Amador County – The Amador County Board of Supervisors announced Tuesday that they will be soliciting public comments on the planned reorganization of the Land Use and Public Works agencies in a workshop planned for June 10. Both Agencies will be reorganized into a single Community Development Agency to include Building, Code Enforcement, Environmental Health, Planning, Public Works, and Waste Management functions. This agency restructuring is part of a larger reorganization plan to reduce 11 existing departments “who have overlapping or shared functions” into 5 units: Administration, Community Development, Health & Human Services, General Services Administration and Public Services. All 5 units fall under the supervision of the County Administrative Officer, who in turn reports to the Board of Supervisors. “This is no longer business as usual; things have changed and we have to change with them,” said CAO Terri Daly shortly before the board approved the plan last month. She said “the reorganization is the result of the financial situation of the County which has not changed dramatically since the mid-year budget update” presented in March. Daly announced her resignation last week in order to take another position, and the County is currently seeking applicants to fill her spot. The upcoming workshop will seek feedback specific to the reorganization of the Land Use and Public Works agencies, including questions on what existing services or processes within the several departments should be retained, what suggestions might make service or processes quicker and less costly, and what services customers feel are most valuable. The County says “written responses in lieu of or in addition to workshop participation are also welcome,” but reminds the public to “be aware that early input will provide the most benefit in the process.” Comments may be submitted in person at the public workshop, e-mailed to This email address is being protected from spambots.
