History of the Board

The Community Action Board (CAB) was established August 17, 1973. The board’s current make up is tripartite, with low-income representatives, representatives of the private sector, and public officials (or their representatives), of the County of Shasta Board of Supervisors and City Council Members of the Cities of Redding, Anderson and Shasta Lake. Each of those categories has four seats on the board. This is outlined in the by-laws and in GOV code 12752.1. The CAB is an “advisory board to the Shasta County Board of Supervisors (“Governing Body”) in matters regarding the Shasta County Community Action Agency (“CAA”).
