This is supervisory clerical work for the Board of County Commission Office.

Employees in this class usually plan, assign and review the work of a moderate sized clerical staff engaged in clerical activities. Work may also involve assisting an administrative superior by relieving him of routine office management functions or performing specialized operational or clerical activities under general supervision. The incumbent is responsible for the proper performance of independent work decisions based on experience and knowledge of departmental operations but refers policy, complex technical or procedural matters to a superior for resolution. Work is reviewed by a supervisor through observation of operations, periodic audits of work performed, and by advice and assistance on unusual or difficult problems.
