From Charlie Potts, Administrative Services Director

Welcome to the Administrative Services Department! The director of the Administrative Services department, aided by the deputy director, manages four divisions: Finance, Purchasing, Personnel and Business License. The department also serves as the contract liaison for town wide fleet maintenance, technology services and oversees risk management functions.

The Finance Division manages payroll, accounts payable, and funds management. The Purchasing Division establishes and maintains purchasing procedures for all departments of the Town, executes and coordinates all purchases of $350 or more, and prepares and executes all formal bid packages over $25,000. The Personnel Division monitors all personnel activities; administers benefits; maintains files, advertises and accepts applications for job openings; and supervises the Mount Pleasant Volunteers Program.

Finally, the Business License Division issues business licenses to persons or entities doing business in Mount Pleasant. The business license fee is based upon gross income and the type of business as determined by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
