County Commission
Five commissioners, two Tuesdays a month.
When the board meets, who represents your district, and how to have your say before a decision is made.
When and where the commission meets
The Board of County Commissioners is Kalaga County’s governing body: five commissioners, elected for four years, who adopt the county budget, set the property tax rate, approve road work and decide on land use outside town limits.
The board meets in public at the Kalaga County Courthouse, 1 Courthouse Square, in Kalaga Springs. The agenda is posted by the courthouse door and on this site on the Thursday before each meeting.
- Regular meetings: second and fourth Tuesday of the month, 6 p.m.
- Budget hearings: two Tuesday evenings in September
- Workshops: announced at least one week ahead
Five districts, five commissioners
Each commissioner lives in and represents one district, from the county seat to the communities along the State border. The chair rotates every December.
- District 1: Kalaga Springs
- District 2: Pine Hollow and the eastern ridge
- District 3: the towns along the National Park entrance road
- District 4: the northern border communities
- District 5: the farm roads and lakes of the south
The commission does not run Mount Kalaga National Park: questions about the park, its trails and its hunting seasons go to the park and to POACH, the State’s wildlife agency.
Speak at a meeting
Anyone may speak during public comment. Fill in a speaker card before the meeting starts; each speaker has three minutes, on any county matter.
Written comments reach the board if they arrive by noon on the day of the meeting, by mail to the Clerk at the courthouse or by email to the county information address.
Agendas, minutes and recordings
Minutes are approved at the next regular meeting and then kept by the Clerk, who provides copies and audio recordings on request, free of charge for the last twelve months.
