   The County Board of Commissioners is the governing board and policy-making body of county government. While many of its powers, duties, and responsibilities are prescribed by law, the board is in charge of development and approval of county policy. One of the main duties of the board is to set the budget of the county. Commissioners are elected to a two-year term in one of five districts in Roscommon County.  Meetings are conducted every second and fourth Wednesday of each month at 10 a.m. Workshops begin at 9 a.m. Unless otherwise posted, all meetings are conducted in the Board Room of the County Building at 500 Lake St. in the Village of Roscommon.
