Government

Weld County

The five-member Board of County Commissioners functions as the statutory head of Weld County's government. As a board, the commissioners are required to establish a budget, levy taxes, appropriate funds for county business, establish fees and licenses, purchase or otherwise acquire, own, sell, lease, trade, and otherwise deal in real and personal property in the name of the county, receive gifts and grants for the county, and approve and execute contracts and lawsuits in the name of the county. During their terms of office, they receive compensation as full-time employees

Each commissioner has primary responsibility for one of the county's five departments and serves as an assistant in another. The five departments are communication services, health services, planning services, engineering services, and finance, administration, central purchasing, and personnel. Their responsibilities rotate each year.

The board meets at 9:00 a.m. each Monday and Wednesday in the first floor meeting room at the Centennial Center Complex, 915 10th Street, Greeley.

The County’s Home Rule Charter specifies another elected body, the County Council. This non-partisan, elected group provides oversight and public comment to the commissioners.
