Subject: Appointment Recommendation (Interim Treasurer-Tax Collector)
I am honored to recommend Peggy Moak for the position of Interim Treasurer-Tax Collector of Butte
County.The upcoming retirement of Linda Barnes will leave a leadership void which must be filled by a
person possessing a thorough understanding of departmental policies, practices and procedures. Peggy
Moak is that person.
I have known Peggy for some 10 years and, during this time, I have observed her excellent performance,
professionalism,and dedication to her staff.She has managed the Butte County investment pool of over
$400 million dollars with consistent results of higher than average yields utilizing a conservative
portfolio strategy. Her coordination with me and other department heads has served to provide the
important disclosure documentation required for the issuance and post-issuance ofTRAN, as well as for
management of long-term debt.She is a vital resource to other departments for various projects such as
the Landfill Gas-to-Energy Project, and PACE (green energy improvements).And she has contributed to
implementation of the Debt Management Policy, General Fund Reserve Policy, Positive Pay Policy and
Procedure, and Credit Card Acceptance Procedure.
Peggy's resume of education and work experience is impressive.She attended the Denver College of
Financial Planning where she received, and at one time held,the designation of Certified Financial
Planner. Her 20-year career with Washington Mutual Bank was exemplified by several promotions over
a long-standing profession: Operations Manager; Regional Administrative Officer; and Branch Manager,
Chico,Oroville and Paradise.
Peggy prides herself on community involvement and serves on the Concow Citizen's Committee,and
with Friends of the High Lakes. Additionally, in the past she has served in Rotary,the Chambers of
Commerce of Chico,Oroville and Paradise, Butte College Foundation, Business and Professional
Women's Foundation,and the Paradise and Thermalito Little League Boards.
Peggy is genuinely appreciated by all staff of the tax cycle departments. In short, she is a pleasure to
work with and we are fortunate to have someone so capable and qualified to fill this important interim
position. Her credentials, ethics and leadership skills are top-notch and we are blessed to know she fully
understands the inner workings of her department and the complex responsibilities of department
head. Without reservation, I endorse Peggy Moak and recommend that you appoint her to the position
of Interim Treasurer-Tax Collector of Butte County.
