A county commission (also known as a board of county commissioners) is a group of elected officials charged with administering the countygovernment in some states of the United States. County commissions are usually made up of three or more individuals. In some counties in Georgia and New Hampshire however, a sole commissioner holds the authority of the commission.
The commission acts as the executive of the local government, levies local taxes, administers county governmental services such as prisons, courts, public health oversight, property registration, building code enforcement, and public works such as road maintenance. The system has been supplanted in large part as disparate sparsely settled regions become urbanized and establish tighter local governmental control usually in municipalities, but in many more rural states the county commission retains more control and even in some urbanized areas may be responsible for significant government services.
History
William Penn, colonial founder of Pennsylvania is credited with originating the system of County Commissioners in the United States.
Board of Commissioners (Slovak: Zbor povereníkov, Czech: Sbor pověřenců) was an executive body of Slovak National Council.
Creation
In 1943 two Slovak National Councils were created. One was created abroad and was a body of Slovak exiles, renamed in 1948 to Slovak National Council Abroad, until terminated in 1960.
The second one was an illegal body created as a rebellious organisation against clerofascist regime in first Slovak Republic, this body is also predecessor of current Slovak parliament. At the time of its creation it exercised legislative, executive and judicial powers and therefore members of the Council issued direction which created Board of Commissioners as of September 1, 1944 in order to shift the executive powers.
Organisation
First two Boards were headed by the Presidium of Slovak National Council and agenda was administered by the Office of the Presidium of Board of Commissioners. The number of commissioners varied through its existence from 9 (in the First Board) to 17 (in the Eleventh Board). Their seat was in Banská Bystrica and the bodies carried on work until October 23, 1944. End of the Second Board had connection with Slovak National Uprising.
