Finance and Administration consists of Financial Management, Human Resources,
Purchasing, and Management Information Systems.
Financial Management:
The primary responsibility of the fiscal function is to maintain a positive
cash flow to ensure that all programs can operate effectively. Effective
budgeting and monitoring are essential to this end. Each month the board is
presented with financial reports showing planned and actual revenue
and expenses and projections for the remainder of the year. This enables the
board members and board managers to identify potential cash shortfalls and make
any adjustments that may be needed.
The fiscal function is also responsible for the routine day to day activities
of making deposits, paying bills, coordinating with county officials, managing payroll
and overseeing the purchasing and receiving responsibilities.
On average, approximately 85% of our annual revenue comes from local property
taxes voted on by county residents. The state provides 5%, while 8%
comes from Medicaid and other federal reimbursements and 2% from other local sources. For
expenses, on average 24% of our expenses go for our Children's Programs, 56% for
our Adult Programs, and 20% for Community Residential and
Family Support Services.
Human Resources:
The Superintendent is the appointing authority for all board employees.
The goal of the human resources function is to insure that sufficiently trained
staff are on hand so that the board can carry out its mission.
Greene County DD currently has approximately 121 full time equivalent
employees in both direct service and support positions. All employees of the
board are civil service employees, either classified or unclassified. All
positions require at least a high school diploma or equivalent. All direct
service positions are either required to be licensed by the state of Ohio or be
certified or registered by the Ohio Department of DD.
Because we are dealing with a segment of the population that requires strict
attention to health and safety issues, state law requires that we thoroughly
screen all final job applicants by performing not only a criminal background
check, but also checks of the DD Abuse Registry, the state Nurses Registry, and
state driving records.
In addition, all final applicants must successfully complete a medical exam including
drug screening. All classified employees must serve a probation period of 300 days for management
and professional positions and 180 days for all other positions.
Working for a county board of DD requires a very dedicated individual. If
you are interested in a position with us, all of our open positions are posted
in the Greene County Office of Personnel. You may also stop by our
administrative offices on Valley Road to inquire about openings.
