WELL-TRAINED, WELL-EDUCATED and WELL-PREPARED

By CAROL A. SIMS

Candidate for Fiscal Officer; Township of Symmes

This information is provided by the candidate
My 24 years of service with Symmes Township has given me a unique understanding of our local government and how it needs to respond to the issues facing us in today's challenging financial environment. I have experience in the preparation of budgets and appropriations, regulatory reports, minutes, payroll, audits, revenues and expenditures - to name just a couple things that are handled by the Fiscal Officer. I understand township operations and administrative functions.

I bring an extensive background of Township experience, knowledge and dedication to the position of Fiscal Officer.

Over the years, I have attended the annual training sessions provided by the Ohio Township Association (OTA) and the Ohio Auditor's Office for all important fiscal, record keeping, ethics and cemetery issues that face townships on a day-to-day basis. I recently completed the required CPIM training.

I know and understand the Sunshine Law and how it limits reasons for executive sessions and requires open meetings during which decisions are made. I am well versed in document retention, including the new regulations dealing with records such as email compliance.

What you will get from me as your Symmes Township Fiscal Officer is a well-trained, well-educated and well-prepared person who considers integrity, credibility and fiscal conservatism as the only way to handle your tax dollars.

I will continue to provide all the required day-to-day in-house duties. I will fully handle the management of he financial operations within and throughout the Township's structure.
