Measure F: Proposed County Charter Amendment To Address Unexpected Vacancies Of An Elected Department Head

This measure adds a subsection to the Shasta County Charter. The proposed addition would require that, whenever a vacancy occurs for a Shasta County Elected Department Head Position, the Board direct staff to fill the Vacancy by calling for an election, and consolidating it with the next regularly scheduled election, so long as that election occurs within 12 months of the vacancy. Should the next regularly scheduled election not occur within 12 months of the vacancy the Board shall, by a 4/5 vote, fill the Vacancy by appointment via open recruitment.
