What We Do

Civil Counsel
The Civil Counsel provides legal advice to the Board of Commissioners, the County Administrator, and County departments, in all matters from reviewing policies to be presented to the Board of Commissioners, to the impact of legislation on County operations. All requests for legal advice should be submitted to the County Administrator.
Policy Development
All policies presented to the Board of Commissioners follow certain format and content requirements adopted by the Board in February 1997.

Upon Board adoption of policy, the Administrator's Office is responsible for administering the policy through the development and promulgation of procedures.

efficient and effective delivery of both mandated and other
County services to the public.
