Government
The county functions under a County Manager form of government, which is designed to ensure efficient administration and effective governance. At the heart of this system is a five-member Board of Commissioners, which serves as the primary policy-making body for the county. This Board is responsible for establishing the overall direction and policies that guide the operations of the county, making critical decisions that affect the lives of its residents. Each member of the Board is elected by the citizens, representing various districts within the county, and they work collaboratively to address the needs and concerns of the community. The County Manager, appointed by the Board, is tasked with implementing the policies set forth by the Commissioners and overseeing the daily operations of the county government. This structure promotes accountability, transparency, and responsiveness to the public, ensuring that the interests of the community are effectively represented and managed
