Bud Owens, Vice-Chairman Kevin Cunningham, and Commissioner Chad Steward)The Board of County Commissioners is composed of five members elected by the voters through at-large elections for four-year staggered terms. The Board, as the county's governing authority, is responsible for establishing policy for county operations,
enacting ordinances and resolutions to promote the county's health, safety, and welfare, and approving the annual budget and millage rate which funds the operations of the constitutional officers as well as the departments under the Board's jurisdiction. The Board appoints a county administrator to supervise the day-to-day operations of the county. The Gordon County Board of Commissioners meets the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 6 pm in the Assembly Room of the Judicial Building, 101 South Piedmont Street, in Calhoun. In addition, a work session is held at 5 pm. The public is encouraged to attend and participate in these public meetings.
