Licking County Commissioners

Licking County Commissioners Rick Black
Timothy E. Bubb
Duane H. Flowers County Commissioners must understand the responsibilities of each of these other county office holders.

All functions of County Government, and the public's expectations that county government works, depend greatly on the actions and authority of Ohio's Boards of County Commissioners. Every elected official - the sheriff, judges, prosecuting attorney, treasurer, auditor, clerk of courts, engineer, coroner and recorder - rely on County Commissioners for funding. This knowledge allows the Commissioner

s to allocate federal and state funds, and local tax revenue to these other offices using careful budget oversight. Ohio's Boards of County Commissioners were created by the state legislator and may only perform functions authorized by state law. Yet, as this picture of modern-day county government reveals, the responsibility of County Commissioners to make government work locally has grown larger than ever before.

Did you know? In each of Ohio's 88 counties there is a juvenile court and a separate probate court, both of which are divisions within that county's common pleas court. In the majority of Ohio's counties, the probate judge serves also as the juvenile court judge. Today we will focus on the Juvenile Court and tomorrow we will tell you about the Probate Court.

Juvenile courts in Ohio were not created statewide until around 1906. Today, juvenile courts have jurisdiction to hear cases of alleged delinquency, unruliness, juvenile traffic offenders; juvenile to***co offenders; cases of alleged child abuse, neglect and dependency usually initiated by a county children services agency when children have been removed from their homes because of their condition or environment; and private complaints for custody. Juvenile courts also have jurisdiction to hear certain adult criminal cases (misdemeanors only) such as criminal non-support, contributing to the delinquency or unruliness of a child, child endangering and sexual imposition when the stated victim is a minor child. All adult criminal cases heard by a juvenile court are open to the public.
