The annual vote to elect a new Chair and Vice Chair of the Board of Supervisors was held Tuesday, Jan. 11. This year’s elected Chair is Supervisor Sue Frost of District 4, and Don Nottoli of District 5 was elected Vice Chair.
“I am honored to serve as the 2021 Chair of the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors,” said Frost. “2020 was a most challenging year, and I’m confident that the Board’s work this year will tackle important issues that are meaningful to the residents of Sacramento County.”
The Board of Supervisors showed their appreciation for the previous 2020 Board Chair, Supervisor Phil Serna, by contributing funds in his name to the Washington Neighborhood Center, Inc.
In addition to electing a new Chair and Vice Chair, two County Supervisors were sworn in for four-year terms:
