They also appoint department heads and members of a variety of boards. In addition to these explicit duties, commissioners are required to be active in promoting the growth and welfare of many countywide agencies and organizations. All formal and official actions must be taken by the Board of County Commissioners, acting as a body, by a majority or unanimous vote.
