How are county board of social services members appointed?
A county board of social services may have either three or five members. Most county boards have five members. On a five member board, two members are appointed by the State Social Services Commission, two are appointed by the board of county commissioners, and one is appointed by a majority vote of the other four members.[1] The same formula applies for appointments to a three member board. One member is appointed by the State Social Services Commission, the second is appointed by the board of county commissioners, and the third is appointed by the other two members. If a majority cannot agree on the third or fifth member, the appointment is made by the senior regular superior court judge of the county.
