MAP Commission Report

At the September meeting of the Charleston County Republican meeting, Dr. Mark Hartley presented a detailed report of the MAP Commission. The Charleston County Commission on Management, Accountability and Performance (MAP) was created by a unanimous vote by Charleston County Council in January 2004. Modeled after a similarly named state commission formed by Governor Mark Sanford in January 2003, the Charleston County MAP commission has been charged with studying county government, and recommending changes to improve effectiveness, efficiency, resource management, and responsiveness to the community.

The Commission presented its final report to Charleston County Council in August 2005; this report is available to the public, and a downloadable version is posted on the county website at www.charlestoncounty.org.

In addition to this link there is also a limited supply of printed copies available. If anyone is interested in obtaining a hard copy of this document, please contact Linda Slater at 958-4006. The report is free of charge.
