Overview
Allows a county employee authorized by an adopted county ordinance to carry out specified
duties in lieu of the county Board of Supervisors (Board).
History
The powers of a county are exercised exclusively by the county Board, or agents authorized
by the Board. Statute describes the powers of the Board, which includes purchasing and
holding lands, making contracts, levying and collecting taxes and determining the budgets of
county officers. Statute dictates procedures the Board must follow when performing their
required duties. These procedures include the requirement of the Board's approval for all
plats of a subdivision of land, with exceptions. The Board has the jurisdiction to control and
oversee the water supply and resources of the county in order to protect the public's safety
and health (A.R.S. §§ 11-201, 11-269.27, 11-822, 11-823).
