The Administrative Services staff support the County Administrator and the Board of Supervisors.  They are responsible for taking and researching citizen complaints, creating and maintaining the Board of Supervisor's agenda, attending the Board of Supervisor meetings and creating the minutes of each meeting and assisting the County Administrator with the day to day operations of the county.

The County Administrator's office generates the Board of Supervisor's agenda.  The agenda is a detailed list of the items to be discussed in a Board Meeting.  Citizens or organizations wishing to participate in a Board Meeting, should contact this office to be included on the agenda.  Questions about the Board's Calendar should also be directed to the office of the County Administrator.
