Community Advisory Committees (CACs) are groups that assist County staff and the Board of Supervisors with community-related projects. These committees are made up of people with different backgrounds, such as residents, business owners, and community representatives, giving everyone a chance to share their ideas and feedback. While CACs don't have the power to create laws, they play an important role in influencing decisions by providing input on various topics.
CACs discuss a variety of issues, including transportation planning, development projects, environmental concerns, traffic safety, and the overall wellbeing of the community. If you're working on a service learning project, these committees can be a great resource for understanding local community needs and gathering insights for your project.
