Authority

The powers, duties, and responsibilities of the Macomb County Board are established by Michigan law and the county charter approved by voters in 2009. Committees include the Finance/Audit/Budget, Government Oversight, Internal Services, Public Safety and Records, Health and Human Services committees.
Previously made up of 26 members with both administrative and legislative control of county departments and budgets, the Board was reduced from 26 to 13 members in January 2011, when a new county charter was enacted and Macomb County's first Executive was elected to oversee administrative functions.
