The
Champaign County Board has 27 members who are elected from nine
three-member districts. Board members serve staggered two- to four-year
terms. The County Board is the governing body of Champaign County
government, and provides oversight to a variety of offices and agencies
important to all Champaign County residents. For example, the Board
oversees all of the Courthouse offices, such as the State's Attorney,
Public Defender, Circuit Clerk, and County Sheriff. In addition,
the Board manages the Champaign County Nursing Home. There is also
a County Highway Department, County Zoning Department, and County
Clerk's office.
All
County departments and agencies have budgets and policies which
must be approved by the County Board. The County Board also hears
zoning cases. One of the County Board's most vital functions is
making appointments to other boards, such as the Mass Transit Board,
Forest Preserve Board, Mental Health Board, and Sanitary District
Board. In addition, the County Board has the authority to enter
into intergovernmental agreements with other units of government
on projects such as the extension of Windsor Road.
