EXHIBIT B
BALLOT ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE B,
MAKING THE OFFICE OF CITY TREASURER APPOINTIVE
The City Council strongly urges a "YES" vote on Measure B.
In modern city government the City Treasurer performs highly important
technical and administrative duties, such as investing considerable sums of
City funds in interest bearing accounts, processing bond payments for the City
and so forth. Most of the day to day accounting, purchasing, money management
and budgeting services are performed for the City by the Finance Department
under the Director of Finance, an appointed position.
The tasks of the City Treasurer require professional financial and
investment skills.
It is highly inefficient to use the electoral process to fill this
position. The position should be filled from among qualified candidates,
using the same time tested competitive techniques used to hire other City
staff, which objectively compare candidates based on their qualifications to
perform the technical requirements of the job.
An elected City Treasurer cannot be as effectively supervised to insure
the continued efficient performance of his or her job duties.
Under this ballot measure, the City Council would directly appoint the
City Treasurer, and provide the necessary "check and balance" supervision for
the position.
The City Treasurer does not make policy. The City Treasurer does not act
as a complete check against the abuse of power by local government. City
finances are subject to an independent yearly audit by certified public
accountants. Making the City Treasurer an elected position converts what
should be a professionally-based technical and administrative job into a
political office.
Please take advantage of your right to make Ukiah City government more
efficient and cost effective by voting for good government. Vote "YES" on
Measure B.
C~EEN B. HENDERSON, Mayor, on behalf of the Ukiah City Council
