FISCAL IMPACT:
None to the County from this action.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to the California Emergency Services Act, Article 15, Preservation of Local Government, the governing
body of a political subdivision of the State is required to appoint three standby officers for each member of the
governing body. Accordingly, Section 42-4.004 of the County Ordinance Code requires the Board to make such
appointments.
A standby officer appointed by the Board is to serve in place of a regular Board member when the regular Board
member is unavailable during a state of war emergency, a state of emergency, or a local emergency. (Unavailable
means that the regular Board member has been killed, is missing, or is seriously injured as to be unable to attend
meetings and otherwise perform his/her duties.)
Appointment of the specified standby officers will assure a line of succession so that in the event of the unavailability
of one or more regular Board members during a state of war emergency, a state of emergency, or a local emergency,
the business of the Board of Supervisors may continue to be conducted with a full complement of Board members.
A standby officer shall serve until the regular officer becomes available or until the election or appointment of a new
regular officer.
As required by County Ordinance Code, the status of these standby officer appointments will be reviewed annually to
determine if any changes in appointees is necessary.
