Memorandum
Date: September 9, 2021
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Carol J. Huchingson, County Administrative Officer
Subject: Consideration to appointment of Mary Darby to extra help CDD Director at a rate of $54.42 per hour for the period September 10, 2021 through October 3, 2021
Executive Summary:
On August 31, 2021, your Board announced the appointment of Mary Darby, as the next CDD Director who will start on a full-time basis on October 4, 2021.
In the interim, Ms. Darby has expressed a desire to participate in meetings with staff remotely via zoom while she is in the process of relocating here. Doing so would support her transition by enabling her to begin to get to know staff and to become informed regarding department priorities and concerns.
I am recommending your Board hire her on an hourly basis, in an extra help capacity at an hourly rate equivalent to step 3 on the CDD Director salary scale, until her permanent employment commences on October 4th. As an extra help employee, she could work on a part-time basis, not to exceed 25 hours per week. During the time of Ms. Darby’s extra help employment, I and my designee Assistant CAO Susan Parker will continue to serve as Interim CDD Director until Ms. Darby takes over on a full-time basis on October 4.
