Serving in the capacity of combined Executive and Legislative branches of County government, the three county commissioners are the chief governing body of the county. Statutory authority of the commissioners is primarily of an administrative nature with legislative or policy-making powers. The County Commissioners are vested with policy-making authority to provide local services and facilities on a county-wide basis.The County Commissioners are, in effect, the business managers of the county.
Administrative powers and duties of the County Commissioners encompass registration and elections, assessment of persons and property, human services, veterans' affairs, appointment of county personnel, and fiscal management.
As managers of fiscal affairs, the Board of Commissioners are responsible for the adoption of county budgets, assessment of property, levying taxes and the borrowing of funds.
Commissioners serve on the County’s Salary, Retirement and Prison boards and make appointments to other boards, commissions and authorities as needed and/or required.
Their staff includes the Chief Clerk and Solicitor.
