Board of supervisors

From Sunshine Review

The Board of Supervisors is the body governing counties in the U.S. states of Arizona, California, Iowa, Mississippi, Virginia, and Wisconsin. In other states it may be called the County council or County commission. In Nebraska, some counties are governed by a board of supervisors while other counties are governed by a county commission. In New York, counties are governed by a county legislature, a board of representatives, or a board of supervisors. Similar to a city council, a board of supervisors has legislative, executive, and quasi-judicial powers.

A board of supervisors may also be the governing body of a city, village, town, or township.
