FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact 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. The Board of Supervisors last
performed this annual review at its January 11, 2011 meeting (C.22). However, the 3rd
appointment for the District II Board Member had not been determined at that time.
Supervisor Gayle B. Uilkema has informed the CAO's office that her choice for the third
appointment is Lynn Fissell. Therefore, the District II standby officers will be as follows:
1. Al Dessayer
2. Stephen Dexter
3. Lynn Fissell
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without the appointment of the specified standby officers, there will be no line of
succession 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. Therefore, the business
of the Board of Supervisors may not continue to be conducted with a full complement of
Board members.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
