Personnel board approves Elections deputy director position amid succession planning discussion
Summary
Board approved creation and classification of an Elections deputy director (CODA 31) to provide succession planning and coordination across elections bureaus; one member recorded a nay.
Vice Chair Brutus moved to classify a newly created Elections deputy director position at CODA 31 (35 hours/week) and the board discussed the need for succession planning in the newly unified Elections department. Ms. O'Malley said the deputy role would add in-house expertise "to continue throughout the department" after consolidating elections, voting machines, and voter registration functions.
One member registered a formal objection to listing hours for salaried employees but supported the need for the role; the motion was approved following a voice vote with one recorded nay. The discussion emphasized continuity and backup for the Elections Director rather than immediate staffing changes.
