county commission
Regional governing body
A county commission is the elected governing body of a county in many U.S. states, typically handling local matters like roads, zoning, budgets, and public services.
Members are called county commissioners.
The structure varies by state—some counties use other names like board of supervisors or county council for essentially the same function.
