Miscellaneous Resolution # 86175
BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE - John E. Olsen, Chairperson
IN RE: SUPPORT OF HOUSE BILLS 4895 AND 4896 WHICH PERMIT BOARDS
OF COMMISSIONERS TO REDUCE ROAD COMMISSIONER TERMS TO
4 YEARS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, existing law specifies that members of County Road Commissioners
shall serve terms of 6 years; and
WHEREAS, all other state and local officeholders, other than the judiciary,
have terms of office of 2 or 4 years; and
WHEREAS, a 6-year term for County Road Commissioners appears to be
unwarranted and excessive when compared to the term structure of state and
local public offices; and
WHEREAS, responsiveness in office is likely to be greater if the term of
office were 4-years rather than 6-years.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commis-
sioners supports House Bills 4895 and 4896.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all
State legislators 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.
