Impact analysis
Cutting the position could save taxpayers money on salaries and benefits, but it might also lead to higher costs if financial oversight is outsourced or mismanaged.
Taxpayers could see lower administrative costs if the role is deemed redundant and successfully phased out.
The current officeholders and staff would lose their jobs, and some residents worry that removing a dedicated treasurer could make the county's finances less transparent.
