In a special meeting on Tuesday, San Mateo supervisors voted 3-2 to make a long-term appointment for the next sheriff, rather than hold a special election.
This comes two weeks after the board unanimously removed Corpus from office and on the same day that a judge rejected Corpus’s appeal to be reinstated.
The decision to make a long-term appointment was supported by the sheriff's unions.
The Board has until November 13th to vet and interview candidates and make the appointment.
