SAN DIEGO -- As the effective time for Nathan Fletcher's resignation draws closer, San Diego County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Nora Vargas is set to hold a press conference later Monday on what happens next.
Fletcher announced his intention to step down from his elected office at the end of March, hours allegations of sexual misconduct from a former Metropolitan Transit System employee were made public in a lawsuit filing against him.
The Supervisor said that his resignation would be effective Monday at 5 p.m.
According to the county, staff from the District 4 office will remain as county employees, serving as a liaison for constituents, the county and other departments. They will become an extension of the county government, with a localized focus on District 4.
While there is no Supervisor in the seat, there will be no policies, votes or board letters coming from the office. When a new Supervisor is voted into office later this year, staffing could change.
Vargas will be holding her press conference at 4 p.m. to further discuss next steps for the county and the Board of Supervisors. FOX 5 will stream the conference when it begins.
