SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 432
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.
