Their powers include reviewing budget requests, appropriating funds, establishing county tax levies, enacting ordinances, filling employee vacancies, and hearing reports from county officers. The board is responsible for overseeing economic development in the county. Each member serves on the boards listed below, in addition to appointing citizens to other
