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 directo.
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's own listing for the September 9 joint session describes it as an informal meeting with the Cascade County Commission, the Great Falls City Commission and local and regional legislators and candidates — a meet and greet rather than a decision-making session.
The County Sheriff reports to the City Commission from time to time under the petitions and communications item — Sheriff Jesse Slaughter did so at CityCommission2025-01-21 and CityCommission2025-04-15.
