Boards and Commissions
Our department is associated with several boards in the State of Michigan that keep the Downriver community clean, organized, and business oriented. We are in contact with the boards below every month to ensure progress in our region. Community members involved in each meeting stand by our official motto - Omnis auctoritas populo est , "all power belongs to the people".
