MENDOCINO COUNTY ENHANCES AVAILABILITY TO BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS RESOURCES
On November 15, 2016, the Mendocino County Executive Office will launch a new online Boards and
Commissions resource on the County webpage: The Board of Supervisors encourages citizen
involvement and expertise to assist the Board in serving the community. Boards and Commissions were
established to help the Board address many and varied duties and responsibilities of local County
government. These Boards and Commissions are created by State or Federal law, County ordinance, or
by action of the Board of Supervisors and provide forums for citizen input and accessibility to County
government. 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.
This resource enhancement will allow the public greater access to information regarding the over 100
County Boards, Commissions, and Special Districts. Members of the public will now have the ability to
access rosters, contact information, and membership details for all County Boards, Commissions, and
Special Districts electronically. Additionally, it will allow the public to view detailed vacancy
information and apply for vacancies on various County Boards and Commissions online.
Applicants for County Boards and Commissions are encouraged to apply online, however, hard copy
applications will continue to be accepted by the Mendocino County Executive Office at 501 Low Gap
Road, Room 1010, Ukiah, CA 95482 or via fax to (707) 463-7237. Individuals interested in serving on
elected Special District positions must continue to file for candidacy with the Mendocino County Clerk-
Recorder’s Office.
The Boards and Commissions resource may be accessed online at

Executive Office at (707) 463-4441.
