Morrison County auditor/treasurer provides insight into department operations

At the Tuesday, May 14 Board of Commissioners planning session, Auditor/Treasurer Shannon Coyle gave a detailed presentation providing insight into the many roles and responsibilities of the auditor/treasurer’s department.

Coyle began by outlining the department’s organizational structure and staffing levels. She noted that the department is now fully staffed after recently hiring a new employee. Coyle praised the work of new Deputy Auditor/Treasurer Bre Mikkelsen and all other staff members who have over 65 years of experience between the seven of them.

In order to show the many responsibilities of her department’s staff members, Coyle showed a slide with many different types of hats, from a top hat to a fedora to a baseball cap to a pirate hat. Underneath each hat was the name of one of her staff’s roles, including land records, banker, tax calculation, elections, accounts payable, investments, ditches, accounts receivable, licenses/permits, forfeitures and delinquent taxes.
