COUNTY EXECUTIVE
The changes the County Executive is requesting to meet the budget task are in the Auditing
Department, it is proposed to downsize the Auditing Department to four fulltime employees, this
has been accomplished earlier than expected as sufficient employees have found positions in

one Secretary II position previously deleted with the FY 2010 budget, not to create one Secretary ll
PTNE Secretary II position approved with the FY 2010 budget, continue one Auditor II position
previously deleted with the 2010 budget and delete one Senior Auditor position for a total cost of
$64,586. For the FY 2012 budget the request is to continue one Auditor II position that was
approved for deletion in the FY 2010 budget, delete one Senior Auditor position and one Auditor II

number mistake made by the Human Resources Department in a previously approved resolution
