Background: The Board of Supervisors Policy Manual consists of 87 policies covering 419 pages of policy direction for a wide assortment of county departments. Many of the policies have become obsolete due to the passage of time and changing circumstances.
The Chief Administrative Office has conducted a review of the Board Policy Manual and recommends deletion of 28 policies. A summary of this review and invitation to comment was also provided to county department heads on June 25. Attachment A summarizes the Chief Administrative Office's review and provides a brief justification for the deletion of each policy.
Following deletion of obsolete policies, the Chief Administrative Office plans to review the remaining policies for revision and consolidation.
Reason for Recommendation: Maintenance and review of the Board of Supervisors Policy Manual will help ensure that it provides relevant guidance to county departments accurately reflecting Board priorities.
Action to be taken following Board approval: Board Clerk and Information Technologies will amend the Board Policy Manual accordingly.
