Boards, Commissions and Committees
There are approximately 100 Boards and Commissions to which the Board of Supervisors appoints some or all of the members. There is an on going need for all interested residents to apply for positions on commissions which are of interest to them. Each Board and Commission has an issue, policy and/or program focus, and appointees generally represent defined communities of interest. The Board of Supervisors relies on these groups to advise them on a wide range of issues affecting their constituencies and to assure they are responsive to community needs.

If you find it necessary to complete a Petition for Waiver form due to excessive absences, this form should be completed and submitted to your committee contact person so that it may be placed on the board of Supervisors agenda for consideration.
