IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA) – The Imperial County Board of Supervisors has appointed a new County Counsel.
Geoffrey Holbrook was officially named County Counsel during Tuesday’s board meeting.
Board chairman John Hawk says Holbrook has worked with the county for nearly 14 years and understands the county’s legal needs.
He also says the county will save money by keeping legal work in-house instead of hiring outside attorneys.
“He does have extra duty we will advise on EEOC that’s any other he will advise on…so that is an extra duty that he has, that’s like a sexual harassment or anything like that, he is going to have that person in his office so he will have extra duty,” said Hawk.
The county counsel is set to begin his new role next month.
