Commissioners appoint Chuck Reed deputy treasurer
Summary
The Cheshire County Board of Commissioners unanimously appointed Chuck Reed as deputy treasurer after a nomination from Treasurer Wozemack; the post carries authority only if the treasurer is incapacitated or unavailable.
The Cheshire County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to appoint Chuck Reed as deputy treasurer after Treasurer Wozemack presented the nomination at the meeting.
Wozemack described the role during the discussion, saying, "Deputy treasurer receives no money and really has no functions unless the treasurer is incapacitated or unavailable, and it obviously allows the checks and so forth to normal finance operation to continue." The nomination recalled that Chuck Reed had previously served as treasurer and is familiar with the office's responsibilities.
Commissioners voted 3-0 in favor of the appointment. Commissioners present and recorded as voting yes were Commissioner Clark, Commissioner Stewart and Commissioner DeBernardo. The board discussed having Chuck Reed sworn in; no additional policy changes were made to the treasurer's office during the session.
The deputy treasurer position, as described at the meeting, is a contingency role that becomes operative only if the county treasurer cannot perform duties; no compensation or ongoing operational authority was described for the appointee.
Action items recorded at the meeting indicate county staff will arrange any required oath or administrative steps to place Reed into the deputy treasurer role.
