How to show up in Mono County
Surveillance is approved by people who hold public meetings any resident can attend. This page lists the bodies that do that in Mono County, what we have confirmed about attending each one, and where each publishes its agendas.
We do not publish meeting dates. A schedule we cannot check often enough would eventually send someone to the wrong place on the wrong night. Each body below links to wherever it publishes its own agendas and schedule, and that is the copy to trust.

Mono County Board of Supervisors
Watch this oneThis Board reviewed the Sheriff's plate reader policy in April 2022 under the state law that requires a public hearing before a plate reader system is adopted, and approved a body-camera grant budget adjustment on its consent calendar in June 2024.
- When
- The first three Tuesdays of each month at 9:00 AM.
- Where
- The first two Tuesdays in the Board of Supervisors Chambers upstairs at the Mono County Courthouse, 278 Main Street, Bridgeport, CA 93517. The third Tuesday in the Mono Lake Room downstairs at the Mono County Civic Center, 1290 Tavern Road, Mammoth Lakes, CA 93546. Whichever building the Board is not sitting in that week runs as a teleconference location where the public can watch and comment.
- Remote
- A Zoom webinar, with registration details on each meeting's agenda. The county says the webinar is a courtesy and is not guaranteed unless a board member is attending remotely under state law, so the two physical locations are the reliable way to take part.
- Public comment
- The public can take part in person at either location, or over Zoom when it is running, including listening and giving comment. The county does not publish a per-speaker time limit.
- Written comment
- — not confirmed
- Who to ask
- Clerk of the Board, 760-932-5530, PO Box 715, Bridgeport, CA 93517. Full agenda packets can be read in the Office of the Clerk of the Board, Annex I, 74 North School Street, Bridgeport. (checked )
The county rebuilt its website and moved its agendas to CivicClerk. The monocounty.ca.gov/bos address that older records point at now returns a 404, and several official PDFs from before the migration are gone. Anything handed to the Board less than 72 hours before a meeting can be read in the Clerk's office and online. Accessibility arrangements need 48 hours' notice.

What this list does not cover yet
These are the bodies we have confirmed, not every body in the county. Mono County has other commissions and committees, and other school and special districts, that we have not documented yet. Several of the county's own committees publish on the same county portal linked above.
