BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The County Policy Manual documents policy direction from the Board of Supervisors and Board of Directors (collectively Board) to departments and Board-governed entities on a broad array of topics. Board-approved policies are often implemented through the use of Standard Practices, which are approved by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and incorporated into the County Policy Manual.
In order to facilitate the review of County policies, the County has established a Policy Review Committee (Committee) to evaluate requests for new policies and conduct ongoing review and update of existing policies. The Committee includes representation from various departments as follows:
