An extra item is expected to be added on Tuesday for the swearing-in of Michael Green, who Gov. Gavin Newsom appointed to fill the unexpired term of District 4 Supervisor Tina Scott, who stepped down in July.
In an untimed item, the board will consider a proposal to restructure the County Administrative Office to include positions specifically focused on economic development and housing, an idea which emerged from the board’s Sept. 22 budget hearing.
The memo from County Administrative Officer Susan Parker calls for using one-time funds from the American Rescue Plan Act to pay for the plan.
The proposal includes a new county administrative officer position focused on housing, a reassigned management analyst, the tax administrator and part-time deputy county administrative officer converted to a deputy county administrative officer on economic development that will be the result of converting and a new management analyst position.
The cost for the two new positions — excluding benefits — is estimated at $219,827, Parker reported.
