Legislator Manny Abarca introduces two resolutions on interim executive authority amid recall

Legislator Manny Abarca introduced two resolutions Sept. 30 proposing rules for county governance if the duly elected county executive is recalled.

Resolution 22049 would set parameters for how the legislature would select an interim county executive; resolution 22050 would set parameters to temporarily limit executive authority "to preserve from irreparable harm" by a potentially recalled executive. Abarca introduced both measures for the record and the chair assigned 22049 to the Rules Committee and 22050 to the legislature as a whole.

There was no committee debate or vote on the resolutions at the Sept. 30 meeting. The chair's assignments place 22049 and 22050 into the committee process where they will receive further review and possible public hearings.

The actions recorded were introduction and referral to committee; no formal directives to staff or interim measures were adopted at the meeting.
