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 elected Board of County Commissioners. The 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 state gasoline taxes and
license plate fees. Other major sources of revenue are a contract
with the Michigan Department of Transportation to maintain State
Highways within the County, contributions from the 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 at the Central Service Center in
St. Clair Township and three sub-garages located in Capac, Avoca, and
Marine City. The Commission employs approximately 110 people. |
