If you have questions about the Wayne County Commission, County Commission Gary Woronchak will answer them in Dearborn on July 15 at Dearborn City Hall.

The meeting with Woronchak (D-Dearborn) will begin at 10 a.m. in the City Council Chambers.

Meetings of the Wayne County Commission are usually held in downtown Detroit at the Guardian Building.  Some meetings are scheduled in individual commissioners’ districts so the public can more easily attend.

Woronchak arranged for the July 15 meeting to be held in his 13th District, which includes Dearborn, Allen Park and Melvindale.

“It’s not always convenient for residents of my district to travel downtown to see a commission meeting,” said Woronchak in a release, “so I’m glad to be bringing a meeting into the 13th District so people can see the commission do its work.”

The Wayne County Commission is the legislative branch of county government, serving as a check and balance to the executive branch, which is headed up by Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano. The chief role of a commissioner, a part-time position with an annual salary of nearly $70,000, is to adopt a budget and enact ordinances.  The commission also approves contracts and appointments. There are 15 commissioners elected in individual districts.
