Flood Control Advisory Commission

The San Diego County Flood Control District is run by a five-member panel called the Board of Directors. When they are not serving as Directors of the Flood Control District, the individual members of the Board occupy their primary role as the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors. The Board of Directors has created a Flood Control District Advisory Commission that investigates, and then advises the Board, District Manager, and District staff regarding various District issues. The District Manager and staff answer to the Board of Directors. It is their responsibility to enact the terms of the San Diego County Flood Control District Act and carry out the policy of the Board of Directors.
