Board of Commissioners
The Board of Commissioners is the governing body representing the
citizens of Montgomery County. State statute authorizes the commission to
perform legislative and administrative powers and duties. The Commission
approves the budget for all county departments, elected and appointed, approves
contracts, and enacts resolutions and regulations to ensure the public health,
safety and well-being of all citizens of Montgomery County.
There are three (3) members on the Board of Commissioners with one (1)
commissioner elected from each of the three commission districts. The districts
are divided equally on the basis of population and in accordance with state
statutes are realigned every 3 years. Four-year terms of office are staggered so
that no more than two commissioners are elected at any general election.
Commissioners are elected on a partisan basis.
