Jay Wilverding, San Joaquin County's former auditor-controller, was tapped by the Board of Supervisors last month to permanently step into the role of county administrator. The eight-year county veteran sat at the dais for the first time Tuesday during the board's regularly scheduled meeting. Wilverding officially started in his new position March 29. "Welcome on board," Chair Tom Patti said after the board voted 3-2 at its March 23 meeting to approve Wilverding's four-year contract. Wilverding said he was humbled by the opportunity and recognized his appointment will impact the county for years to come. "I don't take that responsibility lightly," Wilverding said. "I do want it to be a positive impact, and I promise everyone that I will do my best to make that happen."
