Which statement is true about the Treasurer's responsibilities?

• A. Responsible for all county funds, makes investments and payments
• B. Oversees the county jail
• C. Maintains the morgue
• D. Hears original jurisdiction cases

Answer: (A)

The Treasurer's responsibilities center on the county's finances. That means they oversee all county funds, manage cash flow, invest idle money according to policy and law, and handle payments for payroll, vendors, debt service, and other obligations. They also keep and reconcile financial records and report on the county’s finances to the appropriate oversight body. The other tasks listed belong to different offices: the jail is typically overseen by the Sheriff, the morgue by the Coroner or Medical Examiner, and hearing original jurisdiction cases by a judge in the courts.
