He didn't have a bachelor's degree and, therefore, lacked the county's own minimum qualifications for the CAO job. The code required at least a bachelor's degree in public administration, business or a related field.

Supervisors voted 4-1 on Tuesday to approve changes to the code that would lower the education requirements for the county’s top administrative position. Supervisor Robert Rivas had the dissenting vote.
