On June 7, 2022, during discussion of the proposed budget, the Board heard from Auditor-Controller/Treasurer-Tax Collector Elect Cubbison regarding the upcoming budget and directed staff to bring back an item for discussion regarding the consolidation of those offices.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Pursuant to Ordinance No. 4500, the offices of the Auditor-Controller/Treasurer-Tax Collector will be consolidated into a single elected position beginning in January of 2023.
