Back on 31 July ESO asked the Board of Supervisors who the Deputy County Administrator worked for and a number of related questions. We still don't have any answers from the Board or any of the Board Members. However, the Board, when hiring our Acting County Administrator, made it clear that the Deputy County Administrator worked directly for the County Administrator.
This will be reflected in the organizational chart (chain-of-command diagram) in the new Essex County Personnel Policy Manual which will soon be published. Presumably the Position Description for the Deputy County Administrator will also be amended to reflect the approved authority line.
There are still a number of questions that SHOULD be answered by the Board of Supervisors!
Open Government and transparency are better served when sunshine illuminates the staffing policies and procedures of the Essex County Government and ALL the questions are answered.
