WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize the Treasury Operations division of the Office of the | ||
Comptroller of Public Accounts; and | ||
WHEREAS, After more than 150 years of service as a | ||
stand-alone financial management system, the Texas State | ||
Treasury Department was combined with the Office of the | ||
Comptroller of Public Accounts on September 1, 1996; and | ||
WHEREAS, Treasury Operations continues to provide | ||
essential oversight for all incoming and outgoing state funds; | ||
the division receives and safeguards state money, maintains | ||
accounts of all receipts and expenditures, and serves as | ||
custodian of securities in trust; and | ||
WHEREAS, Treasury Operations manages its complex financial | ||
responsibilities and oversight objectives through four primary | ||
business sections: Banking and Electronics Processing, Cash and | ||
Securities Management, Public Finance, and Treasury Accounting; | ||
these areas combined provide jobs for 50 full-time employees, | ||
more than a third of whom have been with the treasury since the | ||
department joined the comptroller's office; and | ||
WHEREAS, For more than 170 years, Texans have been able to | ||
depend on the efficient management and safekeeping of state | ||
funds, and the staff and administrators of Treasury Operations | ||
can indeed take pride in their contributions to the state; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th | ||
Legislature, hereby commend all associated with the Treasury | ||
Operations division of the Office of the Comptroller of Public | ||
Accounts and extend to them best wishes for the years ahead; and, | ||
be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
the Treasury Operations division as an expression of esteem from | ||
the Texas Senate. | ||
