Background and History:
Per Arizona Revised Statute 41-1279.07 the city is required to designate a Chief Fiscal Officer annually for expenditure limitation reporting. Section E reads, "The governing body of each political subdivision shall provide to the auditor general by July 31 each year the name of the chief fiscal officer designated by the governing body of the political subdivision to officially submit the current fiscal year's expenditure limitation report on behalf of the governing body. The governing body of the political subdivision shall notify the auditor general of any changes of individuals designated to file the required reports. The designated chief fiscal officer shall certify to the accuracy of the annual expenditure limitation report."
On September 15, 2015, Rick Tadder was appointed the City Treasurer by Resolution 2015-32. Therefore, designating the City Treasurer as the Chief Fiscal Officer fits within the duties of this position.
Staff was not familiar with this requirement and did not seek this designation by Council for the Fiscal Year 2019-20 reporting year. Therefore, we will be submitting a resolution for this fiscal year and next fiscal year.
