iePolitics: Inquiring Minds Want to Know
With the pending arrival of newly hired San Bernardino County Administrative Officer Greg Devereaux, we are pondering some points:
- Will Assistant County Administrative Officer Dean Arabatzis now be required to work 40 hours a week at the County Government Center? Five days a week, every week?
- Will the Fifth Floor continue to be a ghost town on both sides of the isle on Fridays?
- Will CAO Devereaux also work five days a week?
- Will County Counsel Ruth Stringer and her deputy county counsels be allowed to continue to accrue millions in leave balances?
- What will replace our beloved “Service First”?
- Will Chicken Man show up to board meetings in a chicken suit?
- Will Board of Supervisors staff follow Devereaux’s lead and start working five days a week, 40 hours a week?
- Will department heads caught lying and cheating have consequences similar to line staff?
- Will David Wert be required to work 40 hours a week, five days a week, every week?
- Will department heads who go on vacation be required to green-slip their time?
- Will non-elected department heads be allowed to continue bonking their line staff?
- Will anything be done about sexual harassment and racial discrimination in the work place?
- Will anything of significance ever get accomplished by the Fifth Floor in a timely manner?
