Lei <br />Councilwoman <br />Hawaii County <br />Hawaii County Building <br />Hilo, HI 96720 <br />Dear Councilwoman Lei: <br />This letter is in response to your letter of December 21, requesting in- <br />formation on charter counties with the administrator form of government. <br />Enclosed are copies of six counties' whose charters describe the duties <br />of the administrator: Juneau,•Sitka, Alaska; Fresno, Sacramento, San <br />Mateo, California; and Talbot, Maryland. <br />Also enclosed is an article from the magazine of the Association of <br />County Commissioners of Georgia. The article describes the different <br />types of managers in Georgia. <br />Several states have included the duties and responsibilities of an <br />administrator or manager in their enabling legislation. I have enclosed <br />copies of some of these statutes. Enclosed are Alaska, Florida, New <br />Mexico, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Carolina, and Pennsylvania, state <br />statutes. <br />The duties and responsibilities of an administrator are delegated and <br />expanded by the governing board. The charters of San Mateo and Sacra- <br />mento, California and Talbot, Maryland detail their administrative of- <br />ficer's duties more fully than the other charters. <br />If you wish to contact these counties, I have enclosed a copy of the <br />NACo affiliate's directory of administrators. <br />If I may be of'further assistance, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />• <br />LKG/gvf <br />Enclosure <br />Linda K. Ganschinietz <br />Research Associate <br />
