Mohave County Board of Supervisors Meeting
The Board of Supervisors is the governing body of Mohave County. Its duties, by state law, are both legislative and executive. The Board, as a body, is responsible for the overall management of the County government operations. The Board appoints a County Administrator, responsible for the day to day operation of the County. The County Administrator supervises the work of appointed department directors and is responsible for the appointment of non-elected department directors, with concurrence of the Board. In addition, the Board appoints all members of the many boards and commissions that assist these programs.
All department budgets, whether directed by an elected or appointed official, are set by the Board. Tax rates for all taxing entities in Mohave County (school districts, cities, fire districts, etc.) are set by the individual districts' boards and adopted by the Board of Supervisors. All purchases and sales of county property, construction of county facilities, awards of bids for services and supplies and the appointments of all county personnel are but a few duties that fall within the responsibility of the Board of Supervisors.
Mohave County is divided into five supervisorial districts. The five Board members are elected to a four-year term by the electors of their respective supervisorial districts. The current Board of Supervisors maintains an open office policy and encourages public comment, suggestions, inquiries and attendance at all Board meetings. The Clerk of the Board takes minutes of all Board meetings. Agenda's, Minutes and Item backup documents are approved by the Board and made available to the public via the county's Public Documents portal.
The Board of Supervisors must take all official actions during an open public meeting after being properly noticed on the agenda for the Board of Supervisors action. The Board of Supervisors holds regular Board meetings at 9:30 a.m. on the first Monday of each month. If there is a Monday holiday, the meetings are held on the following Tuesday unless otherwise scheduled.
The Clerk of the Board posts agendas for each meeting on the bulletin board at the Mohave County Administration Building Offices at 700 W. Beale Street and on the Mohave County website.
