SUBJECT:

Adopt ordinance relating to the appointment of certain County department heads by the County Administrative Officer and the CAO's hiring and supervisory authority, through the amendment of Chapters 3.01 and 3.03 of the San Benito County Code.
SBC FILE NUMBER: 160
ORDINANCE NO: 982
AGENDA SECTION:
CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
At the Board retreat, the Board was presented with discussion relating to having the CAO appoint and supervise the majority of County Department Heads. A change in the County's ordinance has been prepared to adopt this change. This ordinance would not apply to department heads appointed under specific provisions of California law, e.g. Agricultural Commissioner, County Counsel, etc. This would allow supervision to occur directly by the CAO, in an more efficient and direct manner.
Introduction of this ordinance occurred on 5/7/19.
