Background and Purpose of Request:
Per County Charter Chapter 3: Subsection 3.8.1.1, the County Treasurer is a County Commissioner appointed position.
Since the elimination of the elected Treasure position back in 2014, staff member Alex Kimball has served as the County Treasurer, while he was Finance Director and as recent as Assistant County Manager.
With Alex’s departure at the end of July of this year, the County Commissioners need to appoint a new Treasurer. Staff has discussed the appointment with the County’s Auditors making sure there have been no recent changes to the guidelines for segregation of duties. All is above board and Theresa as the Finance Director can hold the Treasurer’s title also.
Upon the appointment, staff will begin changing the applicable locations a Treasurer is titled.
Effective Date if Applicable: July 1, 2025
