Mayor Jay Vavricek on Wednesday announced the interim appointment, which will need ratification by the Grand Island City Council during its Sept. 27 meeting.
A certified public accountant, Monter has 27 years of experience in accounting and finance, including 11 years as a member of the city's Finance Department. She has a bachelor of science comprehensive business administration degree with emphasis in accounting and finance from Kearney State College.
Monter has been with the Finance Department since 2000 and has served as senior accountant since 2003. Her responsibilities have included preparing, analyzing and interpreting financial statements and accounting records for the city, the Community Redevelopment Authority and business improvement districts. In addition, she has helped review, supervise and direct processes and procedures for the Finance Department, including the city's prioritization budget process.Once approved for the appointment, Monter would start at step three of the treasurer/finance director pay scale, which is $81,852 annually.
Monter will serve in the role for an indefinite time period while the Human Resources Department renews its effort to fill the position permanently.
The finance director and city administrator position have been filled by Mary Lou Brown since December 2010. She was finance director at that time and was promoted to city administrator in March 2011.
Naming an interim finance director will allow Brown time to focus on the city administrator duties, Vavricek said.
"I acknowledge Mary Lou's many abilities, devotion and ability to maintain two jobs at once and feel confident Jaye's role in this interim leadership finance position is in the best interests of the people of Grand Island," he said.
Monter lives in Cairo and has served as the Cairo representative on the Regional Planning Commission for several years. Vavricek said because the appointment is an interim one, Monter would not need to resign from the commission. The commission makes non-binding recommendations regarding land use and development to the Grand Island City Council, Hall County board, Wood River City Council and villages of Alda, Doniphan and Cairo.
Should Monter's interim appointment turn into a permanent one, she would not have to leave Cairo to live in Grand Island, Vavricek said, because city code stipulates that department directors must live within 12 miles of Grand Island, and Monter complies with that.
