Miscellaneous Resolution # 83240
BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE - John E. Olsen, Chairperson
RE: SUPPORT OF HOUSE BILL 4370
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS House Bill 4370 would eliminate the requirement
for Economic Development Corporations to pay the prevailing
wage and fringe benefits for work performed on construction
projects; and
WHEREAS the industrial and commercial enterprises that
avail themselves to an Economic Development Corporation are
generally small scale, new concerns; and
WHEREAS requiring higher wages and fringes could well
discourage the construction of economic development projects
and would run counter to the expressed goal of economic
development and diversification; and
WHEREAS the prevailing wage rate in Michigan is considerably
higher than that of other states so requirement of this rate
would place those concerns at a competitive disadvantage to
the detriment of the Michigan economy.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners supports House Bill 4370.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution
be sent to the State legislators who represent 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.
