Organizational Structure
The District operates through a group of existing County agencies (i.e., Partner Agencies), to maximize “economies of scale”, meaning rather than creating a whole new organization, staff at the existing agencies can perform their agency directed work but also work on behalf of the District. Partner Agency roles are defined to leverage specialized capabilities and/or legal authorities in specific areas. The Hamilton County Engineer’s Office serves as the overall District’s administrator, while Hamilton County Conservation District (HCCD), Hamilton County Public Health (HCPH), and Hamilton County Planning and Development (HCPD) serve as Partner Agencies, working together to perform permit compliance activities. District policy and decision-making is guided by an Oversight Board, which meets four times per year. These meetings are open to the public.
