detailed county solid waste management plan prior to July 1, 1981; and
WHEREAS, recognizing Act No. 641 has provisions for the county to prepare a plan; and
WHEREAS, Act No. 641 provides that should the county not wish to prepare the plan

WHEREAS, if the county, the municipalities and SEMCOG all refuse to prepare the
plan, the Department of Natural Resources would prepare the plan and the plan would
be final with or without county or municipality approval; and

WHEREAS, the notice of intent has to also indentify the designated agency which
shall be responsible for preparing the county plan; and
WHEREAS, Act No. 641 provides for a grant program of eightypercent (80%) state
funds to match the local twenty percent (20%) share to effectively carry out the planning
responsibilities designated under the Act; and

responsibilities for county-wide solid waste management planning to provide for long-term
solid waste disposal in a cost effective, yet environmentally sound, manner.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
hereby authorizes and directs the County Executive to file a notice of intent
