COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Branch County Board of Commissioners gave Administrator Frank Walsh formal approval on Tuesday to hire a Finance Director who would serve as a Deputy County Administrator.
The total annual cost would be $130,000 for the position which would include a salary of between $90,000 and $98,000 plus $35,000 in benefits.
Walsh proposed to Commissioners during last Thursday’s work session that the position be paid for from three funding sources in the budget.
They would use funds allocated to a part-time micro-film clerk as well as the funds paid annually to auditors to gather materials. Money that has been used to oversee the Building Inspection Department would also be used.
It’s hoped someone can be hired for the position by early April. Whoever is hired would work with the current auditors to see what information is needed for future audits.
