After notice to retire, Sierra County treasurer to begin recruitment process with board direction
Summary
County Treasurer Jenny notified the board of her intent to retire; the board directed staff to begin recruitment and succession planning, with Jenny offering flexibility on her departure to ensure continuity and training of a successor.
The Sierra County Board of Supervisors directed staff to begin recruitment to fill the county treasurer's position after Treasurer Jenny notified the board of her intent to retire.
Jenny told the board she has confidence in her staff but noted many are relatively new. She offered to be flexible on her retirement date to preserve the integrity and continuity of the office: "I can be flexible... What matters to me is the integrity of the office and keep it flowing," she said.
Board members discussed options including starting the recruitment early, hiring from within and backfilling internal positions, or recruiting from outside. One supervisor recommended modeling the process on recent successful recruitments for the county auditor and director of transportation and suggested starting the process now so a successor could overlap with the incumbent for training.
The board reached a consensus for Jenny to work with personnel (human resources) and the county clerk to move the recruitment forward. No final appointment was made at the meeting; the item was recorded as direction to staff rather than a formal action.
Speakers notably involved: Jenny (County Treasurer); Supervisor (speaker 1); Chair (speaker 4).
Ending: The board took no formal vote on an appointment but gave staff direction to begin recruitment and to manage transition timing to avoid service disruption.
