• Conduct complex financial projections, analyze workload impacts on staffing and fee structures, and recommend fiscally responsible adjustments of the department’s $4 million operations program budget.
• Supervise professional, technical, and administrative staff, balancing workloads to meet immediate and long-term program needs while conducting quality assurance reviews, performance evaluations, and implementing corrective or disciplinary actions as necessary.
• Drive enterprise-wide process improvement initiatives through structured methodologies such as Lean Six Sigma, facilitating the department’s Green Belt/Innovation Team and ensuring measurable, sustainable operational enhancements.
• Ensure compliance with federal and state records retention laws by administering the department’s records management program, coordinating with state and County records authorities, and transitioning legacy paper systems to accessible electronic platforms.
• Administer public disclosure and noticing functions, coordinating with legal counsel on sensitive requests and ensuring adherence to statutory timelines and parliamentary procedures.
• Provide consultation and professional reports internally and externally, maintaining collaborative partnerships that strengthen transparency and public trust.
• Implement system customizations, technology enhancements, workflow refinements, and policy updates that improve customer service delivery, productivity, and departmental performance outcomes.
