Coats board to budget part-time administrative hire after clerk flags heavy workload
Summary
Finance Director/Town Clerk Connie Lassiter told the board she is working excessive hours; the board reached consensus March 27 to budget a part-time administrative position to help with workload and address a recurring separation-of-duties audit finding.
Town Manager Barbara Hollerand told the Coats Board of Commissioners on March 27 that the Finance Director/Town Clerk was working "too many hours every week" and recommended creating a part-time administrative position. The board reached consensus to include funding for the part-time hire in the town budget.
Ms. Hollerand said the additional part-time role would also begin to address a recurring audit finding: insufficient separation of duties in finance functions. Commissioners did not provide a salary or timeline at the work session; the matter will be folded into budget preparations.
