You have a wonderful executive secretary and his bishop may have given him that assignment. I have never lived where the executive secretary had that responsibility.
A member is responsible to make sure that he or she has a current temple recommend. No one else is responsible to see that it gets renewed.
It is nice when there are reminders. The executive secretary will set up interviews as needed. And you have an excellent system set up to do it. Leaders should concern themselves when a member does not renew a recommend, and I believe there is nothing wrong with asking a member if they wish to do so. It is easy to forget since renewal only comes around every two years.
But keeping a current temple recommend is the responsibility of the member.
