Tax Administration Organization Chart INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael McGinnis, Human Resources Director, 245-2552 Allison Newcomer, Classification and Pay Manager, 245-2555 Jo Roberson, Tax Administrator, 245-2727 PURPOSE: To amend the Orange County Classification and Pay Plan to reflect a change in title and revise the salary grade to the Deputy Revenue Director classification. BACKGROUND: Section 5.1 of Article VI of the Orange County Personnel Ordinance provides that the Board of County Commissioners adopts the position classification plan and approves any amendment to: Add or delete a class; Change the title of an existing class; or Revise the salary grade of an established class. In September 2009, the Board approved staffs efforts to consolidate the Revenue Department and Tax Assessor's Office. Benefits of this consolidation include greater staff flexibility, particularly relevant during peak seasons, as well as enhanced customer service to the public. In October 2009, the Board received a timeline for consolidating the department, which included the need to review and reclassify some positions affected by the reorganization. In January 2010 the Revenue and Tax Assessor departments were consolidated to the Tax Administration Department. The Revenue DirectorlTax Collector classification was reclassified to reflect the duties of both the Tax Collector and Tax Assessor, and the classification title changed to Tax Administrator. Consistent with the timeline, in December 2009, positions in the Revenue Department and Tax Assessor's Office were reviewed to identify any changes in responsibilities due to the reorganization. The Deputy Revenue Director classification was identified as having an increased level of responsibility resulting in a need to revise the salary grade and making a change in the position title. The Tax Assessor classification was identified as needing to be reclassified to a Revaluation Manager.
