Thank you for your interest in Commissions, Committees & Advisory Bodies to the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors!
The Board appoints residents of Santa Cruz County to positions on more than 40 advisory bodies established to provide advice and recommendations to the Board in a variety of subject areas, as well as to a few agencies which, while note advisory to the Board of Supervisors, include representatives appointed by the Board. While some of these entities are mandated by State law, most were established by the Board to facilitate citizen involvement in government and to assist the Board in its decision-making process.
Most commission and board members are eligible to receive a $75 stipend for each public meeting attended.
