end
Background and Discussion:
Government Code Sec. 133.055, The Treasurer’s Office is required to file the state report for the quarter in the regular manner to the state comptroller which will reflect the criminal and civil fees for the preceding calendar quarter.
Texas Property Code Title 6 of Unclaimed Property, Chapter 76 which requires the Treasurer’s Office to develop an unclaimed property program for the reporting, delivery, public notification, claims processing, enforcement and accounting of the reported unclaimed property. Chapter 76 also requires each city, county, school district and junior college to develop an unclaimed property program for the reporting, delivery, public notification, claims processing, enforcement and accounting of this locally reported unclaimed property. The addition of these five positions will allow the Treasurer’s Office to maintain high standards of operational efficiency and sustainability. Proper staffing is necessary to ensure that we continue to meet deadlines, manage resources effectively, and provide timely and accurate financial services to our stakeholders.
Expected Impact:
The Treasurer’s Office is requesting approval for the addition of five (5) full-time positions to our department in the current fiscal year. This request is driven by the increased scope of duties and responsibilities that our office has recently undertaken, which require additional personnel to ensure the continued efficiency and effectiveness of our operations.
