Summary

The commission approved new guidelines allowing promotional sponsorships from the lodgers tax fund and approved a revised job description and grade for the senior treasurer accountant, which will affect FY 2025–26 budgeting but is covered by salary savings for the current year.

Commissioners approved two administrative items intended to provide additional flexibility for county operations. Economic development staff recommended new sponsorship guidelines to allow the county to use promotional lodgers-tax funds for sponsorships that do not fit the formal grant program; Brent Taramillo explained the guidelines create a letter-of-interest process screened by the economic development office, with final approval by the county manager and commissioners.

Separately, the commission approved a revised job description and pay-grade correction for the senior treasurer accountant position after human-resources staff and the treasurer reviewed compensable factors. Treasurer Paula Sandistevan and HR staff said the reclassification will increase the FY 2025–26 salary lines but salary savings will cover the remainder of the current fiscal year; the position remains classified as nonexempt for overtime purposes.
