The larger California missions employed a Mayor Domo (administrator), a position usually filled by a non-priest. Following the 1833 secularization of the missions, mayor domo became a more powerful position, as administrators were appointed by the governor to oversee distribution of former mission lands and other property. Josef Bolcoff became the first mayor domo of Mission Santa Cruz in 1834.
