Dell Rapids accepts finance officer resignation; Steve McFarland named interim finance officer
Summary
Council accepted the resignation of finance officer Claire Bartman and voted to appoint Steve McFarland as interim finance officer; council discussed auditor input and said the interim designation provides an additional signature/checks-and-balances role.
The Dell Rapids City Council accepted the resignation of finance officer Claire Bartman and appointed Steve McFarland as interim finance officer.
Mayor Simmons moved to accept Bartman's resignation; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Council then nominated Steve McFarland to serve as interim finance officer. Council members said they had spoken with auditors about whether Tammy or Steve should serve in the role and that appointing Steve would provide an additional layer of checks and balances. One councilor explained that as interim finance officer Steve would primarily be designated to sign documents in that capacity.
The council approved both the acceptance of the resignation and the interim appointment by voice vote. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally for either action; minutes or the formal personnel action should be consulted for the official record and any effective dates.
