Answer

Are shared treasurer positions a practical solution for Mallorca municipalities?

Shared treasurer roles can help smaller municipalities reduce costs and access expertise they could not afford alone. The downside is that the person cannot be present in every town every day, so the arrangement is usually only a partial solution. It works best as a bridge until more permanent staffing is available.
