BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE-John E. Olsen, Chairperson
RE: House Bill 4957 (SUPPORT) Providing That the State Share
Construction Costs of County Jails on a 50/50 Basis with Counties
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, House Bill 4957 provides that if a county constructs, reconstructs
or renovates a jail to increase the bed capacity then the state will share the
cost of the project on a 50/50 basis with the county; and
WHEREAS, this legislation, which must first receive approval of the House
Appropriations Committee, could prompt extensive jail construction activity that
otherwise would be on "hold" because adequate funding was not available; and
WHEREAS, Sheriff Nichols has reviewed House Bill 4957 and supports the
bill, noting that it would be particularly helpful to Oakland County because of
the proposed new jail construction projects.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
takes a position supporting House Bill 4957.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all
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.
