§ 101460 City Health Officer Appointment

• •Each city must have a health officer.
• •If the city already has a deal with the county to do the health officer’s work, it can skip appointing its own.
• •The rule applies to any city that hasn't made a county arrangement.

A city decides it doesn't want to hire its own health officer and instead lets the county health department handle inspections and disease control for the city.

Because the city made that arrangement, it doesn't need to appoint its own health officer; the county does the same work the city would have done.
