TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairpeson, Ladies and Gentlemen:

taking of evidence and to issue cease and desist orders; and

Bill 5152 opposes the bill in its present form and proposes these
amendments: (1) that the authority of plat review and approval remain
at the county level and be done by elected officials responsible to the
people, and (2) that all investigatory powers of the Department of
Commerce "plat administrator" be deleted.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners supports the amendments proposed by the
Oakland County Plat Board.
