Welcome to the Administrative Office
Our mission is to provide advice, interpret and implement the goals and policies of the Board of Supervisors through effective leadership and management of County services. We do this to achieve the County's vision of a safe, healthy, livable, prosperous, and well-governed community.
Functions of the Administrative Office
Emergency Management
The Administrative Office includes the Office of Emergency Services, which coordinates disaster readiness efforts countywide, develops and maintains key emergency management disaster response plans, and provides emergency management training to various public and related agencies in San Luis Obispo County.
Citizen Outreach/Support
The Administrative Office connects the public with County government in a variety of ways. It conducts surveys for community feedback to improve performance, develops informative presentations and materials to improve communication with the public and promotes technology to make County government more accessible.
Organization Support
The Administrative Office also assists the Board of Supervisors in managing, directing, and coordinating the operation of all County Departments over which the Board exercises control. It does this by preparing and reviewing the Board meeting agendas; analyzing, interpreting and implementing Board policies; labor relations; and managing the County's budget.
The Administrative Office also supports the organization by through capital planning, responding to public requests for information, resolving citizen complaints, troubleshooting, and keeping departments up to date on important issues.
Organizational Effectiveness
The Administrative Office works to create a high-performance, results-oriented County government by promoting strategic planning, setting goals, managing performance, and encouraging continuous improvement through a regular organizational review process.
Federal and State Funding Loss Inventory and Impact Survey (2025)
In preparation for possible reductions in federal and state funding, we are collecting information about programs and services that could be impacted. The County is requesting stakeholder participation (i.e. local agencies, non-profits, community-based organizations) in this Federal and State Funding Inventory and Impact Survey to help us better understand how potential reductions may affect local programs, community organizations, and the populations we serve. Your responses will not only help the County in planning for possible service impacts but will also support efforts to advocate and lobby for continued funding at state and federal levels. By gathering detailed information about the potential consequences of funding losses, we aim to prioritize critical services, protect vulnerable communities, and strengthen our case when engaging policymakers.
