According to the Association of Minnesota Counties, “County commissioners are elected officials who oversee county activities and work to ensure that citizen concerns are met, federal and state requirements are fulfilled, and county operations run smoothly.”
Commissioners plan a budget to provide services that the state delegates to county level government. Services include county roadway maintenance, human service programs such as food stamps and medical assistance, and overseeing the number and payment of county employees.
