See Documenters reporting

San Diego County has over 100 citizen boards, committees, commissions (BCCs) and task forces that need residents to serve as members.

There are many different types of BCCs that support the County. Some are temporary and only meet for a short time. They may help make decisions or recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on a specific topic. Others are permanent groups that were created as part of State or local law. Some of these committees have legal responsibilities such as the Property Tax Assessment Appeals Hearing Board where members serve three-year terms and make decisions regarding property values on behalf of the Board of Supervisors. There are committees that assist with everything from health issues to social issues, criminal justice, elderly, planning and land use, parks, libraries, housing, and human relations.
