The five members of the Monterey County Board of Supervisors represent a county that is both geographically and demographically diverse—picturesque coastlines bring tourists, and productive farmland sends food around the world. Elected by the voters in their respective districts, the supervisors make policies for the whole county and appoint the county administrative officer, who oversees the administration of the county’s $1 billion budget, implements decisions made by the board, and coordinates the activities of other county departments to ensure the success of the board’s directions and policies. Meetings of the Board of Supervisors are open to the public; see meeting agendas for details on how to attend remotely.

It took less than three months for the ordinance to be challenged in Monterey County Superior Court by the Monterey County Vacation Rental Alliance, claiming that by limiting the number of rentals to just 4 percent of inland unincorporated Monterey County, it was violating property owners’ constitutional rights and interfered with their ability to do business.
