Board Of Commissioners
The Board of Commissioners serves as the legislative branch of the DeKalb County government. The Board is comprised of seven commissioners, each elected to a four-year term. DeKalb County is divided into five districts with one commissioner serving each district. There is also a pair of “super districts,” which vertically divide the county in two and are served by their own commissioners. Therefore, every citizen of DeKalb County is served by two commissioners; one from the resident’s district and one from their super district.
The Organizational Act provides for the establishment of the governing authority, including the delegation of powers and duties of the Board of Commissioners and Chief Executive Officer. The Act also addresses administrative duties, finance, purchasing and contracts, comprehensive development plan, and ethics.
