Treasurer’s office seeks deputy treasurer position; board pulls item from consent for full discussion
Summary
Treasurer’s office requested a full-time deputy treasurer I to handle increased workload tied to software conversion and reassessment season (FY26 partial cost $35,601; FY27 cost $71,350). Supervisors debated moving the matter to the regular agenda for a vote versus handling it in the budget process; the item was pulled from consent at a supervisor’s request.
Treasurer’s office staff asked the board to authorize creation of a full-time deputy treasurer I (cashier), grade 24, citing growing workloads, a pending software conversion and an upcoming reassessment. Staff estimated the FY2026 cost impact at $35,601 assuming a March 1, 2026 start date and an ongoing FY2027 cost of $71,350 to be considered in the next adopted budget.
"The FY 2026 cost impact for this position is $35,601 assuming a 03/01/2026 start date," the treasurer’s office representative said, adding that costs include salary, benefits and technology fees and that funding would be sourced from general fund vacancy savings. The treasurer’s office representative described training needs and said she would post the position immediately if approved.
Supervisors debated procedural options. Some argued the request had been submitted in prior budgets but removed before adoption and preferred handling it through the budget process to evaluate multiple personnel requests together; others said the ongoing workload and upcoming staff leave justified placing the item on the regular agenda for an immediate vote. One supervisor requested removing the item from consent so it could be discussed later on the regular agenda; the chair granted the request.
Board members discussed alternate options such as a one-year temporary allocation or using one-time funds to allow earlier hiring if the budget route were chosen. No formal approval occurred during the morning session; the item was set for regular-agenda consideration.
