What is a requirement for members of the Board of Supervisors?

Members of the Board of Supervisors are required to live in the district they represent. This residency requirement ensures that they have a direct understanding of the needs, concerns, and interests of their constituents, allowing them to make informed decisions that reflect the priorities of the community. Living within the district helps foster accountability, as they are directly affected by the policies and issues that arise in the area they serve. This connection to the district is crucial for effective governance and enhances the trust between the supervisors and the community they represent.
