City of Oak Creek

Common Council Report

Meeting Date:  12-05-06

Item No.:        

Recommendation:  To begin discussion on whether to change the positions of City Clerk/Comptroller and City Treasurer from elected to appointed positions.

Background:  The positions of Clerk and Treasurer are currently elected for two-year terms.  The work for both positions demands full-time attention by an individual with solid work ethic, a high degree of integrity, positive personality, and a team player. 

The growth Oak Creek has experienced in recent years has taken the positions to a level of professionalism that demands appointment based on knowledge, skills, ability and experience rather than a successful political campaign.  

Fiscal Impact:  There is no fiscal impact to this discussion. 

	Respectfully prepared and submitted, Patrick DeGrave City Administrator
