Committees

Who We Are

The board of supervisors makes up the legislative body of the county. The legislative body utilizes a committee system, with committees of the body being delegated overall responsibility for policy direction and oversight of county departments.

How We Serve

Each committee or its chair exercises a certain amount of supervisory or administrative authority on behalf of the legislative body over the operational arrangements of the specific service, activity, department, or agency. The legislature may also delegate to its chair a substantial amount of administrative authority to be exercised on its behalf. The chair of the board of supervisors serves as an ex-officio member of all committees
