The County Mayor's duties include administering the day-to-day activities of
county government and serving as the county's chief financial officer and the
official spokesperson for Anderson County. The County Mayor also allocates
particular duties of the county to departments of his choosing and organization.
He is then responsible for appointing individuals to head and staff the
departments he creates, as well as supervising those appointees. Normally
the County Mayor is elected to a four-year term by majority vote of county
residents. However the previous Mayor resigned in January and Myron
Iwanski was appointed as Mayor by County Commission. Mayor Iwanski will
serve as Mayor until September 1, 2012 when a new Mayor elected in the
August 2012 General Election is sworn in.
The County Mayor's staff was reorganized in February to allow for more
accountability, improve efficiency and professionalism, and help focus on
dealing with some of the important challenges facing the county. The links

in the Mayor's office with a summary of duties.
