In 1852, the Legislature created a five-member Board of Supervisors to govern the County. State law mandates that all minutes of the Board of Supervisors meetings be permanently maintained by the Executive Officer-Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, and that copies of the minutes and other documents are available to the public, other agencies and County departments upon request. The Records Management Section maintains a full and complete record of the proceedings of each meeting held by the Board of Supervisors, as well as all other assessment and taxing districts, agencies and authorities for which the Board acts. The Executive Office undertook a massive effort to digitize all Board records for easier access by the public. This includes records going as far back as far back as 1873! For 1985-present, records are online and can be accessed by following the directions below to our Statement of Proceedings website.
