Roles & Responsibilities

The primary purpose of a commission is to serve as an advisory body to assist governmental bodies in the decision-making process. Commissions serve as a conduit for citizen input by gathering, analyzing and recommending options to the Board of Supervisors. Some commissions are mandated by federal or state statute, others are established by County ordinance or resolution; still others are established by a Joint Powers Agreement. Regardless of the establishing mechanism, the Board of Supervisors usually retains the final responsibility and authority for making policy decisions. The Planning Commission and the Assessment Appeals Boards are two of the few exceptions and have the authority to take independent actions.
