To:Scott C. Stiles

From:Kingsley Okereke
Dept.:City Manager 

Dept.: Finance 
Subject:

Adoption of a Resolution reappointing a City Treasurer and appointing an Interim Deputy City Treasurer. (Action Item)

Date:9/11/2018

OBJECTIVE

The City of Garden Grove City Council is requested to adopt the attached Resolution re-appointing Laura J. Stover, Human Resources Director, as City Treasurer and, appointing Scott C. Stiles, City Manager, as Interim Deputy City Treasurer.

BACKGROUND

Many of the duties of the City Treasurer are in fact performed under the jurisdiction of the City’s Finance Department, with the City Treasurer primarily responsible for the co-signing of checks and warrants, as well as the reconciliation of the bank statements.  It is prudent that the City continues to maintain a separate treasurer function that provides a proper financial check and balance system.

 

The current Deputy City Treasurer, Kingsley Okereke, is retiring as of September 27, 2018, making it necessary to appoint a new Deputy City Treasurer. The recruitment and placement of a new Finance Director will take some time. Hence in the interim, it is recommended that City Manager Scott C. Stiles be appointed as the interim Deputy City Treasurer pending the appointment of a new Finance Director.

 

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 

  • Adopt the Resolution re-appointing Laura J. Stover, Human Resources Director, as City Treasurer, and appointing Scott C. Stiles, City Manager, as Interim Deputy City Treasurer.
