Ventura County board clerk named after national search

A new chief deputy clerk of the Ventura County Board of Supervisors has been appointed after a national search.

Rosa Gonzalez, 40, of Oxnard, will fill the position immediately, county officials announced this week.

She succeeds Brian Palmer, who was promoted to a new position in the information technology department for the county. 

Gonzalez was promoted from her position as assistant chief deputy. She has worked in the clerk’s office for more than 10 years.

Among other duties Gonzalez is responsible for ensuring that a full record of the proceedings of the Board of Supervisors is kept for regular and special meetings. She will continue to serve as a community liaison in the office of County Executive Officer Mike Powers.
