Accountability begins with a strong commitment from our County Commissioners to listen to, and act upon, our citizens needs.
Commissioners listen, set goals and take action.
Then, specific and measurable individual employee goals are tied directly to Commissioners goals, and a budget is prepared and adopted to implement the goals. The Budget Division and County Manager carefully review each budget before it is finalized. Departmental budgets may be reduced to maximize efficient and effective tax dollar use. Commissioners review the budget and make recommendations at workshops, two Fiscal Retreats, and two Public Hearings in September. All meetings are open to the public.
