About the Racine County Board of Supervisors
The Racine County Board of Supervisors consists of 21 representatives elected to two-year terms during nonpartisan elections held each even-numbered spring. Each supervisor represents approximately 9,300 residents.
At the beginning of each term, the County Board elects one of its members to serve as Chairperson. The current Chair is Tom Kramer. The Chairperson presides over Board meetings, appoints members to standing committees and special subcommittees, and countersigns all ordinances adopted by the Board.
The Board conducts its business through committee and County Board meetings, which are open to the public. Residents are encouraged to attend and participate in local government. The Board's authority to determine policy and direct county government comes from powers granted by the State of Wisconsin to adopt resolutions and ordinances that establish county programs, services, and laws.
One of the Board's primary responsibilities is adopting the annual county budget. The County Executive presents a recommended budget to the Board, which is then reviewed by the Finance & Human Resources Committee. Following budget deliberations and recommendations, the County Board takes final action to adopt the budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
