All of Nevada's county-equivalents (16 counties plus Carson City) are governed by an elected Board of County Commissioners that holds combined legislative and executive power, with size varying by population. There's no separately elected county executive. A resident would check the county clerk's office for meeting agendas and public records. One quirk worth knowing: Carson City is not a county at all but a consolidated city-county government, a one-off arrangement rather than the statewide pattern.
