Attachment 8: List of Creative Works

“Healthy Communities CD.” I headed the multi-disciplinary effort (OCES RD and FCS) to produce a compact disk describing infrastructure, economic development, and human capital programs being offered by the OCES healthy communities team. The CD was used for in-service training (Fall 2003) and also provided to all OCES field offices. It also a feature at the May 2004 Southern Community Development Educators conference. Updated with new material and used in Dec. 2005 in-service.

Development of a user friendly database interface that will allow county officials, extension educators, interested citizens, and state law makers ease of access to a wide range of county financial information. It will also provide more efficient production of a number of popular reports. Completed in early 2004.

Created “budget template” software for use by individual Oklahoma counties to create “taxpayer friendly” reports describing the local county’s finances, duties of the county government officers, and interaction of taxpayers with county officials. This was created during calendar year 2001 and was distributed to counties in March 2002.

In conjunction with creation of the Cash Flow Management short-course for county officers, I created a computerized cash flow management game using Microsoft Excel that provides hands-on learning plus competition.

Developed a new, one day, course requested by several county officer groups, “Introducing Windows, MS Word, and MS Excel,” August 2000.

19


Developed and taught the pilot (first) distance education course for county officers in Oklahoma. This “test” program was presented March 18-19, 1999 to a live audience and three remote audiences via two-way distance education technologies. All eight elected county officers were represented at the sights.

Developed a spreadsheet program during 1998 and 1999 that can serve as both a teaching tool and public policy tool for county commissioners regarding county road funding. The spreadsheet contains the several formulas used to allocate designated state taxes and fees to individual counties for county roads. It also contains fields in which the user can change the parameters and see the changes in funding that result. Thus, individual commissioners, the commissioners association and others can quickly see the direct effects of proposed policy (legislative) changes in funding formulas.

County Treasurers’ Voluntary Certification Program. Motivated by the mandatory certification program of county assessors and an awareness of the need for greater professionalism, county treasurers, among others, asked Cooperative Extension and the Center for Local Government Technology to create a set of courses to constitute a certification program. With help from our CLGT partners, I designed (and now oversee) the seven course program that has been adopted by the County Treasurers’ Association of Oklahoma.

Computer Workshop and Software. Seeing the need for and benefit of computer spreadsheets for county treasurers and county clerks, I designed and conducted workshops titled, “Introduction to Computers and Spreadsheets.” Conducted in an Ag Hall computer lab, the workshops are hands-on and practical. After covering introductory material for the novice, prepared spreadsheet files are introduced that the clerk or treasurer can take back to their office and put to use immediately. For example, treasurers learn to use a spreadsheet to allocate interest earnings among accounts and clerks learn to allocate sales tax receipts to ear-marked accounts per law.
