The
City's Finance Department is made up of the Finance Officer
and a Finance Assistant. Since the Department handles all of
the City's finances, we must work closely with all of the departments
within the City. We must also maintain professional relationships
with many outside organizations such as banks, vendors, and
other government agencies.
The
major responsibilities of The Finance Office include the following:
Handling all of accounts
payable and receivable
Monthly balancing and preparing financial reports for
internal use by City Council,
Department Heads, and Arts
Council
Completing required financial
reports such as quarterly payroll reports, AG-385, EEO-4
and grant status reports
Maintaining all personnel
files
Calculating and preparing
payroll on a biweekly basis
Preparing Tax forms such
as W-9s, W-2s, 1099s and tax exemption forms
Reviewing interest rates
and options for investing The City's monies
There
is also an elected City Controller who oversees the Finance
Office. He has several duties which include signing the reports
and checks that we prepare, and serving on the Pension Boards.
