The Board of Supervisors
is the legislative policy making body for Charlotte County. The
Board is made up of seven members with one member elected from
each of the County's election districts. Staggered terms have
been established for Board members to insure some degree of
continuing experience on the Board. The Board of Supervisors
considers and adopts policies regarding administration, budget,
finance, economic development, health, planning, public safety,
childcare, recreation, sanitation and waste removal. The Board
appropriates funds for all functions, including the schools,
Social Services, Law Enforcement and operation of courts. The
Board meets monthly in the Conference Room of the
County Administration Office in Charlotte Court House, Virginia.
