General Purpose
The Communications Commission, formerly the Cable and Open Video Systems Commission, was formed to advise the Board of Supervisors on issues pertaining to the county's cable operations. Associated with this activity is the implementation of the Cable Television Act of 1992.

In November 2005, the Board adopted new by-laws which changed the CTVAC to the Cable and Open Video Systems Commission and expanded the scope of the commission, referencing that Open Video System (OVS) service providers are included.  In March 2012, the Board changed the name of the Cable and Open Video Systems Commission to the Communications Commission and expanded the scope of the commission to include broadband issues.
