Board Chambers Meetings

The Board of Supervisors is the governing body of the County of Sacramento. There are five members of the Board and each represents one of five Districts. Board of Supervisor meetings are open to the public to attend. Meeting agendas are available at: www.sccob.saccounty.net

The Sacramento Environmental Commission provides environmental leadership, assistance and analysis, and advice to the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors and the City Councils ofFolsom, Galt, Isleton, City of Sacramento and City of Elk Grove.

In this role the SEC works with City and County agencies and strives to forward its vision of environmental quality, conservation, public health and environmental protection, environmental justice and sustainability throughout Sacramento County.

The SEC serves as the advisory body for the Sacramento County Environmental Management Department (EMD).

This committee takes final action on parcel maps (4 parcels or less) that do not require hearings at the Community Planning Advisory Council (CPAC), or the County Planning Commission. Their actions can be appealed to the County Planning Commission.

The Community Planning Advisory Councils were created in the unincorporated County to facilitate and encourage direct citizen participation early in the planning process when it is easier for project proponents and decision-makers to respond to public concerns. The primary purpose of the CPAC is to gather community response to proposed projects. The projects reviewed range from broad policy questions that apply countywide, to small development projects of local interest. Entitlements reviewed include General Plan and Zoning Code amendments to plans, zoning matters and use permits.

The STA is primarily responsible for administering the Measure A program: the half-percent sales tax for transportation improvements in Sacramento County.

The STA also administers the Sacramento Metropolitan Freeway Service Patrol (FSP) program in cooperation with Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol. The program's primary objective is to reduce the traffic congestion caused by roadway incidents.

The STA Governing Board and staff also serve as the Governing Board and staff of the Sacramento Abandoned Vehicle Service Authority (SAVSA). SAVSA provides funding to participating local jurisdictions for the abatement of abandoned vehicles and vehicle parts on streets and private property.

The STA is the only local countywide transportation agency and, therefore, provides a number of other functions related to setting priorities for the expenditure of specified state and federal transportation funds in Sacramento County.

Formed in 1992, the Sacramento Regional Solid Waste Authority (SWA) is a joint powers authority that oversees commercial waste management in the City of Sacramento and the unincorporated areas of Sacramento County.

The SWA is currently formulating strategies with its partners to reduce blight and illegal dumping, as well as to divert commercially generated food waste. Stay informed by visiting our organics webpage.

The Zoning Administrator takes final action on minor use permits and variances.  Zoning Administrator actions can be appealed to the Board of Zoning Appeals.
