Maucieri obtains new office

With the appointment of Dan Maucieri as the Van Zandt County Human Resources Director, commissioners were faced with the problem of finding room in the already packed courthouse for another office.  The suggestion of adding a human resources director to take some of the load off of the county treasurer’s office came from an outside audit.

Commissioner Virgil Melton Jr. said that an office was needed for Maucieri, citing the need for “confidentiality,” as a major factor.

“We knew that we were not going to keep him in the treasurer’s office because of confidentiality reasons. We began looking for a place to create an office. After discussion with department heads and elected officials, we considered taking up a spot in the law library for the human resources department,” said Melton.

Melton said that the books in the law library were outdated and that most of the labor to construct the office would be completed by adult probationers.

“The books in the law library are outdated. All of the information is now on online. We estimated the cost of an office would be less than $1,000 because we are working with the adult probation department who are building the office. ”
