Do all counties have the same type administrative operations?  There has been “talk” periodically of using a county manager.  Would this help in Jefferson County or would it add another layer in county government?  Come to the January LWVGB meeting to hear about Shelby County’s experience with hiring a County Manager to oversee department operations while the Commissioners serve as the County’s board of directors.

Ted Crockett, Shelby County Commissioner, will discuss the issues the county grappled with and how they successfully phased in a County Manager.
