The governing body of Dorchester County was established in 1970, and was known as the Dorchester County Board of Directors with terms to commence in January 1971. Upon commencement, the body was re-titled as the “Dorchester County Council."
County Council’s roles include, but are not limited to approving the annual County Budget and Capital Improvement Projects, and creating meaningful legislation by way of ordinances, resolutions and proclamations.
Unless otherwise noted, County Council meetings are held at 6:00 PM on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month. For the convenience of the public meetings are live streamed (and archived) on the Dorchester County Council Meetings YouTube page.
