  • Please join us in congratulating Scott Orr, the new director of Permit Sonoma!   Scott has spent nearly a decade with the department, starting as an entry-level planner and working his way up to assistant director. He has served as interim director since July, when longtime leader Tennis Wick announced his retirement.   With deep experience in local planning and permitting, Scott has played a key role in many of the major projects shaping Sonoma County’s future. He was recently elected vice president of the California County Planning Directors Association, a testament to the respect Scott has earned from peers throughout the state. His career journey reflects the County of Sonoma’s commitment to creating opportunities for growth and leadership in public service – proof that there’s truly room to move and room to grow at the County.   “Scott has the knowledge and the temperament to lead Permit Sonoma into the future,” said County Executive M. Christina Rivera. “He is deeply familiar with the nuances of the planning and permitting world, and he knows all of the major projects that Permit Sonoma has undertaken.”   Permit Sonoma guides how and where Sonoma County grows — reviewing, permitting and inspecting land development and construction projects in the unincorporated areas. It upholds standards that lead to responsible growth while protecting the people and natural resources of our county.

    Sonoma County is nestled in Northern California’s Wine Country, just 30 miles north of San Francisco, bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west, Marin County and San Pablo Bay to the south, and Solano, Napa, and Lake Counties to the east. It offers over 1,600 square miles of natural beauty, including the Russian River, redwood forests, rolling vineyards, and stunning coastline. Sonoma County is a general law county, governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors. The Board is fully committed to a mission and vision that values high quality services to support and enrich the community, strong leadership, engaged citizen participation, transparency and accuracy in information, and efficient and fiscally sustainable government. The Sonoma County Counsel’s Office is committed to providing the highest quality legal representation and advice, in a timely and responsive manner, to assist the County, its governing Board of Supervisors and other clients to promote the public interest, achieve programmatic and strategic goals and protect financial resources. The Sonoma County Counsel’s Office acts as the legal adviser to the Board of Supervisors, as well as the 29 departments and special districts throughout the County; including a Water Agency. Sonoma County is seeking a dynamic, forward-thinking leader to serve as its next County Counsel—a principled and strategic professional who combines deep public sector experience with a steadfast commitment to equity, innovation, and public service. This is an extraordinary opportunity for a creative, resilient, and collaborative legal mind to play a key role in shaping the future of Sonoma County governance. The ideal candidate is a seasoned municipal attorney with a strong generalist background in civil law, and the demonstrated ability to operate effectively in complex, high-stakes environments. Candidates should bring extensive experience managing or advising within a public law office—such as a County Counsel, City Attorney, Attorney General’s Office, or a private firm with a municipal law focus. Expertise in California local government law is essential, and experience in areas such as land use, (CEQA), labor and employment, civil litigation, and intergovernmental collaboration is strongly preferred. Senior-level attorneys from both public and private sectors are encouraged to apply. Out-of-state applicants are welcome, provided they have relevant California legal experience and are eligible for California bar licensure (required for this position). The annual salary range for the County Counsel position is $288,648 - $350,865; placement within this range is dependent on qualifications and experience. If you are interested in this outstanding opportunity, please visit our website at www.bobmurrayassoc.com to apply online.
