SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 389
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize Melaney Goebel, who is retiring from the Office of the |
|
|
Comptroller of Public Accounts after many years of outstanding |
|
|
service to the state; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Melaney began her career in state government in |
|
|
December of 1988 working as a clerk in the bid room at the General |
|
|
Services Commission, where she prepared bids for bid openings and |
|
|
read bids to the public; in 1992, she was promoted and moved to |
|
|
the accounting department to work as an accounting clerk in |
|
|
accounts payable; there she had her first exposure to payroll |
|
|
processing using the old DIR FACTS system; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Melaney received promotions each year as she |
|
|
quickly rose through the ranks to the position of Accountant VII; |
|
|
she cross-trained on payroll duties and assisted with the |
|
|
agency's conversion to the Uniform Statewide Payroll/Personnel |
|
|
System and then became the payroll officer for the agency; |
|
|
Melaney also verified the accuracy of travel vouchers and became |
|
|
the supervisor over accounts payable, travel, and payroll in |
|
|
April of 2002; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Melaney joined the comptroller's office as a |
|
|
Systems Analyst II in the Fiscal Management division in December |
|
|
of 2002, and she immediately began to support a full load of |
|
|
agencies on the Uniform Statewide Payroll/Personnel System; in |
|
|
addition, Melaney started to support agencies reporting to the |
|
|
Statewide Payroll/Personnel Reporting System and was able to |
|
|
document functional specifications for both systems; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, Due to Melaney's functional and technical |
|
|
expertise in the statewide payroll systems, she was called upon |
|
|
throughout her career in the Fiscal Management division to |
|
|
participate on projects to implement new statewide systems; she |
|
|
continued to take on challenging projects as an analyst, |
|
|
coordinator, and trainer, and she was of invaluable assistance in |
|
|
the implementation of Project One, a statewide Enterprise |
|
|
Resource Planning solution for state agencies; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, In September of 2013, Melaney accepted a promotion |
|
|
to Systems Analyst V as Team Lead of the Statewide Human Resources |
|
|
and Payroll Assistance Section, where she has served as the go-to |
|
|
person for her team, customers, and management; and |
| |
|
|
WHEREAS, In all of her assignments, Melaney has |
|
|
distinguished herself as an exemplary employee and colleague; |
|
|
her smile lights up a room, and her positive can-do attitude and |
|
|
dedication to providing exceptional customer service have |
|
|
contributed to her great success in each role she has held in |
|
|
state government; Melaney will be missed tremendously by all who |
|
|
have worked with her over the course of her career; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend Melaney Goebel on her many years of |
|
|
valuable service to the state and extend to her congratulations |
|
|
and best wishes as she retires from her position in the Office of |
|
|
the Comptroller of Public Accounts; and, be it further |
| |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
her as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. |
