There are seven members on the Board, each elected on a partisan basis for two year terms (January 1 to December 31) from districts that are approximately equal in population. (See map below.) Board Leadership is elected each year by the Board and consists of a Chairperson and a Vice-Chairperson. The full Board meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 9:00 AM at the Government Center. Additional Commissioner meetings are held as needed at either the call of the Chairperson or the petition of the Commissioners.  The Committee of the Whole meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 9:00 AM. Finance and personnel issues are handled at this meeting. The primary functions of the Board of Commissioners include determination of type and level of County services, adoption of County budget, equalization of property values, legislative oversight of services provided by Benzie County, and appointment of various Commissions and advisory boards.
