What is the status of the office location move of the Department of Environmental <br /> Management? ~ <br /> The department will ultimately consolidate operations from 108 Railroad Avenue and <br /> relocate to Rooms 200-204 of the County Building at 25 Aupuni Street. Work needs to <br /> be done on the roof and the plan is to use these rooms as the holding ground for offices <br /> from each quadrant of the building. Since this means we would be the last occupants of <br /> that space, a request has been made to temporarily relocate up to 5 people across the <br /> hall to Room 219. It could take two years for the department to get to its permanent <br /> office, although the ultimate scheduling will be up to the Department of Public Works. <br /> 2. Please justify the need for a new employee? <br /> ACCOUNTANT I: <br /> As part of creating a new department and establishing the necessary staffing levels, we <br /> request to add an Accountant I position. About six months ago we assumed all <br /> remaining fiscal duties that the Department of Public Works had been performing on <br /> our behalf. While we have tried to take all of this on with minimal staffing levels, we <br /> Tend that an additional position is necessary. <br /> The Accountant I position will provide oversight of the payroll functions, contract <br /> administration, coordination and assistance with procurements, grant management, .t <br /> and other general accounting functions for the department.
