board of supervisors
County governing body
A board of supervisors is the governing body of a county in certain U.S. states, particularly California.
Members are elected to represent districts and oversee county operations, budgets, and policies.
The term reflects the board's role in supervising county administration rather than legislating: The board of supervisors approved the new zoning ordinance.
