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.
As required by the County Ordinance Code, the status of these standby officer appointments
will be reviewed annually to determine if any changes in appointees is necessary.
