Assessment of the Organization and Management Functions
The Jefferson County Commissioners Court has established a management
system whereby each commissioner is assigned a group of departments for which they
act as liaison. Exhibit 3-2 shows how the departments are assigned to each
commissioner. The county has three departments that are assigned not to a single
commissioner, but to the Commissioners Court as a whole. These departments include
the Court Master, Engineering and the Historical Commission.
