Lake County Commissioners

The Lake County Commissioners represent five districts. Elected by the county at large, each serves a 4-year term. The Board of County Commissioners is the legislative branch of county government. Individual commissioners are both lawmaking officers and fiscal representatives of the county. The county manager and county attorney are appointed by the commissioners to oversee daily operations, personnel and legal matters and appoint residents to more than 30 different committees. Vacancies on these advisory boards are posted as the terms are fulfilled. The board meets the first, third and fourth Tuesday of every month. In addition, it meets in work sessions whenever necessary to discuss matters of general importance. These meetings are generally held on the second Tuesday of each month. Minutes are recorded of all commission meetings, work sessions and public hearings, and made a part of the record. Lake County Commissioners is located in Tavares, Fla.
