The hunt for the County of Orange’s next CEO continues; the OC Board of Supervisors discussed the position at Tuesday’s board meeting.
The agenda item “public employee appointment” was scheduled to be discussed during closed session, but no decision was reported after the meeting.
Frank Kim, who has been Orange County’s CEO since 2015, announced his plans to retire by July 11 in a letter to the Board of Supervisors last November. He’s served the county in various roles for nearly 29 years.
A new CEO would lead the management of the county’s $9.3 billion budget and the 18,000 employees who keep the various department running.
Just last year, Kim agreed to extend his contract with the county through May 2025, but then he said in November as he approached age 55 he wanted to focus on other aspects of life outside of his career.
The Board of Supervisors launched a nationwide search in January and established a committee made up of supervisors Don Wagner and Katrina Foley.
