It is the mission of the Jones County Board of Commissioners to
exercise the powers, duties and responsibilities vested in and
imposed upon it as the duly constituted governing authority of Jones
County. The Board sets direction and formulates policies for the
county government and entrust the leadership of the county
administrator to adhere to and enforce such policies and to ensure
provision of the highest quality services to both its internal
(employees) and external (citizens) customers. The Board embraces
the opportunity to respond to the needs and concerns of the
citizens; and to conduct business in an open and professional manner
without favoritism.
Jones County operates under a five member Board of Commissioners.
The Chairman of the Board is elected at large. Jones County is
divided into four commission districts. All five commissioners are
elected every four years. Jones County runs its daily operations as
commission-county administrator form of government. This system
combines the policy leadership of elected officials with the
administrative abilities of a county administrator. The Board
appoints the County Clerk, Chief Deputy Clerk and County Attorney at
the beginning of each new four year term in addition to electing a
Vice-Chairman from the four district commissioners.
The commission meets in regular session twice a month on the first
Tuesday (6:00 p.m.) and third Tuesday (6:30 p.m.). Commission Zoning
Meetings are held the first Tuesday of the month beginning at 6:00
p.m. with the regular session meeting immediately following.
