County commissioners oversee county activities and work to ensure constituent concerns are met, federal and state requirements are fulfilled, and county operations run smoothly. They represent the constituents of Jefferson County on administrative, advisory boards and commissions which provide direct and indirect county or county related services. Additionally, Commissioners Kraft-Tharp, Kerr and Dahlkemper are asked and regularly attend community events, grand openings and ribbon cuttings.

Jefferson County is working on its strategic plan for 2022 and beyond.

A strategic plan serves to set priorities, focus energy and resources, and to ensure we’re working toward common goals for the betterment of the county. This plan also keeps the county accountable for measurable outcomes and results. We will track progress so we can adapt our direction in response to ever-changing environments. This work is especially timely because we – and really the whole world – are adjusting to new COVID norms and expectations. We’re working to become even more efficient and effective.

As we begin work on the 2022 budget, we’ll use our strategic plan objectives and outcomes to guide the use of funds. Additionally, we will have federal stimulus dollars to provide services and funds to those impacted by COVID. We will leverage this assistance to get the Jeffco economy not only back up and running, but sustainable. For more about the strategic plan and the latest updates, see the Jefferson County Strategic Plan web page.

Throughout the year, the Commissioners recognize significant contributions of Jefferson County organizations, businesses, residents or events through proclamations.
