No public Board of Supervisors record

No BOS-level discussion of AB 1185 or civilian sheriff oversight was found. The Mono County Board of Supervisors responded to the 2019-2020 Grand Jury report in February 2021, concurring with the Sheriff's responses on jail conditions, staffing, and emergency communications — none of which addressed civilian oversight under AB 1185. The 2025 Grand Jury report on Mammoth Lakes Police detainment processes concerns a city department, not the county Sheriff.
