Madison County operates under the traditional “County Board” form of government. The powers and duties of the County as a body politic and corporate are vested in a board of county supervisors (“the Board”). The Board consists of five members, elected from the county at large. The Board members serve staggered terms of four years each. The Board elects a Chairman and a Vice Chairman annually from its membership. The Chairman, and in his absence the Vice Chairman, serves as the presiding officer for each Board meeting, and serves as the head of local government for all official functions and ceremonial purposes. For 2009, the Chairman is Eddie Dean and the Vice Chairman is James Arrington.
The Board of Supervisors is accountable for a variety of activities including: establishing priorities for County programs and services; establishing administrative and legislative policy; adopting an annual budget and appropriating funds; establishing county tax rates; and adopting and enforcing the County’s comprehensive land use plan. The Board, in the performance of its duties, obligations and functions, takes action collectively through adoption of appropriate ordinances, resolutions and motions. |
