2 Deputy Revenue Director Revise the salary grade As the Revenue Director/Tax Collector classification was reclassified to reflect the additional functions and oversight of the Tax Assessor position, many revenue specific duties were transferred to the Deputy Revenue Director. These additional duties include the oversight and accountability for the full value assessment and billing of register motor vehicles, oversight and responsibility for- the billing and collection of emergency management, including ambulance billing, fire inspections, and special contracts. These additional duties coupled with the position's current responsibilities for coordinating the collection of tax revenue makes this position responsible for collection of all County revenue. Change title of an existing class In January 2010, the Revenue Director/Tax Collector title was retitled to Tax Administrator, making the title Deputy Revenue Director no longer consistent with the department's direction. Reviewing the position's responsibilities for collecting multiple revenue streams including tax collection, EMS billing, 3R services, and registered motor vehicles, Revenue Collections Manager is determined to be the most descriptive title. The title Revenue Collections Manager is also consistent with other jurisdictions. Tax Assessor In January 2010 the Revenue Director/Tax Collector classification was reclassified to reflect the duties of both the Tax Collector and Tax Assessor, and the classification title changed to Tax Administrator. The previous Tax Assessor maintained responsibility to overseeing the Tax Assessor's Office and conducting the County's in-house revaluation of all real property. The reorganization identified the need to have a position responsible for this task other than the Tax Administrator. This position will be responsible for the County's revaluation process as well as processing appeals supporting the Board of Equalization and Review. The Tax Assessor (Grade 29) is recommended to be reclassified to Revaluation Manager (Grade 19). FINANCIAL IMPACT: The chart below outlines the difference between the first quarter salaries for each reclassification. Funding for the salary increase associated with the proposed reclassification will come from existing departmental appropriations in the FY 2009-10 budget. There is no additional funding required for the proposed reclassification of the position.
