The Board of County Commissioners is the legislative body of the county and has charge of all county executive  and administrative functions, except those assigned by the Constitution to independent county officers or to the independent school district. The board also has some quasi-judicial functions. Some of functions exercised by the board are county-wide, while others are applicable only in the unincorporated areas of the county, where the board has many of the functions of a municipality. The county commissioners are elected by county-wide vote, but each one represents a specific district.  The board appoints the county administrator who is responsible to it for the day-to-day operations of the county government.
