Government services are provided to the citizens of Fayette County by a complex network of city, county, state, and federal agencies. It is usually not difficult to distinguish federal government services, and, typically, state services are fairly easy to separate from county and city services.
In many instances, the Board of Commissioners only has jurisdiction over matters concerning citizens and property located in the unincorporated portions of Fayette County.
For example, the rezoning of property inside any one of the municipalities is handled solely by its Mayor and Council, with the Board of Commissioners having no involvement in the process. Another example is that of annual operating budgets. The County Commission adopts an annual budget to fund county services, but has no involvement in the adoption of any budget of any municipality.
That being said, however, County Government does provide many services to all citizens of the county, including those living inside its municipalities. To complicate matters even further, several county departments are headed by other Constitutional Officers. These elected officials manage their own departments and may or may not adhere to policies established by the Board of Commissioners. A Mayor and Council is a body of elected officials responsible for governing a town or city municipality.
Each municipality has an elected Mayor and Council responsible for providing municipal services and making decisions that affect only their citizens. These bodies have no input into what happens in areas of the county that are not incorporated into their respective municipality. Mayors and Council members are elected into office only by voters inside their municipality.
Members of the Board of Commissioners are elected by all voters in the county, including those living inside towns and cities. County Commissioners are required by law to provide certain basic services and facilities to all citizens. Municipalities may choose to provide additional services or to augment services provided by the county.
In Fayette County, each of the five municipalities has different types and levels of services and different arrangements with the county concerning services. There are many services that the County Government does provide for all citizens of the county. To name a few, the list includes the court system and related services, jail and detention services, public safety services to some municipalities; significant public works services, some code enforcement services, a considerable amount of recreation activities; library services, tax assessment and collection for all municipalities and the Board of Education, and other services.
