The County Administrative Office, under the leadership of Paul Nerland, functions as the operations arm of the Board of Supervisors to deliver the highest quality public services to Fresno County residents. There are 21 Departments with 7,200 employees dedicated to finding better and more effective ways to meet the needs of our community.
We administer the County’s $4.1 billion dollar budget that funds services in public safety, law enforcement, agriculture, public works, human services, libraries and elections. The CAO office takes the lead in activities to improve the quality of life in Fresno County, including economic development, capital improvements, and tourism.
