Annual Report

Dear Readers:

We are pleased to present the Clerk of the Board Annual Report.

Unlike our Business Plan which provides an overview of our department’s goals for the upcoming year and the future, the annual report provides a look at COB’s everyday duties.  From the number of agenda items processed to public records requests to assessment appeals filed I know you will find this report both informative and surprising in regards to the amount of items that come through our office each year.

COB is the official repository of County records and provides administrative support to the Board of Supervisors, the governing boards of certain districts and authorities and the Assessment Appeals Boards and Hearing Officers.  The majority of its functions are defined and mandated by various California Statutes, Revenue and Taxation Codes, County Ordinances, Board Resolutions, County Rules of Procedure and by Board of Supervisors’ policy.

The Clerk of the Board Department is ever changing in our efforts to provide and ensure its service to the citizens of Orange County, as reflected in our Mission Statement: to provide the County and its citizens easy access to information, and guidance in order to facilitate fair, equitable and open participation in the decision and policy making of Orange County government.

As always, we look forward to serving Orange County.

Sincerely,

Susan Novak
Clerk of the Board
