What does the County Board of Supervisors do?

The County Board of Supervisors play a pivotal role in county government across the state. The county board of supervisors approves how tax dollars are spent when they approve the county budget. They also pass county resolutions and ordinances (local laws) and establish programs and public services for the county.

Why does this matter?

As county policy makers, the county board of supervisors determine what county services and programs get funded and which ones do not. Their decisions impact many issues in the county they serve including: public health, housing, public safety including county jails and juvenile justice services, child welfare services, transportation, planning and zoning, and more. As elected officials, county board supervisors are held accountable by voters in their community.
