DISCUSSION:

Before your Board for acceptance is the resignation of Treasurer-Tax Collector John Bartholomew (effective April 23, 2022). Government Code Section 25304 states that: “the Board of Supervisors shall fill by appointment all vacancies that occur in any office filled by the appointment of the Board and elective county officers, except judge of the superior court and supervisors.”  The appointee shall hold office for the unexpired term or until the first Monday after January 1st succeeding the next general election. Accordingly, staff recommends your Board consider the appointment of an Interim Treasurer-Tax Collector effective Sunday, April 24, 2022, and until a newly elected Treasurer-Tax Collector officially takes the oath of office. 

 

The recommendation of the current Treasurer-Tax Collector is Amy Christensen, who currently serves as the Assistant Treasurer-Tax Collector and is running unopposed for that office in the upcoming election.

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The annual salary for Treasurer-Tax Collector is $141,117.  There is no significant financial impact to the county by appointing a Treasurer-Tax Collector to fill out the term, as the salary and benefit costs are included in the Fiscal Year 2021-22 budget and will be included in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 budget. Any pay increase would be effective Sunday, May 1st to correspond with the county’s pay period.

 

STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:

This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by providing community-appropriate levels of service and investing in county employees.
