The Graham County Board of Commissioners is the governing body for the county. The Board is responsible for formulating policy, directing government services and appointing members of various boards and agencies to implement specific policies or to provide certain services. The board consists of three members who are elected at-large on a partisan basis. During the November elections, the Board will be increased to five members.
The board appoints a county manager to serve as the county's chief executive officer. The county manager serves at the pleasure of the board, implements its policies, directs business and administrative procedures and appoints most department heads and officials.
Within the commission-manager form of government, in addition to the board, there are a number of other independently elected county officials who serve as an integral part of the county government. These include the sheriff and register of deeds.
BOARD MEETINGS:
The commissioners meet on the first and third Tuesday nights of the month at 6:00 p.m. in the Graham County Community Building, 196 Knight Street, Robbinsville, NC. The meetings are open to the public and visitors are cordially invited to attend. The deadline to be placed on the Agenda is on Thursday before the scheduled meeting on the first or third Tuesdays of each month. Contact 479-7960 or 479-7961 to be placed on the Agenda.
