The Treasurer is responsible for managing the financial affairs of the Town to assure that public resources are responsibly and accurately received, safeguarded, accounted for, and distributed.  The Treasurer works to mitigate risks and liabilities in order to protect the personal and financial interests of Town residents, taxpayers, employees, and visitors.

This Department oversees the Town's cash management and investment program as well as the Town's debt service administration.  This is accomplished by establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the Town are protected from loss, theft or misuse and to ensure that adequate accounting data are compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Finally, financial reports prepared by the Treasurer accurately demonstrate the financial condition of the Town to assure access to financial markets.
