Tax assessor asks for two full‑time hires, cites electronic dealer processing and space gains
Summary
Jenny, Parker County tax assessor‑collector, asked commissioners for two full‑time positions and part‑time funding after office renovations increased workstation capacity; she said electronic dealer submissions have shifted processing needs to Weatherford and recommended a dedicated clerk for Springtown dealer transactions.
Jenny, the tax assessor‑collector, told the commissioners she’s requesting funding for two full‑time employees and additional part‑time money to staff newly available workstations after a recent renovation. “We currently have 22 full time employees ... So we are short 9,” Jenny said, adding that the state liaison recommended 31 workstations and electronic dealer transactions now require in‑office processing in Weatherford.
Jenny described a local operations change driven by state law: vehicle dealers now submit title transactions electronically instead of walking them in, which concentrates back‑office work in Weatherford and leaves Springtown without physical space for another clerk. To avoid forcing residents to travel, Jenny said the office would process submissions centrally in Weatherford and mail stickers back to Springtown. Commissioners asked follow‑up questions about locations, part‑time schedules and the budget committee review process that will vet personnel requests.
