Government

St. Johns County is governed by a five-member Commission Board, all of whom are elected for four year terms. Each member represents a district but is elected County wide. This structure gives citizens a voice in government and provides a means of influencing decisions and policies that shape the quality of life for residents.

By definition, the Commission establishes policies and appoints a County Administrator to implement the policies and manage the operation of the County. The Commission adopts the millage rate annually and approves the budget, which determines the expenditures and revenue necessary to operate all County Departments. The powers and duties of the County Commission are established by Florida Statutes, Chapter 125.

The St. Johns County Commission is comprised of:

Joseph "Ken" Byran	District 5
Phillip Mays, PA	District 4
Mark P. Miner	District 3
Ronald Sanchez	Chair 2010, District 2
Cyndi Stevenson	District 1
