RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING POSITION OF FISCAL TECHNICIAN AND ELIMINATING ACCOUNTANT POSITION AND AMENDING THE 2016 OPERATING BUDGET (COUNTY TREASURER)


Resolution by Legislator:   Wheeler
Seconded by: Quackenbush

WHEREAS, due to changing responsibilities and position turnover the Treasurer’s Department has a need for a change in title of a position; and

WHEREAS, the County Treasurer hereby requests the elimination of the titled Accountant position (Grade I) and the creation of a  Fiscal Technician position (Grade I); and

WHEREAS, the addition of a Fiscal Technician position (Grade I) will open the position to a greater pool of applicants without any increase in salary.

RESOLVED, the Montgomery County Legislature hereby authorizes and creates a Fiscal Technician position (Grade I); and

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Montgomery County Legislature hereby eliminates the Accountant position (Grade I);

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County Treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to amend the 2016 Operating Budget as follows:

TRANSFER FROM:     
A-06-4-1325-00-.1110 (545)  Accountant $7,250

A-06-4-1325-00-.1110 (New)  Fiscal Technician $7,250

RESOLUTION VOTE, passed with Aye(9). (10/25/2016)


Statement of Legislative and Financial Impact:

I. Nature of Request:

Change in title for position in Treasurer's office


II. Justification:

Due to the high turnover of position and narrow qualification makes very difficult to hire and retain individual in current title.  New title would open position to a greater pool of candidates.


III. Legislative Impact:

Pursuant to Article 2 of the Charter the Montgomery County Legislature has the authority to create and abolish positions and to make appropriations.


IV. Financial Impact:

No fiscal impact - salary of new position would be same grade and amount as current title
