While the Chief Innovation Officer successfully raised San Leandro’s profile as a <br />center for innovation, the innovation functions in the City have evolved where they would now be <br />more effective if integrated within the IT Division. <br />The Chief Technology Officer would serve as the City’s senior technical advisor in the adoption <br />and development of innovative technologies and practices. The position would evaluate potential <br />technology programs and services that would benefit the City; and provide strategic planning and <br />direction of technology projects that would be implemented by IT Division staff. <br />Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 2/26/2019
