RECOMMENDED
ACTION(S):
Appoint David Sanchez as the Orange
County Public Guardian in accordance with Government Code, Section 27430
et.seq., effective upon Board’s approval.
SUMMARY:
Appointment of David Sanchez as the
Orange County Public Guardian who will provide leadership of the Public
Guardian Office to provide conservatorship services to Orange County residents.
BACKGROUND
INFORMATION:
The Public Guardian is responsible
for the care of individuals who are no longer able to make decisions or care
for themselves. Establishing a public guardian or a conservatorship is a legal
process where a third party (conservator) is given the legal authority to
manage the financial affairs and/or the care of another individual
(conservatee). The Public Guardian is deemed as the "conservator of last
resort," meaning that all other viable alternatives need to be considered
before the Public Guardian is granted the Conservatorship of an individual.
On February 4, 2014, the Board
approved Ordinance 14-001 Option 2 consolidation which resulted in the Public
Guardian’s Office being moved within the Health Care Agency’s (HCA)
organizational structure.

The Public Guardian vacated the position

HCA Human Resource Services completed a recruitment for the Public Guardian,
Business Manager Senior position beginning November 14, 2023, and ending
February 27, 2024. The recruitment was open for 105 days and a total of 47
applications were received. Two candidates were interviewed by a Selection
Interview panel. The panel recommended David Sanchez as the most qualified
person to fill this position. His starting salary will be $65.34 per hour.
Mr. Sanchez possesses an excellent
background to fill the position of Public Guardian. He has been with the County
of Orange Office of the Public Guardian for six years and has experience
working as a Deputy Public Guardian II, Senior Deputy Public Guardian, and
Supervising Deputy Public Guardian and is currently the Interim Public
Guardian.
The Health Care Agency recommends that the
Board appoint David Sanchez as the Orange County Public Guardian as referenced
in the Recommended Action.
