Description
of
Board
The Idaho Code
mandates a minimum of three County Commissioners in the list of county
officials required for county government. Any county may elect to
expand this number to 5, 7 or 9 board members. However, no counties in
Idaho have chosen to expand their boards beyond three members.
It further mandates that two County Commissioners serve
two-year terms and the third serves a four-year term. The four-year
term rotates between the Commissioners districts.
The Board has budget control, sets salary and benefit levels,
and adopts countywide policy for all departments of County government.
Other elected officials set policies and procedures for their
individual departments.
However, the following Departments report directly to the
Commissioners:
- Building
Department
- County Extension
Office
- Juvenile
Probation
- Public Defender
- Road &
Bridge Department
- Solid
Waste/Recycling
- Weed Control
The Board also appoints members to the following County
Boards:

Weed Management Area
- Ambulance
- Citizens
Advisory Committees and study groups

Preservation Commission

Zoning

Meeting Times
Commissioners’ meet on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Monday of each
month. If the Monday falls on a legal holiday, the meeting is
rescheduled to the day following the holiday.
Meetings are called to order at 9:00am in the Commissioners'
Room at the Adams County Courthouse, and run until approximately 4:30
or 5:00 pm..
Anyone can request to have a matter put on the agenda for the
Commissioners’ Meeting. Requests must be made through the County
Clerk’s office, 253-4561. The agenda is finalized at the end of the
business day, the Friday preceding the next meeting date.
All meetings of the Board of Commissioners are open to the
public with no appointment required. Members of the public may bring up
any topic for discussion that the Board has time to deal with, which
does not interfere with adhering to their published agenda. However, no
action can be taken that day on any matter that has not been included
in the agenda. This allows all interested parties have the opportunity
to comment on any subject before the Board takes action.
