Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:

On December 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors enacted Ordinance No. 4500, consolidating the offices of the Auditor-Controller/Treasurer-Tax Collector into a single election position, effective January of 2023.

 

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.  While the Board has consolidated those positions into a single, elected department head, no other structural changes have been enacted at this time.

 

During budget hearings, the Board of Supervisors expressed desire to have a more thorough discussion with Auditor-Controller/Treasurer-Tax Collector Elect Cubbison about this consolidation.  Issues mentioned for possible discussion included the creation of an ad hoc, the possibility of keep existing staff structures in place, the possibility of creating efficiencies, new needs in staffing or contracts, and any needs that the Board may help meet during transition.
