  • Rules of Greenville County Council As of January 22, 2008 1

    Jan 22, 2008

    ·Greenville, SC
    Other

    This document establishes the Rules of Greenville County Council effective January 22, 2008, governing the structure and operations of the council's leadership and staff. The Chairman, elected by Council members at the initial January meeting following each general election for a two-year term, presides over all meetings and executes ordinances, resolutions, contracts, and official documents on behalf of the Council and County Administrator. A Vice-Chairman, also selected for a two-year term at the initial January meeting, presides when the Chairman is absent; if both offices are vacant, the Council member with the most uninterrupted service acts as Chairman Pro Tempore. The Council employs three key staff positions—a County Administrator (the administrative head of County government), a Clerk (who records and maintains journals of all Council proceedings), and a County Attorney (licensed to practice law in South Carolina)—all of whom serve at the pleasure of the Council and cannot be members of Council.
