The County Executive serves as a non-voting, ex-officio member of each committee of the county legislative body and of each board, commission, or authority of the county government; shares administrative tasks with the other constitutional and statutory county officials; and interacts with other county officials in almost every area of local government.

The County Executive is a member of the Board of Directors of the development district and human resources agency of which the county is a part. In this, and in other ways, the County Executive is often viewed as a representative of the county or as the county's leader in dealings with other governmental entities.
