Precinct 1 Commissioner Rodney Ellis and Precinct 4 Commissioner Lesley Briones expressed immediate opposition to the idea, sharing concerns of the day-to-day workload and flow of county needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’re five CEOs, and a county administrator, the way I see it, is a COO. We pass the policy, and you implement it,\u201d Briones said.<\/p>\n
Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey, who was originally against the office\u2019s creation, voiced concerns that suddenly removing the position and office may not be the best move.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m for everything that the county administrator does except committee meetings, and I think she’s made progress even on committee meetings,\u201d Ramsey said. \u201cSo I’ll not be supporting this specific [motion], although I think there are some things that would help make the job more effective.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Precinct 1 Commissioner Rodney Ellis and Precinct 4 Commissioner Lesley Briones expressed immediate opposition to the idea, sharing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":368931,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[4951,130687,2429,66874,405,56,58,57,27572,48803],"class_list":["post-368930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-adrian-garcia","tag-county-administrator","tag-department","tag-erica-lee-carter","tag-harris-county","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news","tag-lesley-briones","tag-tom-ramsey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=368930"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368930\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/368931"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=368930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=368930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=368930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
