Heads begin to roll at County: Human Resources Manager resigns

June 19, 2008

The whiff of a new regime is wafting above Martinez. Contra Costa County Human Resource Manager, Lori Gentles, is the first department head to submit her resignation to the Board of Supervisors (BOS) since the announcement that David Twa, from Ramsey County, Minnesota, will replace the current CAO, John Cullen, when he retires this Fall. In her memo posted nearby, “Jiggles” states her departure date as July 22.

In addition to HR duties, Gentles has been closely involved in negotiating contracts with various public employee unions. In the memo Gentiles states she will be taking a position with San Francisco State University as the Associate Vice President of Human Resources.

Sources close to the BOS state under condition of anonymity, that Gentles departure foreshadows the arrival of David Twa, who will be building his own executive team in the CAO as well evaluate other current department heads.
