In general
(a) There is a supervisor for each county.
Appointment procedure
(b)(1) In this subsection and subsection (c) of this section, “appropriate county official” means the Mayor of Baltimore City, the county commissioners or county council of each county, or, if the county charter provides for a county executive, the county executive with the approval of the county council.
(2) Each supervisor:
(i) shall be appointed by the Director; and
(ii) shall be in the management service of the State Personnel Management System.
(3) The Director shall appoint each supervisor from a list of five qualified individuals submitted to the Director by the appropriate county official. The Director shall give the appropriate county official written notice that a vacancy exists in that county. Unless the Director extends the period on written request from the appropriate county official, the appropriate county official shall submit its list of nominees to the Director on or before 60 days from the date the Director notifies the official of the vacancy.
