a message from CEO Frank Kim

As the summer comes to a close with the upcoming Labor Day holiday, we have much to look forward to this fall. Children are heading back to school, cooler temperatures, football and of course the holidays. It’s also time for many County staff to start to consider open enrollment for their healthcare plans which start on October 13. For more information and to do your research on which plan is best for you and your loved ones, check out page nine for more information.

For County departments in and around the Civic Center, we’ve experienced quite a bit of construction these past few months. In fact, we’re getting closer to seeing the County Administration North (CAN) building become a reality as we celebrated the topping off of CAN a few weeks ago. Photos on this ceremony may be found on page six.

County staff are naturally civic-minded and this fall has several activities that staff would like to keep in mind. On September 14 we have an election that our Registrar of Voters is responsible for conducting. More information about this election may be found on page 16.

Every 10 years the County redraws the district lines for our County Supervisors. This process is called redistricting and it’s happening now. For more information about the County’s redistricting process, go to page eight.

Again, thank you to the County family for continuing to work so diligently and taking the proper precautions related to COVID-19. Each week we’re sending out weekly messaging regarding vaccination and testing schedules for County employees. Keep in mind this information is subject to change, but more information may be found on page X.
