At their meeting this week, at the request of Supervisor Bruno Sabatier, the Lake County Board of Supervisors discussed the idea of returning the Human Resources Department to an independent department after being under the control of the county Administrators office. A concern raised was that interim County Administrator Susan Parker might be in conflict overseeing Human Resources while recruiting for the new County Administrator because Parker has said she will be actively pursuing the position. While there wasn’t consensus to pursue any changes, the board did agree to have staff pursue the suggestion of rules to guarantee the integrity of the county administrative officer’s recruitment.
