Bradley Hires S.D. Official for L.A. Post
Mayor Tom Bradley has hired Randall Bacon, the highest-ranking black official in San Diego County, to a $109,000-a-year post as head of Los Angeles’ Department of General Services.
Bacon, the No. 3 administrator for San Diego County, has also served as head of the San Diego County Department of Social Services.
In Los Angeles, Bacon will oversee the huge department that operates City Hall and acts as business agent for the city bureaucracy. In 1985, he was a finalist for the post of Los Angeles County chief administrative officer, one of the highest-profile professional jobs in local government in the nation, but was passed over by the Board of Supervisors.
