Summary
The council appointed Dallin Hackett, CPA, as part-time town treasurer at $75 per hour (estimated five hours per week), swore him in immediately and authorized access to the Public Treasurer's Investment Fund (PTIF).
The Hideout Town Council on May 8 appointed Dallin Hackett, CPA, as town treasurer and authorized him to access the town’s Public Treasurer’s Investment Fund (PTIF). The council approved an hourly arrangement of $75 per hour, with an expected part-time workload of about five hours per week; council and staff said the position is project-focused and will reduce reliance on outside advisers.
Jan (administration) introduced Hackett, and Hackett briefly described more than a decade of municipal accounting experience and prior private-sector work. Councilors asked about job scope and pay; council members agreed to add “special projects as assigned” into the job description and to document the hourly compensation in that job description. Councilman Jonathan Gunn asked staff to include compensation information in the posted job description.
After the appointment vote, staff administered the oath of office to Hackett. The council then separately adopted a resolution authorizing the newly appointed treasurer to access the town’s PTIF account. Both the appointment and the PTIF-resolution votes passed by roll call.
Next steps: the treasurer will begin work on onboarding tasks; staff will finalize the job description with the agreed compensation and assignment language and provide the treasurer access to the town’s PTIF accounts.
