Supervisors choose next social services chief
Philip L. Browning, chief of the county’s child support services department, will replace the retiring head of county social services in April, the Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday.
Browning will take over for retiring department chief Bryce Yokomizo, with an annual salary of $195,000, effective April 1.
The department provides low-income county residents with financial help, affordable health insurance and food benefits, and in-home services for the elderly and disabled.
Browning previously held social service posts for the state of Alabama and the District of Columbia. He has run county child support services since 2001.
