Committee approves moving grants manager role to County Manager's Office to strengthen compliance
Summary
The committee voted to forward a request to transfer the vacant grants and contracts manager position from Finance to the County Manager's Office, citing the need for stronger grant compliance and performance reporting ahead of an audit.
The chair proposed moving the vacant grants and contracts manager position from the Finance Department to the County Manager's Office to centralize oversight, compliance, and technical assistance for county grants. The chair framed the role as critical for risk management and audit readiness and said it would focus on updating policies and ensuring compliance.
Susan (Finance) supported the move, saying much of the grants work is not strictly financial and that the function would be a better fit under the County Manager while maintaining close ties with Finance. Committee members discussed possible partnerships with the school district and college for grant-writing while emphasizing the county's need for an on-staff grants compliance role. The committee voted to forward the change to the Board of County Commissioners for final approval.
