About the Role of Judge/Executive:
The Judge/Executive is responsible for running the executive branch of the county, including overseeing day-to-day operations and managing its departments and personnel. The Judge/Executive also has a vote as a member of the Fiscal Court-the county's legislative arm. The Livingston County Fiscal Court has five members-the Judge/Executive and four magistrates, each representing their own geographical district. The Fiscal Court is responsible for handling the budget and passing ordinances. Many of the Judge/Executive's powers require the Fiscal Court's approval (through a majority vote).
Ideally, the Judge/Executive job has another critical component-serving as the county's ambassador on the local, regional, state, and federal level. In this role, he or she establishes and maintains relationships with other agencies and governments.
Detailed and specific duties and functions of the Judge/Executive can be found in KRS 67.710.
