Board of Commissioners

The Board of County Commissioners is composed of five members elected by the voters through district elections for four year staggered terms. The Board selects a Chairman and Vice-Chairman every January. The Board, as the county’s governing authority, is responsible for establishing policy for county operations, enacting ordinances and resolutions to promote the county’s health, safety, and welfare, and approving the annual budget and millage rate which funds the operations of the departments under the Board’s jurisdiction, other elected officials, and various outside agencies. The Board appoints a county manager to supervise the day-to-day operations of the county.
