| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
Clerk-Recorder/Registrar of Voters/Assessor Freddie Oakley has indicated her intention to retire from the Office of Yolo Clerk-Recorder/Registrar of Voters/Assessor (CRAE) as of December 31, 2015. Her current term continues until January 8, 2019 and the new term begins at 12 o’clock noon on January 8, 2019 (Government Code section 24200). Accordingly, Ms. Oakley’s retirement creates a vacancy in the Office of the CRAE that, under subsection (c)(1) of Government Code section 1770, must be addressed for the remaining 36 months of the existing term.
Under Government Code section 24105, when the Office of the CRAE is vacant, the duties of that office may be temporarily discharged by a chief deputy until the vacancy is filled in the manner provided by law (Government Code section 24105). Section 24105 does not make the chief deputy the Yolo County Clerk-Recorder/Registrar of Voters/Assessor when the Office becomes vacant; it merely gives the chief deputy the authority and duty as a chief deputy to perform the duties of the office while the office remains vacant. Presently, the Chief Deputy Clerk-Recorder/Assessor is Jeffrey Barry.
In filling the vacancy in the Office of the CRAE, the Government Code requires the Board of Supervisors to fill the vacancy by appointment (Government Code section 25304). No provision exists in the law for a special election to fill the vacated position. The appointee will hold office for the unexpired term (Government Code section 25304).
Staff recommends the following process to fill the vacancy:
1. Name an interim CRAE to temporarily discharge the duties of the Office until such time as the vacancy is absolved with appointment, and
2. Call a subcommittee to work with staff to consider recruitment processes and appointment procedures for the remainder of CRAE term, through January 8, 2019. |
