Standing Committees of the County Legislature
The Legislature has made it clear that the Administrator is their representative on day to day matters in County government. Therefore, all matters requiring action by any Committee should first be covered with the Administrator. This puts the Administrator in a primary position where he belongs. He should not be in a position of being surprised at any Committee meeting. There should be no doubt in the minds of any Department Head that they are expected to work with and through the Administrator.
The Committee maintains its right to disagree with the Administrator and, if the disagreement is serious enough, it can still be brought before the full Legislature.
The following is a list of the standing committees of this Legislature. If you click on each committee you will find a description of the areas of responsibility with which each is charged. These committees and their responsibilities are subject to change by resolution of this Legislature. 2013 Yearly Calendar
