BACKGROUND

N.C.G.S. 159-25 requires all checks or drafts on an official depository to be signed by the Finance Officer or a designated Deputy Finance Officer and countersigned by another official designated for such purpose. The Department of Health and Human Services as well as the County Jail, maintain and write checks for various representative payee accounts. These are non-County funds. In order to ensure compliance with G.S. 159-25, the Finance Officer wishes to designate specific job positions within the Department of Health and Human Services and the County Jail with check signing authority. These positions will only have the authority to sign checks for their respective representative payee accounts. This will provide three positions within the Department of Health and Human Services and eight positions within the County Jail with check signing authority for their respective accounts.

POLICY IMPACT

Approval of this Board Action gives the Finance Officer authority to designate specific job positions authority to sign checks for their respective payee accounts. No other policy impact is anticipated.
