Is the position of County Commissioner in Fayette County a full-time job?
No. County Commissioners in our county are not full-time employees of our county government. County Commissioners are typical Fayette County citizens who have other professions as a livelihood and perform their duties as elected officials on a part-time basis. They manage their Commission responsibilities through a series of monthly meetings and public hearings, individual interaction with citizens, special assignments, and through their local Office which is staffed with full-time, highly-trained individuals prepared to assist the public with issues related to the responsibilities of County Commissioners. In growing counties such as Fayette, the number of hours each week that County Commissioners devote to their official roles can be quite significant.
