July 1, 2016 Ms. Durand issues a NEWS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE.
“San Mateo County Statements on Sheriff Munks’ Retirement” was the title.
At the bottom of page Please note: “The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors will discuss next steps to fill the remaining two years of Munks’ term at its regular July 12, 2016 meeting.
July 5, 2016 2:07 PM Ms. Durand emails Almanac reporter Dave Boyce and again states, “The Board of Supervisors will discuss at its July 12, 2016 how it wants to proceed”
July 5, 2016 Internal -Departmental Correspondence from County Manager’s Office and County Counsel, that’s John Maltbie and John Beiers to Honorable Board of Supervisors.
Subject : Vacancy in the Office of Sheriff
Recommendation: Make appointment or call an election. That is a Huge difference from what Michelle Durand was telling the 750,000 plus residents of San Mateo County, which was to discuss which PROCESS to choose either appointment or election process.
John Maltbie is Michelle Durand’s boss. Ms. Durand never made a correction to her July 1, 2016 Press Release but somebody deleted it from the County’s website. She also never e-mailed the reporter from the Almanac about this Huge change to mislead the public. The Sheriff is the most important Office in the County it should be voted on by the People.
Another example of filling a vacancy in SMC November 10, 2008
Inter-Departmental Correspondence from County Counsel to Hon. Board of Supervisors.
Subject : Process to Fill Vacancy On Board of Supervisors
Recommendation: Approve a process to fill the vacancy caused by Supervisor Hill’s election to the State Legislature.
Note: The 2008 Correspondence to the BOS did not include the County Manager/Clerk to the Supervisors. It clearly stated PROCESS
This should this be investigated by the State of California Attorney General’s Office ?
