The Board of County Commissioners of CascadeCounty — three commissioners elected by district. The Commission Office is in the Courthouse Annex, 325 2nd Avenue North, Room 111.
Members as posted by the County: Joe Briggs, District 1; James L. Larson, District 2, chairman; Eric Hinebauch, District 3.
The County posts agendas and minutes in its own Agenda Center, in a Cascade County Commission series that carries regular meetings, Commission Work Sessions, special meetings and hearings. It is a busier series than the City's — dozens of dated rows a year, covering everything from an election canvass to interviews for a department director.
Items visible in the 2026 series include the primary election canvass on June 16, alcohol tax funding updates and FY27 funding requests on May 28, special meetings to interview for the Aging Services Director position in July, and a joint informal meeting with the Great Falls CityCommission and local and regional legislators and candidates on September 9 — which appears on the City's calendar as well, as a special work session on September 9, 2026.
Commissioner Briggs sits on the CityCountyHealthBoard as the County Commission's appointee.
The County Sheriff holds a standing item on the City Commission agenda under Community Initiatives. Sheriff Jesse Slaughter reported at CityCommission2025-01-21 (legislative testimony, the jail booking facility); at CityCommission2025-04-15 the item was recorded as "None."
