The judge of the county court serves as the principal executive officer of the county and may establish divisions of his or her office to carry out any jurisdiction of the county court or duties assigned by county ordinance.

Further, the county court may appoint advisory committees to assist in the formulation of policy for any department of the office. However, confirmation by the county quorum court of advisory committees so appointed or the oath of office is not required; and

(2) OTHER EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE COUNTY. As established by the Arkansas Constitution, the organization of county offices shall include:

(A) The office of treasurer;

(B) The office of county clerk, as may be provided by law;
