El Dorado County (Jan 14, 2025) –
The El Dorado County Board of Supervisors has unanimously appointed Pamela Knorr as the interim Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) for a one-year term. This decision follows the resignation of former CAO Terri Daly in November 2014.
Ms. Knorr brings over 28 years of public service experience, having held positions in county administration, human resources, human services, and public sector budgeting across five California counties: Amador, Napa, Placer, Alpine, and El Dorado. Notably, she served as CAO for Alpine County for five years.
“Pamela brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this position with a common-sense approach,” stated Board Chairman and District 3 Supervisor Brian Veerkamp. “The board is confident that she will be successful in guiding the county through this transition.”
During her interim tenure, Ms. Knorr will focus on several key objectives:
- Presenting a balanced budget for the fiscal year 2015-16.
- Facilitating the development of a county strategic plan.
- Identifying and evaluating options for new county facilities.
Expressing her gratitude, Ms. Knorr said, “I want to thank the Board of Supervisors for its confidence in me, and I’m truly humbled to serve in this capacity. I look forward to working with the board, county departments, and citizens of El Dorado County over the next year to achieve many of the county’s goals.”
At the conclusion of the one-year period, the Board plans to conduct a competitive recruitment process to appoint a permanent CAO.
We invite community members to share their thoughts on this appointment and the future direction of El Dorado County’s administration. Your insights are valuable as the county embarks on this transitional period.
