ABOUT THE ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT
|
The Administrative Services Department was recently created to align several traditional functions of village government under a single umbrella. Those functions include duties of the clerks and treasurer's office, financial reporting and investing. Previously, the Village had two departments performing these functions; the Administration Department and the Finance Department. These departments were combined into one Administrative Services Department in December 2006.
There are five full-time employees of this department. Chris Haltom is the Executive Director (see above). Mitchell DeBauche and Nicole Hylok perform many of the finance and bookkeeping functions of the department. Annette DuPrey and Lynn Kobus perform receptionist and administrative assistant duties including greeting customers, by phone or in person, at the Village Hall.
