The board approved a draft ordinance implementing a County Executive Officer management model, reflecting earlier direction from the board and the CAO’s report; the motion passed 4‑0.

County counsel presented a draft ordinance reflecting the board’s earlier direction to move from a County Administrative Officer management model to a County Executive Officer model. Counsel said the draft implements changes agreed at a prior evaluation and clarifies the CEO’s role in relation to separately elected officials.

A supervisor moved to approve the draft ordinance; the motion was seconded and, on roll call, passed with four affirmative votes. The board directed staff to finalize the ordinance language consistent with the board’s prior direction.
