County Chief Executive and Size of the Board of Supervisors


Book Description

Two amendments to the County Charter were proposed by the Board that involve the size of the Board and the creation of an elected County Chief Executive. The Commission recommended in this report that the position of chief executive be established through an amendment to the County Charter. The Commission was divided on its recommendations concerning the manner of appointments by popular election, or by Board appointment. The report recommends that both means of appointment be placed on the ballot as two separate propositions for a final decision by the voters.
