Can County Ordinance give this appointment authority to an Adm. Cord.?

[bguy49]

Can County Ordinance give this appointment authority to an
Administrative Coordinator? I always thought that State law
superseded County Ordinance?




WI ss 46.82

(5) AGING UNIT DIRECTOR; APPOINTMENT. A full−time aging
unit director shall be appointed on the basis of recognized and
demonstrated interest in and knowledge of problems of older individuals,
with due regard to training, experience, executive and
administrative ability and general qualification and fitness for the
performance of his or her duties, by one of the following:
(a) 1. For an aging unit that is described in sub. (1) (a) 1.,
except as provided in subd. 2., a county or tribal commission on
aging shall make the appointment, subject to the approval of and
to the personnel policies and procedures established by each
county board of supervisors or the tribal governing body that participated
in the appointment of the county or tribal commission on
aging.

I think you're confusing the premise of supremacy and the ability to delegate one's powers to others.
Besides, what you've posted appears to be about a regulatory or service agency.
Effectively, those creatures are very autonomous.
They can do pretty much what they wish.
Suggestion: take up your issues with the elected or appointed officials that oversee the agency.
Good luck.
