Council approves transfer to enable auditor/comptroller transition; new auditor starts June 1
Summary
The council approved a transfer to allow the interim auditor to move into the comptroller role when newly hired auditor Cheryl begins on June 1; councilors congratulated both staff members and approved the motion by voice vote.
The Holyoke City Council approved a transfer to permit an administrative staffing change in the finance office: the interim auditor will move into the comptroller role when the newly hired auditor, Cheryl, begins work on June 1.
Sharon (the auditor present at the meeting) said she and the incoming auditor had been expected to transition in July under the finance modernization plan, but Cheryl is able to start on June 1. Because two people cannot occupy the auditor position simultaneously, the approved transfer will allow Sharon to shift into the comptroller role and Cheryl to be appointed auditor effective June 1.
Council members congratulated both individuals; one member noted they were "very well qualified." The motion to approve the transfer was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. Following this action, the meeting adjourned.
The action authorizes internal accounting changes to permit the personnel transition; staff said more details on exact budget line balances were not available during the meeting.
