When the economic downturn occurred in 2009 resulting in local and state budget challenges, the Public Works Department (Department) implemented strategies that included reorganizing the Department and streamlining its staffing levels. One result of this was the elimination of the Account Clerk Supervisor position. Since then, Account Clerk staff have been reporting to two different Supervising Accountants, based on the functional areas. Now that the economy has continued to recover, the Department would like to add an Account Clerk Supervisor position to assist with centralizing Account Clerk staff under one supervisor which would allow for streamlining work and increased efficiency.  
  
The Account Clerk Supervisor will be responsible for, but not limited to the following:  
  
1. Managing workloads and job assignments among staff;  
2. Ensuring consistent training and direction;  
3. Managing and coordinating time off and ensuring proper coverage of duties;  
4. Ensuring coverage for Corrigo work order processing for Facilities Maintenance and the Fee hotline;  
5. Ensuring County policy and procedures are followed regarding accounts payable and accounts receivable;  
6. Updating processes and procedures and providing training as needed;  
7. Researching and resolving payable issues as they arise; and,  
8. Performing general supervisory duties including performance reviews and scheduling.  
  

If this action is not approved, it will limit the ability of the Department's Finance Division to streamline overall work performed and provide consistent supervision to line staff.
