The Chief Administrative Officer, Corporate Officer and Chief Financial Officer are local government staff who support operations at a senior level along with other department heads. It takes a wide variety of employees to run programs, provide services and implement the policies and decisions made by elected officials.
THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
The Community Charter and Local Government Act provides for a Chief Administrative Officer to have the following duties:
- Manage the local government's operations overall
- Implement the municipal council or regional district board's policies, programs and other directions
- Advise and inform the council or board on the local government's operation and affairs
Chief Administrative Officers typically serve as the primary point of contact between the council or board and the local government's staff. The municipal council or regional district board often delegates to the Chief Administrative Officer the responsibility to hire individuals to fill the other officer and employee positions.
