Administrative acts of the Commissioners shall be by written resolution or informal motion approved by a majority vote of the Commissioners. An administrative act is any action that implements or pursues a policy or plan already adopted by a legislative act of the Commissioners or that exercises authority that has been granted to the Commissioners by this Charter or by some superior state or federal power.

The Commissioners may pass resolutions by majority vote to organize and administer county business, to make declarations of policy which do not have the force of law, to request information from any other agency of government and to appoint or remove appointed officials, including the Administrator. Commissioners in passing resolutions need not comply with procedural requirements for the introduction, consideration, and adoption of ordinances.
