| Description | The government of Knox County, Tennessee operates under a home rule format. The county administrator, formerly known as the County Executive, is called the County Mayor. There is also an elected County Commission. The county officials' districts do not correspond with those of the city of Knoxville, which has its own mayor and city council.
The County Commission meets in regular session on the Fourth Monday each month in the Large Assembly Room of the City-County Building. Special meetings are sometimes scheduled. All meetings are open to the public, and the time and adequate public notice must be given prior to all special meetings. Should the meeting fall on a legal holiday, the meeting is held on Tuesday of that week. |
