THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS is holding a “special meeting” today (Tuesday) with two agenda items. The first is to declare the flooding from a broken pipe at the Dora Street Public/Mental Health building (the old County Hospital) to be an emergency. The second item is a closed session item titled “Pursuant to Government Code Section 54957 – Public Employee Performance Evaluation – Air Pollution Control Officer.” Chris Brown who runs the County’s Air Quality Management District is the Air Pollution Control Officer. Brown is known to be out of favor with the Board ever since he slapped them with a $108k fine last year for a minor technical notification oversight during some remodeling/construction at a County building. The fine was referred to the EPA where it was reduced to nothing since the public was never at risk. But the County was out several thousand dollars in unnecessary legal fees it cost the County to appeal Brown’s wacky imposition of sanctions over nothing at all. Will the Supes give Brown more than a bad performance review?
