Pursuant to a request made of the Budget and Revenue Task Force by the Board of Selectmen, a Town Financial Organization Study Committee was convened to determine whether it were appropriate for the Town of Arlington to re-structure it's organizational model with regard to departments performing financial functions. Primarily, the Committee was charged with considering whether a model involving an appointed Treasurer~should supplant the current elected-Treasurer model. However, the Committee also considered, among other things, the prudence and viability of
creating such positions as Budget Director, Chief Financial Officer, and Town Administrator, along with various permutations of organizational charts.
The Committee created three working groups to study: (1) the current Arlington structure; (2) the rationale behind other municipalities adopting alternative models; and (3) information from 3rd parties (for example, the Mass DOR) with insight into the various models and ramifications of each.
