Ventura County is located on California's "Gold Coast," approximately 35 miles northwest of Los Angeles and 20 miles southeast of Santa Barbara. Residents enjoy rolling hills and sweeping ocean views in a nearly perfect Mediterranean climate. The beauty and weather combined with a wonderful quality of life are among the many reasons our residents choose to call Ventura County "home."

Ventura County is a "general law" county, governed by a five-member, elected-by-district Board of Supervisors. The Supervisors appoint a County Executive Officer (CEO) to oversee the County budget, day-to-day operations, and to advise, assist, and act as an agent for the Board of Supervisors in all matters under the Board's jurisdiction. It focuses on providing excellent services to its residents by promoting engagement, strategy, execution, and accountability to include diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives to ensure that all employees are treated with respect and without discrimination, and to improve culturally appropriate outcomes for community members.

The Clerk of the Board is responsible for several areas of governmental service and is committed to providing excellent customer service and transparency while ensuring the integrity and accessibility of public records for the entities that we serve. The Clerk of the Board is the official Custodian of Record for each of the following entities:
Board of Supervisors, Assessment Appeals, Air Pollution Control Board, City Selection Committee, Fire Protection District Board of Appeals, Election Advisory Committee, and the Ventura County Consolidated Oversight Board. The Clerk of the Board also maintains County Ordinances, Statements of Economic Interests/Form 700 Filings, and the Conflict of Interest Code Biennial Notices.

Under general supervision (Deputy Clerk of the Board) and under limited supervision (Senior Deputy Clerk of the Board), performs a wide variety of skilled administrative and complex processing tasks utilizing many computerized systems in order to maintain official records and files; processes legal documents; processes assessment appeal applications; processes Statements of Economic Interest/Form 700 filings; administers the Conflict of Interest Code;

manages information regarding Boards and Commissions; responds to public records requests, processes agendas and minutes for various boards and commissions, clerks meetings, and provides excellent customer service in person, over the telephone, and in writing.

The Deputy Clerk of the Board differs from the Senior Deputy Clerk of the Board in the level and complexity of assignments requiring journey, and advanced journey skill levels. The Deputy Clerk of the Board classification has less scope and focuses on processing materials with fewer regulations than the Senior Deputy Clerk of the Board classification.
