1.0 Authority (Education Code §72413)
1.1 The Chancellor shall serve as the chief executive officer for Los Rios Community College District Board of Trustees. The administration of the Los Rios Community College District in all its aspects shall be delegated to the Chancellor who shall carry out the administrative responsibilities and functions in accordance with the policies adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees also delegates to the Chancellor the execution of all decisions made by the Board of Trustees concerning the internal operation of the District. In the unlikely event the Chancellor resigns without notice, becomes incapacitated, or is unable to discharge the powers and duties of the office, the Deputy Chancellor shall act in the place of the Chancellor until an Interim Chancellor is appointed by the Board of Trustees.
1.2 The board of Trustees is responsible for the recruitment and selection of the Chancellor. The Board of Trustees or designee shall establish the qualifications for the position and the timeline for the search. The Board of Trustees, in its discretion, shall implement the appropriate recruitment method and shall comply with all relevant provisions of the Education Code and Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations.
In this hiring process, the Board of Trustees shall solicit input on the recruitment and hiring process from representatives of the District's certificated, classified, managerial, confidential and student constituencies.
1.3 The Chancellor may delegate any powers and duties entrusted by the Board, including the administration of the colleges, but the Chancellor shall be specifically responsible to the Board for the execution of such delegated powers and duties.
1.4 Whenever a power is granted to, or a duty is imposed upon, any District employee by policy or regulation, the power may be exercised or the duty may be performed by a person authorized by the employee, unless a policy or regulation specifically provides otherwise.
1.5 The further delegation of functions to lower-level management positions is accomplished by job descriptions, subject to review by the Board of Trustees, delineating assigned duties, responsibilities and accountability.
1.5.1 The duties and responsibilities thus assigned are outlined as a guide to incumbents in these positions and do not, in any way, limit the accountability, responsibility or basic authority of the Chancellor for the administration of any part of the District's function.

In lieu thereof there shall be added a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid and unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.
