On April 17, 2018, your Board appointed Supervisor Brian Pacheco to serve on the Countywide Oversight Board. Since then, Supervisor Pacheco has been an active member of the Countywide Oversight Board.
On December 23, 2024, the staff of the Countywide Oversight Board, served by the Auditor-Controller/Treasurer-Tax Collector, received written notice from Supervisor Brian Pacheco of his resignation from the Countywide Oversight Board.
Pursuant to Countywide Oversight Board Bylaw Sections 7 and 8, attached herein, any Countywide Oversight Board member may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Clerk of the Board, served by the Auditor-Controller/Treasurer-Tax Collector, and to the Countywide Oversight Board Chairperson. Any such resignation will take effect upon receipt or on the date specified in the notice. The acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. In the event of a vacancy, the appointing entity may select a member to fill the vacancy as soon as reasonably practicable.
Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34179, subdivision (j), your Board, one of the appointing entities, has the authority to appoint a member to serve on the Countywide Oversight Board. The appointee may be a Board member, or another person selected by your Board.
