There was considerable opposition to the creation of Bay County from elected officials in both Saginaw and Midland counties. In 1854, a bill introduced to the state legislature to create Bay County was defeated by a small majority. </p><p>In 1857, a new bill was introduced into the legislature. After initial opposition from the representatives of Saginaw and Midland counties, a compromise revision that would present the matter for ratification to the voters of "in said county" was passed by the legislature on February 17, 1857. The matter was put before all the voters of Saginaw and Midland counties and was soundly defeated. However, the population within the boundaries proposed for Bay County approved the measure. The bill passed by the legislature included phrasing, which was deliberately included by the Bay City lawyer Chester H. Freeman, that allowed Bay County to claim ratification. Under the act, the county was to become effective April 20, 1857. </p><p>Residents of Bay County held elections for county officials in June 1857. However, Saginaw County did not recognize the organization of the new county government. In the winter of 1858, Freeman secured passage of a bill in the legislature that would have confirmed the organization of Bay County. But the bill was vetoed by the governor. However, a case that went before the <a href="/wiki/Michigan_Supreme_Court" title="Michigan Supreme Court">Michigan Supreme Court</a> in its May 1858 term settled the matter. In the case, a defendant was tried in a Saginaw County court, but filed a plea for <a href="/wiki/Abatement_in_pleading" title="Abatement in pleading">abatement</a>, claiming that the supposed offense was committed in Bay County and was not in the jurisdiction of the Saginaw County court. Freeman had represented the defendant and prepared arguments, but became incapacitated due to illness. At the request of Freeman's wife, Colonel <a href="/wiki/William_M._Fenton" title="William M. Fenton">William M.

This format provides for an elected County Executive who, as chief administrator, has influence over all departments, except those headed by other elected officials. In that manner, the County Executive appoints and supervises all department heads. It is the duty of the County Executive to coordinate all county activities and unify the management of county affairs, enforce all orders, rules and ordinances passed by the Board of Commissioners and all laws enacted by the state. In addition, the County Executive must submit to the Board of Commissioners a recommended budget each year. The county government operates the <a href="/wiki/County_jail" class="mw-redirect" title="County jail">jail</a>, maintains rural roads, operates the major local courts, keeps files of deeds and mortgages, maintains <a href="/wiki/Vital_records" class="mw-redirect" title="Vital records">vital records</a>, administers <a href="/wiki/Public_health" title="Public health">public health</a> regulations, and participates with the state in the provision of welfare and other social services. The <a href="/wiki/County_commission" title="County commission">county Board of Commissioners</a> controls the budget but has only limited authority to make laws or ordinances. Bay County has a Board of Road Commissioners, which consists of three commissioners who are elected and serve six-year staggered terms (one road commissioner elected every two years). The Board is the policy-making body of the Bay County Road Commission and is responsible for establishing budget priorities and managing the annual budget.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In Michigan, most local government functions — police and fire, building and zoning, tax assessment, street maintenance, etc. — are the responsibility of individual cities and townships. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Elected_officials">Elected officials</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bay_County,_Michigan&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Elected officials"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th><b>Office</b></th> <th>Incumbent</th> <th>Party </th></tr> <tr style="color:black;background-color:#B0CEFF"> <td><a href="/wiki/County_Executive" class="mw-redirect" title="County Executive">County Executive</a></td> <td><a href="/wiki/James_A._Barcia" class="mw-redirect" title="James A.
