DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board accept the Treasurer-Tax Collector-County Clerk’s selection of Wanda Wheeler as the October 2020 “Employee of the Month” making her eligible to use the parking space designated for this program.
SUMMARY
On September 13, 2005, the Board of Supervisors established the County Government Center “Employee of the Month” parking program for County employees. Each month a department is designated to select one of its employees as “Employee of the Month”. The Treasurer-Tax Collector-County Clerk department has been designated to select an employee for October 2020.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The costs associated with preparing the agenda item are nominal and absorbed by the department’s FY2020/21 Preliminary Budget.
DISCUSSION:
In consultation with the management staff of the department, the Treasurer-Tax Collector-County Clerk has selected Wanda Wheeler as the October “Employee of the Month”. Wanda is an Accounting Technician assigned to the Treasury department. She was hired in August of 1999 as an Account Clerk in the Tax Division and was subsequently promoted to an Accounting Technician for her work in Treasury.
As the Treasury Accounting Technician, Wanda has overseen the growth of the Treasury from $300 million to $1.6 billion in invested assets. Along with the growth, Wanda has overseen the migration of accounting systems, the addition of substantial internal control tools, and the steady shift from paper check payments to electronic payments. Through all of this, Wanda has been consistently praised both internally and externally for the impeccable level of support she provides to departments and agencies utilizing Treasury services.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board could elect to name someone else as the Employee of the Month or dissolve the award program; however, these alternatives are not consistent with the Board’s “Employee of the Month Parking” program.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None.
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION
