Miscellaneous Resolution # 861 72
BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE - John E. Olsen, Chairperson
IN RE: SUPPORT OF SENATE BILL 316 INCREASING STATE REIMBURSEMENT
FOR TAX REVERTED RECREATION AND FOREST LAND FROM $1.50
TO $2.50 PER ACRE
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF' COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, several Michigan counties have a substantial percentage of tax
reverted recreation and forest land; and
WHEREAS, the tax reverted recreation and forest land program severely
restricts the local property tax revenues and inhibits the ability of local and
county governments to provide needed services; and
WHEREAS, the Michigan Association of Counties has long been an advocate
of an increase in the state's reimbursement per acre to counties with considerable
land which is not providing tax revenue; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 316 would increase the state's reimbursement for tax
reverted and forest land from $1.50 to 2.50 per acre.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners supports Senate Bill 316.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution supporting Senate-
passed SB 316 be sent to all members of the House of Representatives from
Oakland County and to the County's legislative agent.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move
the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
