Bill Allows For County Commission Reorganization
(INDIANAPOLIS) - County commissioners could be replaced with a single county executive under a bill passed by the House.
The change would only happen if voters and the commissioners themselves decide to make the reorganization. The bill allows a county's three commissioners to begin the process of replacing the board of commissioners with a single person to handle the county's executive functions.
The county council would become the legislative branch of county government, and would continue to handle financial duties.
If commissioners approve reorganization, the decision would then have to be affirmed by voters in a referendum. If approved, the change would occur four years later, so the earliest a county could change would be 2012.
