10. Request for Approval of the November 15, 2005 Minutes
- -
------END OF CONSENT AGENDA --------
Request for Approval of Budget Amendment #20 in the Amount of $19,020
for the Creation of an Accounting Technician I Position: Deputy County Manager
Blumenstein said a new position was needed to relieve the workload of the existing
staff. She said unless additional help was given, the workload and subsequent
overtime compensation would only increase in the accounts payable, payroll, and
payroll audit division. Additionally, she said state laws had changed regarding sales
tax refunds, and the school systems would not be allowed to directly apply for them in
the future. She said it would be necessary for the county staff to assume the
responsibility (apply for the refunds), and this was further justification for the new
position.
OTION by Commissioner Johnson to approve Budget Amendment #20, with
the funds ($19,020) to be taken out of contingency, for the establishment of the
position.
