Members (from right to left)
Overview
In December, 1971, a local act of the legislature changed the form of government in St. Clair County to provide for a chairman and four associate members (commissioners). The chairman and four members of the County Commission are elected county-wide for four years with each commissioner to be a resident and qualified elector of one of the four districts in the county. The Commission operates under a unit system of government which gives the county a more efficient method to utilize the manpower, materials, equipment and finances of the county highway department.
