The vote was 4-1, with Supervisor Kathryn Barger opposing the idea. She has said allowing the board to remove a sheriff would be “diluting the voice of the voters.”
Before any finding, the board would have to provide a sheriff with “a written statement of alleged grounds for removal” and provide a “reasonable opportunity to be heard regarding any explanation or defense.”Villanueva has blasted the motion. In a letter to supervisors, he wrote that:
Since then, he has launched criminal investigations into watchdogs of the department, including the inspector general, relaxed discipline of deputies, and faced allegations that he covered up awith the Civilian Oversight Commission, which is investigating deputy gangs. He has called it a “political witch-hunt” and defied a subpoena to testify.People who spoke during public comment offered different views of the proposed charter amendment.
“This is not about one person but about creating appropriate checks and balances and ensuring that our community has confidence in our law enforcement,” said Judy Mark of Disability Voices United. Mark, who said she teaches police about how to interact with people with disabilities, said it was one step toward changing the culture of the sheriff’s department.
