No public Board of Supervisors record
No evidence was found of the Alpine County Board of Supervisors taking any action on AB 1185, civilian sheriff oversight, or related topics. The Alpine County Superior Court grand jury page shows no published reports since 2016-17, suggesting minimal grand jury output that could have prompted a BOS response on this topic.

What is AB 1185?
AB 1185 (2020) added California Government Code § 25303.7. It lets a California county establish civilian oversight of its sheriff — a sheriff oversight board, an Office of Inspector General, or both — either by action of the Board of Supervisors or by a vote of county residents.
The law is permissive, not a mandate: each county decides whether to create one. Where a county does, the Board of Supervisors may grant the body subpoena power.
