Supervisors introduce ordinance renaming Department of Human Services to Health and Human Services Agency
Summary
The board waived first reading and introduced an ordinance to update county code to reflect the department name change to Health and Human Services Agency, reflecting earlier internal restructuring.
The Board of Supervisors on April 1 waived first reading and introduced an ordinance amending Chapter 2.38 of the Mariposa County Code to change the department name from —Department of Human Services— to —Health and Human Services Agency.— Clerk of the Board Danielle Bonti explained the update was part of a broader county reorganization and a code cleanup: the 2018 restructure had not been fully reflected in the code.
Supervisor Kaiser moved to waive the first reading and introduce the ordinance; Supervisor Toso seconded and the motion carried 4-0 with Supervisor Poe excused.
Why it matters: The change updates county code to match current departmental structure and titles, reducing administrative confusion and ensuring future references to the agency are consistent across county documents.
What happens next: Because the first reading was waived, the ordinance will return for formal adoption on the schedule required by county ordinance procedures.
