History:
Road
Commissions in Michigan are created and funded by State Law as
independent governmental entities charged with the responsibility of
maintaining a road system reasonably safe for the motoring public.
The first meeting of the St. Clair County Board of
Road Commissioners was held in Port Huron Michigan on Wednesday, June
18, 1913.
We are directed by a three-member policy-setting
board. One board member is appointed every two years to a six year term by
the St. Clair County Board of Commissioners. The Road Commission Board
also serves as the County Board of Public Works. The
Road commission's largest source of revenue is the Michigan Transportation Fund
derived from motor fund taxes, vehicle registration and license fees.
Other major sources of revenue include a contract with the Michigan Department
of Transportation to maintain State Highways within the County, contributions
from the County's 23 townships, and an annual appropriation from the County
Board of Commissioners. The organization is divided
into four districts with the Administration and main garage located at the
Central Service Center in St. Clair Township, and three sub-garages located in
Capac, Avoca, and Marine City. The Road Commission & DPW employ
approximately 92 people.
