County Commissioners
Commissioners’ Administrative Procedures
Carbon County is governed by a Board of County Commissioners, consisting of three elected officials who serve six-year staggered terms. Carbon County is divided into three districts each represented by a Commissioner: District 1 Bridger, District 2 Joliet, and District 3 Red Lodge (see Commissioner District Map below).
All legislative, executive, and administrative powers and duties of the local government not specifically reserved by law or ordinance to other elected official reside in the Commission (MCA 7-3-401). The Board of County Commissioners has jurisdiction and power to represent the County, has care of the County property, and manages the business and concerns of the County; the Commission has the jurisdiction and authority to perform all other acts and functions which may be necessary to fulfill the duties of the chief executive authority of the County government (MCA-7-5-2101). The Commissioners’ duties include: oversight of County expenditures, appointing non-elected department heads, administering County contracts and policies, maintaining County infrastructure, and the County budget.
