Patricia

Deputy/Accounts Specialist

I have worked for the county since September 1996. 

My responsibilities:  

• Maintaining Warrant System which handles approximately 48,000 warrants per year.

• Disbursing funds to the taxing entities by the 10th of the month through our Accounts Paid System.

• Establishing and maintaining monthly reports for each in county school district, detailing all funds.

The county treasurer is allowed to a two percent commission on all funds coming to his/her office.  The commission is allowed on all funds including county and school district funds (except revolving loan, equalizing, vocational education funds and proceeds of bond sales and insurance claims and other non-revenue receipts) which the treasurer receives (A.C.A. 21-6-302).

Also, the county treasurer is allowed a smaller commission (less that 2%) from school districts which employ their own treasurer.  (A.C.A. 6-20-221) 

The 2% commission is not kept by the treasurer but is intended to create a source of revenue accruing to the office from which the salary or operation of the office could be paid.  Any excess treasurer's commission shall be redistributed to the various taxing units.
