COUNTY: Study group voted for no change
The Optional Forms of Government Study Commission was not discontinued due to persuasive testimony by any one group. The study group worked for a year and heard many public comments. No commenters were ever asked to identify their affiliation.
The study group reviewed possible changes to our county government to make it more responsive to our current (171,000+ pop) community. The existing county government form provides for three elected county commissioners and six elected department heads. The discussions included creating five or seven elected commissioners with smaller districts, increasing accountability to the voters in each district.
