Committee recommends part-time deputy clerk/treasurer to ensure elections and billing continuity
Summary
The Finance and Purchase Committee agreed Jan. 19 to recommend creating a part-time deputy clerk/treasurer (15–20 hours/week) to cover elections, utility billing, records, and office duties; estimated annual cost at 20 hours/week is about $15,600.
Clerk/Treasurer Atterbury proposed creating a part-time deputy clerk/treasurer who could be formally appointed, take the official oath of office, and legally act on behalf of the clerk/treasurer when necessary. The committee agreed to recommend the position to the full board.
Atterbury said many duties require specialized knowledge, noting problems that arose during her prior leave, particularly with utility billing, and argued a sworn deputy would provide necessary continuity for elections and official paperwork. Financial estimates discussed were that 20 hours per week at $15 per hour would cost approximately $15,600 annually and 30 hours would cost about $23,400; keeping the position under 32 hours weekly would avoid triggering benefits.
