- To provide for the borrowing of money.
- To acquire, construct, maintain and administer property, buildings and other public improvements.
- To accept gifts, bequests and grants on behalf of the County.

- To authorize the county executive to employ consultants.
- To adopt procedures for contracting and purchasing by competitive bidding.
- To adopt the Tax Budget and Annual Appropriation Resolution and to exercise control over expenditures. This can involve the adoption of a monthly or quarterly allotment schedule.
