1. Daily Operations
The Daily Operations section is responsible for the cash management of county funds. This section provides for a continuous update of all investments and receipts. It is also responsible for the collection of county taxes and motor vehicle fines as well as various types of other revenue.

The centralized Accounting Section is responsible for the recording of daily transactions into the financial computer system as well as a manual control system. These systems are checked for accuracy on a daily basis. The section is also responsible for the reconciliation of bank and bond accounts. Grants management is also another activity that this section handles.
