SUBJECT: Appointment of the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
That the full Board consider the recommendations of the County Administrator and
Grand Jury, along with concerns expressed by the County Clerk and the County
Administrator' s responses thereto; there is no recommendation from the Internal
Operations Committee.
BACKGROUND:
On March 13, 1984, the Board of Supervisors referred to our Committee the recommenda-
tion of the County Administrator that the Board introduce an ordinance which would
authorize the Board of Supervisors to appoint the Clerk of the Board rather than
having the County Clerk serve ex-officio as Clerk of the Board.
Our Committee has met with the County Administrator and County Clerk on this matter.
The County Clerk has shared several concerns with us. His office provides a variety
of services to the Clerk of the Board which the Clerk of the Board's budget is
not charged for. He questions how these services will be provided if someone else
is Clerk of the Board. In addition, the County Clerk notes concerns expressed by
County Counsel that the functions of the Clerk of the Board and County Administrator
are considerably different and should not necessarily be combined.
Our Committee expresses some sympathy with the concerns of the ,County Clerk. As..
�...a,,result, we have asked the County Administrator to respond to each of; the Cl:erk's
concerns directly to the Board of Supervisors so that the full Board can ;`determ�,ne;: �
whether it wishes to appoint--the Clerk of the Board or whether it4 shes-tcr'Neave
the County Clerk serving ex-officio as Clerk of the Board.
