By long-standing tradition, newly elected and re-elected members are installed, or sworn-in, on the second Monday of January following election. The chief judge of the Tenth Judicial District Court presides over the ceremonies and administers the oath of office to each newly installed member of the Board of County Commissioners. The ceremony is open to the public and is typically held at 10:00 a.m. in the Board’s hearing room at the County Administration Building.
The regular sessions of the Board of County Commissioners are held each week on Thursday beginning at 9:30 a.m. The weekly session schedule includes the voting meeting as well as formal policy review and study sessions and the presentation of various reports and other matters concerning the county government. The weekly sessions are open to the public, as provided under the Kansas Open Meetings Act. As a part of the business meeting each week, members of the public are welcome to address the Board of County Commissioners on subjects of concern that involve the county government and its service to the Johnson County community. For more information about the weekly session schedule, please contact the Clerk of the Board at 913-715-0430, or click here for more information.
