WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Melaney Goebel, who is retiring from the Office of the | ||
Comptroller of Public Accounts after many years of outstanding | ||
service to the state; and | ||
WHEREAS, Melaney began her career in state government in | ||
December of 1988 working as a clerk in the bid room at the General | ||
Services Commission, where she prepared bids for bid openings and | ||
read bids to the public; in 1992, she was promoted and moved to | ||
the accounting department to work as an accounting clerk in | ||
accounts payable; there she had her first exposure to payroll | ||
processing using the old DIR FACTS system; and | ||
WHEREAS, Melaney received promotions each year as she | ||
quickly rose through the ranks to the position of Accountant VII; | ||
she cross-trained on payroll duties and assisted with the | ||
agency's conversion to the Uniform Statewide Payroll/Personnel | ||
System and then became the payroll officer for the agency; | ||
Melaney also verified the accuracy of travel vouchers and became | ||
the supervisor over accounts payable, travel, and payroll in | ||
April of 2002; and | ||
WHEREAS, Melaney joined the comptroller's office as a | ||
Systems Analyst II in the Fiscal Management division in December | ||
of 2002, and she immediately began to support a full load of | ||
agencies on the Uniform Statewide Payroll/Personnel System; in | ||
addition, Melaney started to support agencies reporting to the | ||
Statewide Payroll/Personnel Reporting System and was able to | ||
document functional specifications for both systems; and | ||
WHEREAS, Due to Melaney's functional and technical | ||
expertise in the statewide payroll systems, she was called upon | ||
throughout her career in the Fiscal Management division to | ||
participate on projects to implement new statewide systems; she | ||
continued to take on challenging projects as an analyst, | ||
coordinator, and trainer, and she was of invaluable assistance in | ||
the implementation of Project One, a statewide Enterprise | ||
Resource Planning solution for state agencies; and | ||
WHEREAS, In September of 2013, Melaney accepted a promotion | ||
to Systems Analyst V as Team Lead of the Statewide Human Resources | ||
and Payroll Assistance Section, where she has served as the go-to | ||
person for her team, customers, and management; and | ||
WHEREAS, In all of her assignments, Melaney has | ||
distinguished herself as an exemplary employee and colleague; | ||
her smile lights up a room, and her positive can-do attitude and | ||
dedication to providing exceptional customer service have | ||
contributed to her great success in each role she has held in | ||
state government; Melaney will be missed tremendously by all who | ||
have worked with her over the course of her career; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend Melaney Goebel on her many years of | ||
valuable service to the state and extend to her congratulations | ||
and best wishes as she retires from her position in the Office of | ||
the Comptroller of Public Accounts; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
her as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
