The Board of Supervisors works to influence the outcome of State and federal policies that affect the County's
ability to serve our customers. The Board does this by sponsoring, identifying, monitoring, and commenting on
State and federal legislation, regulations and administrative actions. The County of Kern is prohibited by
law from contributing to political campaigns. In order to present a single coherent position on County issues, Chapter 15 of the Administrative Procedures Manual specifies that only the Board of Supervisors and other elected County officials may establish the legislative policies that the Board members and County staff advocate in Sacramento and Washington. The Policy Analysis Division of the County Administrative Office works closely with Board members, County departments and community members in managing the County's legislative program. The Legislative Analyst gathers and evaluates information on legislative policies that the County Administrative Office recommends to the Board of Supervisors for adoption, then coordinates advocacy of those issues in the proper forums by Board members, County staff and legislative consultants in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. For more information, contact Allan Krauter at (661) 868-3155. |
