Mission statement:

To provide a natural and social environment suitable for a variety of commercial, recreational, and personal pursuits in which people can live, work, play, grow up, and grow old, reasonably safe from crime and harm; reduce the hurt and suffering of the less fortunate, recognizing the worth of all people and the value of all elements of our heterogeneous community; elevate the trust and understanding of citizens through informed public consent, irreproachable stewardship of public resources and proactive pursuit and protection of  shared values, without undue interference in their lives; and thereby protect and enrich the quality of life of current and future generations of Grand County residents, businesses, and visitors.

Boards of county commissioners serve as both administrative and policy-making bodies for their counties.

While, generally, boards have only those powers specifically conferred by the state General Assembly, courts have held that they have such implied powers as may be necessary to carry out their specified powers.

Constitutionally, the board also sits as the county board of equalization.

The board also fills all vacancies in county offices other than those for county commissioner and for public trustee.

All powers of the county , as a legal entity, are exercised by the board of county commissioners and not by its individual members.
