DISCUSSION:
On August 4, 2020, your Board conducted the first hearing to amend the County of Fresno Ordinance Code, Section 3.08.010. This amendment will address the operational needs of the Administrative Office by adding a Chief Operating Officer to the current list of unclassified service classifications in the Ordinance Code. A Chief Operating Officer reports to the County Administrative Officer, is the second-highest ranking executive position in the County, and is responsible for the management, direction, and coordination of County programs and related matters.
Additionally, this amendment grants the flexibility to request a future Salary Resolution Amendment adding this classification to the Table of Positions, to serve in an “at will” capacity, as required by the operational needs of the Administrative Office and the County in its entirety.
