Structure of the Commission:

The San Bernardino LAFCO is composed of seven voting members, with four alternate members who vote only in the absence or abstention of a voting member. The seven members and their alternates represent all levels of local government. Two members are elected county supervisors and are selected by the Board of Supervisors. Two members are elected city council members and are selected by the mayors of the twenty-four cities within San Bernardino County. Two members are elected members of a special district board of directors and are selected by the presidents of the fifty-one independent special districts in San Bernardino County. These six elected officials select a “public” member who is not affiliated with county, city, or special district governments. Alternate members for the county, city, special district, and public categories are selected in the same manner. Each commissioner and alternate serves a four-year term.
