DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On January 23, 2024, the Board approved the reassignment of the Airports program to the Chief Administrative Office, to be effective July 1, 2024 (Legistar Item 23-2157). In anticipation of this transition, it is necessary to re-assign the authority delegated to the Director of Planning and Building for temporary use agreements, airport ground leases, and County-owned hangar leases for use of the Placerville or Georgetown Airport, subject to approval by County Counsel.
In addition, Title 18 - Airports, Chapter 18.04- General Provisions, defines the Airports Director as the “officer or representative of the County having immediate charge of the airport to include the County Airports Director or any of his or her regularly appointed/designated deputies.” It is recommended that the Board take action to designate the Deputy Chief Administrative Officer overseeing Airports as the Airport Director.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could provide direction to amend the ordinance to assign delegation authority to another County officer or employee classification.
