Sutter County Board of Supervisors
Members of the Board of Supervisors serve as the legislative body for Sutter County and provide policy direction for all branches of County government.
Each of the five members represents an area of the County, known as a Supervisorial District, and is elected by the voters in that District to a four-year term. While the five Supervisorial Districts vary greatly in geographic size, they all have approximately the same population. The District boundaries are redrawn after each census to ensure an even distribution of the population.
The terms of the Supervisors overlap, with the voters electing a representative in Districts 1, 4, and 5 during Presidential election years and Districts 2 and 3 in State general election years. Similar to a corporate board of directors, but with broader powers, the Board of Supervisors sets policy for the County and its operation within guidelines established by State and federal laws and regulations.
The Board is responsible for enacting ordinances and resolutions, adopting the budget, levying taxes, and approving formal contracts and agreements. The Board of Supervisors also serves as the governing body for several special districts which provide water, sewer, and fire suppression services in the unincorporated areas.
All meetings of the Board of Supervisors are open to the public. For information on the time, place, and agendas for the Board meetings, contact the Clerk of the Board at the phone number or e-mail listed on this page.
