County staff to consult Treasurer after finance‑director vacancy created federal reimbursement approval gap
Summary
Transit staff told commissioners the departure of the County Finance Director left a separation‑of‑duties gap for Federal Transit Administration ECHO reimbursements; staff were directed to ask the Treasurer's Office about a temporary review process until a permanent director is hired.
Scott Chancy of Transit told the board June 2 that the recent departure of the County Finance Director created a personnel separation‑of‑duties gap for approving Federal Transit Administration ECHO reimbursement requests.
Chancy explained that federal rules require an authorized County representative to review and approve reimbursement requests independent of the staff who prepare them. He outlined possible temporary solutions, including use of the Treasurer's Office to provide the independent approval until a permanent Finance Director is hired. The board directed staff to consult the Treasurer and return with a recommendation if necessary.
No formal motion or vote was recorded on this item; staff were asked to report back with options.
