Decatur County is governed by an elected body collectively known as the Board of Commissioners. The Board meets regularly in a public forum, to discuss, receive input on, and vote on, current "open" issues. The County's administrative staff and day-to-day operations are managed by County Administrator Tom Patton who works closely with the Board of Commissioners to ensure that effective communication is maintained between the Board and the staff.

The Board of Commissioners meets twice a month, on the second and fourth Tuesday. Each meeting is held at the County's Administrative Office building at 203 W. Broughton St. in Bainbridge and is open to the public. The meeting on the second Tuesday of each month is held at 9 a.m. and the one on the fourth Tuesday of each month is held at 7 p.m. For those wishing to speak at a commission meeting, or present an issue to the commission, there is a requirement that requests to speak be submitted to the Decatur County offices in writing at least one week prior to the scheduled meeting at which the person wishes to speak, so that the meeting agenda can be properly planned. Also, a citizen may sign-in with County Clerk Beverly King before the beginning of each meeting but the speaker will be limited to five minutes when addressing the Board of Commissioners during "Public Participation" phase of the agenda.

Decatur County Commissioners, Administration, and Departments feel bragging rights are due us today for the honor bestowed on our own Human Resources Director, Marjorie Mayfield!Last night the Pilot Club named Mrs. Mayfield “2011 Woman of the Year” and presented her with a plaque and trophy which lists the names of women who have been given this honor since 1961.
Being involved in community service is part of who Marjorie is.She represents the County professionally by working to bring opportunities that will help residents find and keep employment.She participates with groups that help businesses address employment needs.Whether it’s United Way, Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce, the Little Theatre or her church, she gives 100% until completion of any project she takes on.Having instilled stewardship toward community service in her family, you will often find them working side-by-side with her.
One thing that makes us so unique is that many Decatur County residents believe they have a role to play in making our community better. People like Marjorie who put the overall good of others ahead of their own concerns are an encouragement to others.Congratulations and thank you, Marjorie, for your service beyond the call of duty!
