The   Board   of   Commissioners   is   the  governing  board  and  policy-making  body  of  County   government.   While  many  of  its  power,  duties and responsibilities are  prescribed  by  law,  and  diffused  through  the wide-spread use of commissions, boards,  committees,  and   independently  elected  county  officers,  the Board is in charge of developing and approving County policy setting the county budget. 

Nine  Commissioners  are  elected to  two-year terms  on  a  partisan   basis  from  single   member  districts.   Regular  sessions  of  the  Board  are held on the second and the fourth Tuesdays of each month at 9:00 a.m., and  at  such  other  times and days as may be established.  Committee meetings of  the  Board  are  held  on  Tuesdays  and  Wednesdays  of  each  week,  and subcommittees meet throughout the week.

Jon Care, Board Coordinator, provides general administrative and liaison support for the Board of Commissioners,  coordinates  Board  Committee   Meetings,  and  maintains  committee   files.    The   Coordinator    assists   the  Board  and County  departments with analysis  of  legislative  matters  at  the   state  and  federal  level.   In addition,  the  Board   Coordinator   serves  as  FOIA Coordinator  for   Genesee   County.    The   Coordinator  is  directly  responsible  to  the  Board of Commissioners.
