Proposal by: Topic: Meeting: <br />Bryan Elliott, County Auditor Request Additional Office January 9th, 2024 <br />Space for Finance Staff <br />Summary: The Auditors Office Finance Staff currently consists of seven full time staff members and <br />works out of the Auditors Office "backroom" plus a cubicle for the Budget and Finance Director. The <br />Finance team has a diverse assortment of roles that require individual administrative tasks, small team <br />planning, and customer facing interactions for both internal and external county stakeholders. While the <br />current workspace is adequate it is not optimized to enable further specialization of our team as we <br />move to a higher level of comprehensive financial analysis and long-range budget planning. <br />Recommendation: The Finance staff needs additional space to allow our staff to better specialize within <br />their respective roles. Currently, there are four offices vacant adjacent to the BOCC Auditorium. We <br />propose to repurpose two of the vacant offices closest to the main hallway and the vacant front foyer <br />space so that several members of our staff to include the Budget and Finance Director, can relocate <br />here. This will allow for: <br />• Better concentration on individual budget planning and analysis in addition to a place for small <br />teams to gather and discuss topics as needed. <br />• Redesigning the current Auditors Office backroom to give more space to the staff that remain <br />over here and optimizing the space for improved internal/external customer interactions. <br />• Capacity for the finance team to grow. There are no current plans for Auditors staff to increase <br />in the short term, but we know that the county is always looking for organizational efficiencies <br />and we would be well positioned to welcome new team members (if needed in the future) or <br />expand other opportunities such as internships. <br />
