Swot Analysis for Mcg Government
Mecklenburg County and the municipalities within the County (Charlotte, Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Matthews, Mint Hill and Pineville) operate with a Council (a body serving in an administrative capacity), Commission (a special group of people delegated to consider some matter) and Manager (someone who allocates resources and expenses) type of administration.
Mecklenburg County Government’s central focus is on community health and safety, running an effective and efficient government, social, education, environment, economic opportunities, and growth management. Run by a nine-member board of electors, their primary responsibility is to adopt an annual budget, set the current property tax rate, create priorities to address health, welfare, education and all of the other County’s needs and to work together for the greater good of the society.
The Office of The Tax Collector (the department I worked in) is responsible for ensuring MCG operates in a successful and proficient manner. The OTC’s focus and responsibility is for the collection of Ad Valorem Taxes, Mecklenburg County’s prime income source. These are taxes on real property (land and buildings) motor vehicles, boats, trailers, and other personal property including business taxes (income-producing personal property, such as the equipment inside of a restaurant). Because MC’s budget relies on a big portion of the anticipated revenue from taxes, it is imperative the OTC is successful in its collections attempts.
MCG services are funded through the payments of property taxes, local sales taxes, fees and other resources. Property taxes are the largest source of revenue for MCG.
Strengths:
An advantage for working for the county would be job security/stability. In today’s weak economy, job security is becoming more significant than compensation and benefits. Job stability is an important attribute of the employer-employee relationship. Most government positions have a high level of job
