  • The tax collector shall be nominated by the mayor and appointed by the city council for a term of four years. The mayor shall notify such tax collector at least one month prior to the expiration of the tax collector's term in writing that such person will or will not be renominated. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the full-time tax collector in office on the effective date of this section shall continue in office until the expiration of such person's term. The tax collector shall perform the duties and have all the powers prescribed by the general statutes, the charter of the city of Bristol and its ordinances. The tax collector shall collect all taxes duly laid by the city. Any and all municipal assessments shall be construed to be a special tax, and, as such, shall be collected by the tax collector according to terms laid down by the city council in the same manner as other municipal taxes. The tax collector shall make reports and present the statements as may be prescribed by the board of finance or the city council and shall give bond in an amount to be determined by the board of finance. The board of finance may require all persons employed by the tax collector who handle the funds of the city and taxing districts, to give bonds in like manner in such amount as it may determine. The tax collector shall make such rules and regulations for the collections of the tax collector's office as are not contrary to the statutes and as shall be approved by the board of finance. The tax collector shall not be required to file with the treasurer the lists specified in the general statutes. The tax collector shall keep a cash book or other record satisfactory to the state tax commissioner, which shall contain all the information required by said sections to appear upon said lists and which shall be open to public inspection at all reasonable times.
