Commissioners approve temporary accounting contract to cover audit work
Summary
Facing a vacancy in the treasurer's office, commissioners approved hiring a temporary contract accountant (hourly, no benefits) for up to about 500 hours at roughly $35/hour to assist with audit-year workload.
The county treasurer told commissioners she lost an accounting position and proposed hiring a temporary contractor on an hourly, no-benefits basis to help with audit preparation and year-end reporting. The treasurer described a plan for up to about 500 hours at an expected rate near $35 an hour and asked for authorization to proceed with a time-limited contract; commissioners moved, seconded and approved the request.
Commissioners discussed logistics, including workspace, IT access and oversight. One commissioner noted the urgency around audit deliverables; the board approved the motion by voice vote and wished the treasurer luck with staffing and transition tasks.
