Human Resources Department recommending the Board approve and authorize the Chair to sign Resolution 096-2018 approving the new salary range (due to internal equity) for the classification of Registrar of Voters.

On October 10, 2017 (Legistar #17-0830), the Board approved the amendment to Ordinance No. 5065 Section 2.14 to include Registar of Voters as an appointed department head, pursuant to Section 404 of the County Charter, in order to set minimum qualifications for the position, including education and experience relative to Elections code, processes, and systems.
