The five-member Board elects the Chair and Vice-Chair of the County Commission each year. For 2021, the Chair is District 4 Commissioner, Gary Blount and the Vice-Chair is District 5 Commissioner, Ben Casey.
The Board of Commissioners makes policies, adopts laws, sets budget limits, sets tax rates, etc. The Board appoints a County Administrator who is chosen by and responsible to the Board of County Commissioners.
