2005 California Education Code Sections 71090-71094 Article 3. Office of Chancellor

71090.  (a) The board shall appoint a chief executive officer, to be
known as the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, and
fix his or her compensation.
   (b) The chancellor shall execute the duties and responsibilities
as may be delegated to him or her by the board.  Whenever in this
code a power is vested in the board, the board, by a majority vote,
may adopt a rule delegating that power  to the chancellor or any
officer, employee, or committee as the board may designate.  The rule
shall prescribe the limits of the delegation.
71090.5.  In addition to the position authorized by subdivision (e)
of Section 4 of Article VII of the California Constitution, the
Governor, with the recommendation of the board of governors, shall
appoint up to six deputy and vice chancellors, who shall be exempt
from state civil service.   The appointments shall not exceed an
aggregate total of six, for both the positions of deputy and vice
chancellor.
71092.  (a) The board of governors shall employ and fix the
compensation, in accordance with law, of assistants, clerical, and
other employees as it deems necessary for the effective conduct of
the work of the board and the chancellor's office.
   (b) Notwithstanding Section 19849.5 of the Government Code, the
Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges shall
designate the headquarters for each of its employees, except as
provided in Section 71004.
71093.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law:
   (a) The board of governors may authorize the chancellor to
suspend, for a period of up to one year, the authority of the Board
of Trustees of the Compton Community College District, or of any of
the members of that board, to exercise any powers or responsibilities
or to take any official actions with respect to the management of
the district, including any of the district's assets, contracts,
expenditures, facilities, funds, personnel, or property. With the
prior approval of the board of governors, the chancellor may renew a
suspension under this section as many times, and as often, as he or
she finds it necessary during the period of operation of this
section.
   (b) A suspension authorized by this section becomes effective
immediately upon the delivery of a document to the administrative
offices of the Compton Community College District that sets forth the
finding of the chancellor that a suspension pursuant to this section
is necessary for the establishment of fiscal integrity and security
in that district.
   (c) If and when the chancellor suspends the authority of the Board
of Trustees of the Compton Community College District or any of its
members pursuant to this section, the chancellor may appoint a
special trustee as provided in paragraph (3) of subdivision (c) of
Section 84040, at district expense, to manage the district. The
chancellor is authorized to assume, and delegate to the special
trustee, those powers and duties of the Board of Trustees of the
Compton Community College District that the chancellor determines,
with the approval of the board of governors, are necessary for the
management of that district. The Board of Trustees of the Compton
Community College District may not exercise any of the duties or
powers assumed by the chancellor under this section. The chancellor
may appoint as a special trustee under this section a person who has
served in a similar capacity prior to the enactment of the act that
adds this section. A special trustee appointed under this section
shall serve at the pleasure of the chancellor.
   (d) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2008, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2008, deletes or extends
that date.
71094.  The chancellor's office may contract with community college
districts for the performance of administrative services necessary to
implement Section 12419.7 of the Government Code.  The chancellor's
office may charge the districts for the costs of those administrative
services.
