The Orange County Board of Supervisors reported several actions taken in closed session, including the unanimous appointment of attorney Stella Lim as interim executive director of the Office of Independent Review, the board announced.
According to the chair, “the board unanimously appointed attorney Stella Lim to serve as the interim executive director of the Office of Independent Review.” The board also directed human resources to conduct an executive search, and the chair said the board will review a proposed employment contract for Lim at a future meeting.
The board also authorized filing an appeal in the matter of Jeremy Holloway v. County of Orange. The chair described that case as involving the response of deputy sheriffs to a domestic violence call at the O'Neil Campground and said the board unanimously authorized the filing of an appeal in that matter.
Separately, the chair reported that in a case listed in the closed-session items as “d r v. County of Orange,” described in the transcript as involving alleged (redacted) abuse by a foster parent, the board unanimously directed risk management and outside counsel Collins and Collins to take the case to trial.
