Supervisors' terms are staggered — two Supervisors are elected in one general election, and three Supervisors in the next. The Board meets every Tuesday at the County Administrative Building in Visalia, located at 2800 West Burrel Avenue. The Board will occasionally schedule meetings at night or in another location, depending on County business and public needs. All decisions must be made in sessions open to the public except for decisions regarding confidential personnel, labor and legal issues. On closed session matters, official actions must be reported. For specifics about Board meetings about Board meetings, call the Clerk of the Board at (559) 636-5000, or visit the Board Agenda Page. The Board governs the county. This includes: Adopting the annual budget Making important land use decisions Confirming appointment of most non-elected officials Leading regional agencies Adopting Tulare County Ordinance Code Setting most operations policies Supervisors also assist citizens in solving problems and addressing local concerns. Board members hire the County Executive Officer, to carry out the policy decisions they make and to be responsible for day to day operations of the county. They also hire County Counsel, the county's legal advisor. Voters also elect other officials, including the Assessor, Auditor-Controller, County Clerk / Recorder - Registrar of Voters, District Attorney, Sheriff-Coroner-Marshal, Treasurer-Tax Collector, and Superintendent of Schools, each to four-year terms. They also elect Trial Court judges. Make Your Voice Heard Board Meetings Attend any Board meeting to learn about and to speak on issues of concern. You may ask to speak on any agenda item as it is discussed. For items not on the agenda, you must address the Board during the Public Comment agenda item, which is usually listed early on the agenda for regular Board meetings. Because of state Brown Act restrictions, the Board is not permitted to take any action on items addressed under Public Comment. However, they may choose to add an item raised in Public Comment to the agenda for a later Board meeting. Contact Your Supervisor If you have a question, problem or concern, you may write, fax, phone, e-mail or visit your Supervisor's office. Review the Board Agenda Click to go to the Board Agenda Page
