The Center is owned and operated under a Joint Powers Agreement by five counties; Madison, Fremont, Jefferson, Clark and Teton. A seven-member Facility Board oversees the operation of the Center. Voting members of the board are one county commissioner from each of the five counties. Advisory and ex-officio members are a sheriff and a magistrate judge from one the five counties.

The 5C board of commissioners meets quarterly, unless special meetings are required. Notice of meetings and agendas will be posted below.
