| Responsibilities of Clerk-Treasurer |
| The Clerk-Treasurer is elected to a four-year term and much like the Mayor is charged with all responsibilities for this office. The Clerk-Treasurer selects employees, sets office policy, and submits a budget to the City Council for approval. Funding for the operation of this office comes from the general fund. The Clerk-Treasurer's office is responsible for the investment and collection of all funds entitled to the City of New Castle. This includes utility payments, bus fares, permits, fines, etc. Much of the collections occur through other city departments, however reconciliation is made with the Clerk-Treasurer's office. This office is equally responsible for the payment of all liabilities claimed against the city, including payroll. This includes the payment of taxes to the appropriate governmental entity for withholding tax, FICA, Medicare and sales tax. Another primary responsibility is the taking of minutes at meetings of the City Council and Board of Public Works , preparing agendas, recording proceedings and maintaining custody of all public records including written ordinances, resolutions and contracts. Indiana State Board of Accounts performs an annual audit of the Clerk-Treasurer's office. |
