Board of Commissioners
The County Board of Commissioners is the governing board and policy
making body of County Government. The Board consists of seven members
who are elected from single-member districts and serve a two year term.
Partisan elections are held on the first Tuesday of November of
even-numbered years. The commissioners elect a chair and
vice-chair during their first meeting in January.
Primary functions of the Board include development and adoption of
the annual County budget; development and approval of County policy;
monitoring of County expenditures; adopting equalization of tax
assessments; setting compensation of elected officials, appointed
officials and county employees; appointing members to boards and
committees; reviewing and adopting grants; establishing new programs and
terminating existing ones; and assisting local units of government among
other activities.
The Board holds two business meetings each month. These
meetings are held on the first and
third Thursdays of the month (with the exception of April).
An Equalization Session is held on the third Tuesday in April of each
year. An Annual Session is held on the first Thursday in October
of each year. The meetings are held at 7:00 pm in the Board Room,
third floor of the County Building, 315 West Green Street in Marshall,
Michigan.
The Board of Commissioners makes a number of citizen appointments to
Boards and Committees which deal with areas of interest from Health and
Safety to Economic Development and Juvenile Justice. If you are
