BACKGROUND:

The current County Clerk-Recorder, Stephen Weir, has announced that he will be retiring in late March, 2013 his term of office ends January 5, 2015.

The minimum qualification for the Clerk-Recorder position is to be a citizen, registered to vote, and a resident of the County.

The County Administrator is recommending that the Board of Supervisors adopt the following process:   

  • Using a County-only recruitment, the Board of Supervisors would review all applications in public and identify those applicants whom a majority of the Board wished to interview at a subsequent date. This would make the entire process public.
