Board

Who we Are

The members of the legislative body serve two distinct functions, as an elected Supervisor in charge of the administration of a town government and as a county official, by their participation in a Board of Supervisors.

How we Serve

Counties and all local governments in general are affected by most actions of the state. Two bodies of state law have the greatest affect on county administration and organization and their ability to enact local laws: the County Law and the Municipal Home Rule Law. The County Law delineates the powers and duties of the elected legislative body, and requires it to elect a chair to facilitate the administration of its activities. Under County Law, the chair remains a member of the board of supervisors with the same powers and responsibilities of all other members of the board. The board of supervisors may establish standing committees to assist the board in transacting its business. The board of supervisors may also delegate certain of its powers to the Chair, to be exercised on its behalf and under its general oversight. The county law provides that all powers of the county shall be exercised through a local law or resolution adopted by majority vote of the board of supervisors.
