When there is an omission by the board of supervisors to consolidate the duties of offices as authorized in this chapter and to advertise the ordinance of consolidation, each office not so consolidated shall be filled in the manner provided by law.
The legislature occasionally skips outline levels.
For example:
(3) A person may apply [...]
(4)(a) A person petitioning for relief [...]
In this example, (3), (4),
and (4)(a) are all outline levels, but
(4) was
omitted by its authors. It's only implied. This presents an
interesting challenge when laying out the text. We've
decided to display a blank section with this note, in order
to aide readability.
