- County Board Chair & County Administrator
- Standard structure — an elected Board Chair plus a professionally appointed (not elected) County Administrator; no County Executive office found anywhere for this county. Board Chair: Pat Schreiner. Vice Chair unconfirmed (stale/inconsistent sources, not guessed). County Administrator: Lance Leonhard (confirmed current as of Aug. 2026). LOWER CONFIDENCE: the county's own site blocked all automated fetch attempts; findings are triangulated from search snippets and secondary local news rather than a direct primary-source read.
