How often must the commissioner report to the Board of Supervisors?

The correct frequency for the commissioner to report to the Board of Supervisors is monthly at their request. This ensures that the Board receives timely updates on the operations and activities of the commission, allowing for informed decision-making and oversight.

The requirement for monthly reporting emphasizes responsiveness to the Board’s needs and priorities, rather than a static schedule that may not align with the urgency of specific issues or developments. By being open to requests for reports, the commissioner can foster better communication and accountability between the commission and the Board.

In contrast, options suggesting more frequent reporting, such as weekly, may create unnecessary administrative burdens without providing substantial benefit. Similarly, quarterly or annual reporting may not be frequent enough to address pressing matters or changes in operations, potentially leading to delays in critical decision-making or oversight functions. Thus, monthly reporting at the Board's request strikes an optimal balance between thorough oversight and operational efficiency.
