County road commissioner: Counties of Madera and Tehama.
- Authorizes Madera and Tehama counties to transfer road commissioner duties to their public works directors.
- Allows counties to abolish the road commissioner position due to difficulties finding qualified candidates.
- Requires civil engineering tasks to be performed by licensed engineers under the public works director.
- Aligns these two counties with existing provisions that apply to four other California counties.
Assembly Member Tangipa's proposal to restructure road administration in Madera and Tehama counties would authorize their boards of supervisors to transfer county road commissioner duties to their respective directors of public works. The measure extends administrative flexibility already available to Colusa, Glenn, Merced, and Siskiyou counties.
Under the proposed changes, if either county eliminates its road commissioner position, the public works director would assume those responsibilities without requiring additional permits or licenses. Any civil engineering functions previously performed by the road commissioner would need to be carried out by a registered civil engineer operating under the director's authority. The bill's findings cite difficulties in recruiting qualified road commissioner candidates as the primary rationale for these county-specific provisions.
