Title
Appointment of City Treasurer
LABEL
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommendation
Adopt a resolution to appoint Finance Director Rajneil Prasad as City Treasurer.
Body
DISCUSSION:
City Charter Section 75 authorizes the City Council to appoint the City Treasurer. Historically, the duties of the City Treasurer have been performed by the Finance Director, as reflected in the designation of the Finance Director’s responsibilities in Napa Municipal Code Chapter 2.32. The City’s previous Finance Director, Anne Cardwell, announced her resignation from the position effective January 23, 2023 and on January 17, 2023, the Council designated Deputy Director Rajneil Prasad to serve as City Treasurer until such time as a permanent Finance Director has been named.
After a nationwide recruitment, the City Manager has appointed Mr. Prasad as the City’s new Finance Director. To maintain a consistent approach for Council appointment of the City Treasurer, today’s resolution will document the consolidation of the Finance Director and City Treasurer positions and reflect Mr. Prasad’s appointment to the permanent position.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
None.
CEQA:
