LAFCO approves executive officer job description, recruitment timeline and panel process
Summary
The commission approved amendments to the executive officer job description (adding support for special tax districts and responsibility for Form 700 filings) and authorized a recruitment schedule with a three-member interview panel and a May 19 application deadline.
The Local Agency Formation Commission approved the job description and recruitment process for its executive officer vacancy at the March 21, 2025 meeting.
Madam Clerk presented a proposed job description and sought two amendments: (1) explicit responsibility to support and implement special tax districts, and (2) an explicit reference that the executive officer will handle Form 700 (statements of economic interest) filings. Commissioners voted to approve those amendments and then approved the amended job description and recruitment schedule.
Key recruitment elements approved:
- Application period: open following approval, with a target closing date of May 19, 2025. - Interview panel: a three-member panel was approved (past panels have included one LAFCO member, a clerk's office representative and an outside member); LAFCO members may serve as one panel member but not a majority. - Timeline: panel interviews anticipated late May (May 27–30 window) and a recommendation to the full commission planned for the July 18, 2025 meeting.
Vote details: Commissioners approved the amendments and the recruitment process on separate roll-call votes; each roll call recorded Vice Chair Williams, Commissioner Severe and Chair Fielder voting aye (three ayes).
The commission did not fill the position at the meeting; staff will post the amended job description and run the recruitment according to the approved timeline.
