978 lace 2
If in the course of our e}: amination we discover factors which would prevent us from issuing an unqual`i•fied opinion on these financial statements we will discuss the altecnativC s with you and atte.lript to arrive at a resolution acceptable to both of us.
SPECIFIC L 11• iITATIONS
If as in prior years the financial statements do not include a General F1z. ed Asset Group of Accounts, we will be required to qualify our opinion.
An examination directed to the expression of an opinion on the financial statements is not primarily or specifically designed, and cannot be relied upon, to disclose defalcations or other similar irregularities should any exist, although their discovery may result.
We hope this proposal will meet with your satisfaction and look forward to a continuing pleasant relationship with you. Please indicate your agreer: nt with the arrangements discussed herein by signing and returning the enclosed copy of this letter.

Dear Mr. Rogers: 4
This will set forth our proposal of the arrangements for our exami- nation of the financial statements of Liberty County for the two year period ended June 30, 1978 and June 30, 1979.
We will examine the County' s general fund, Clerk of the State and Superior Courts fund, tax commissioner' s office and recreation department for the purpose of expressing an opinion on them. Our examination will be in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and will include such auditing procedures as we consider necessary to accomplish this pur- pose.
These procedures will include tests ( by statistical sampling, if feasible) of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts, tests of the physical existence of assets, and direct con- firmation of receivables and certain other assets and liabilities by cor- respondence with selected residents, customers, legal counsel and banks.
We are not considering a detail examination of all transactions nor do we expect that we would necessarily discover fraud, should any exist. We will, however, inform you of any findings that appear unusual or abnor- mal. r
Whenever possible, we will utilize your personnel to reduce our own time requirement.
Our fee for these examinations will not exceed $ 17; 300. 00 and is based on the volume of transactions indicated in your financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1. 977. If there is a large increase in volume or other change in your accounting system, we reserve the right to discuss the matter with you as to additional fees. The audit fees for each year respectively will be $ 8, 500. 00 and $ 8, 800. 00 or a total for the two year period of $ 17, 300. 00. Mr. Harold R. Rogers, COO Page 2 April 4, 1978
Further, we will be available during the year to consult with the Board on the effects of any proposed transactions or contemplated changes in County policies.
We are pleased to have this opportunity of submitting a proposal. If this letter correctly expresses your understanding, please sign the enclosed copy where indicated and return . it to us.
Sincerely,
Michael R. Halligan
