Washington County Board of Supervisors: Committees & Advisory Boards
The Washington County Board of Supervisors establishes and makes appointments to various Committees and Advisory Boards throughout the year. Most Committees and Advisory Boards are established at the Board of Supervisors Annual Organizational Meeting held in early January. Committees and Advisory Boards meet on a regular or as-needed basis, usually coordinated by County administrative personnel. Committees of the Board of Supervisors are composed of two or three Board members, assisted by County administrative personnel and/or other persons appointed by Board Committee members. Some Committees are constituted jointly with one or more other County boards, authorities or commissions. Advisory Boards to the Board of Supervisors are composed of up to seven persons appointed by the Board of Supervisors, based on County Election Districts, organizations and/or at-large representation (no Board of Supervisors members serve on Advisory Boards). Committees and Advisory Boards are charged with a variety of responsibilities, usually to review and advise the Board of Supervisors on specific matters or issues of interest to the County government. Committees and Advisory Boards serve an important role in their ability to focus on specific matters in detail and render advice and recommendations for formal action by the Board of Supervisors.
Please refer to the website Calendar for meetings of these Committees and Advisory Boards.
