Collector’s office gets temporary part‑time position through year‑end as workloads rise
Summary
The Quorum Court approved a part‑time position in the county collector’s office through the end of the year after staff described increased workload and multiple responsibilities; officials said any longer‑term addition would be considered during the regular budget process.
The Quorum Court approved an ordinance adding a part‑time position to the Marion County collector’s office through the end of the year. A staff member described a broad set of duties handled by the collector’s office — working with veterans’ benefits, coordinating with the assessor, tracking mobile homes, interacting with abstract and mortgage companies, and assisting taxpayers — and said plainly, "I do need a part time person."
Transcripts show staff detailed high customer volumes, periods with three staff at counters and others handling phones, and said adding a part‑time worker would help maintain service during busy periods. Committee members clarified the authorization would last until year‑end, and any ongoing position would need to be considered during the next budget season. The motion carried by voice vote.
