Deputy Treasurers helping cut costs, streamline workflow in Garland County
In today’s economy everyone is looking for
more efficient ways to conduct business and in the Garland County Treasurer’s office, Tammie White and Janet Foshee have gone over and above their call of duty. Tammie White (seated left) is chief deputy
Treasurer and Janet Foshee is deputy Treasurer and bookkeeper. With their combined experi- ence of 52 years in county government, there is probably no issue relating to county govern- ment that either of them has not dealt with at one time or another. A great benefit of their knowledge and experience is that they both are very well qualified to resolve complicated issues to keep the office operating at peak per- formance. Since January of this year Tammie and Janet
have developed procedures within the Garland County Treasurer’s Office that will allow us to operate more efficiently and save the Garland County taxpayers a considerable amount of money and resources. Many of their cost-saving
ideas have been implemented and the county is already reaping the benefits. To offer just a few examples of Tammie and
Janet’s accomplishments: Tey suggested up- dating our software (Financial Intelligence) to include the Treasurer’s signature on each check and receipt when they are printed. Tis has saved a considerable amount of time, paper stock, postage and envelopes. Tey also sug- gested utilizing a remote scanner, which they acquired at no cost to the county, to make check deposits without leaving the office. Addi- tionally, they have begun the process of making
direct deposit payments to all Garland County school districts and local cities/towns that will save Garland County an enormous amount of time and resources. Tere are too many examples of Tammie and
Janet’s cost-saving measures to list here, but this year alone, our office is projected to save in the thousands of dollars as a direct result of these dedicated professionals’ hard work and com- mitment to saving taxpayer dollars.
