County Manager Responsibilities
Currently, the duties and responsibilities of the County Manager are specified in Section 405 of the County Charter. A vote in favor of the question amends the duties and responsibilities of the County Manager, as follows: clarifying when certain vacancies may be filled by the County Manager and when certain studies and investigations are performed by the County Manager; requiring the County Manager to attend all County Council meetings; providing for the appointment and function of an Assistant County Manager; clarifying that the County Manager is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the County government; and establishing a process for the County Council when the County Manager position becomes vacant. A vote against the question will keep the duties and responsibilities of the County Manager as currently specified in the County Charter.
