Miscellanesou Resolution 83091 March 31, 1983
BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE-John E. Olsen, Chairperson
RE: OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL 4211
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, for several years the City of Romulus and the Wayne
County Board of Road Commissioners, which operates Metro Airport, have been
unable to resolve a dispute over the amount of airport concession revenue that
should go to the City of Romulus; and
WHEREAS, due to the inability to resolve this local dispute,
Representative Mahalak of Romulus, at the urging of city officials, introduced
FIB 4211 which would remove the airport concession exemption from taxes that
lessees now have; and
WHEREAS, HB 4211 in effect would force lessees or users of real
property for concessions in all Michigan airports to be subject to taxation as
though these lessees or users were the actual owners of this real property; and
WHEREAS, Representative Mahalak has introduced this same legislation
in the past without success because legislators generally are not receptive to
changing a state law to resolve a single local dispute; and
WHEREAS, the General Government Committee has concurred with the
recommendation of the County Airport Committee to oppose HB 4211.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners take a position in opposition to HB 4211.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent
to all state legislators representing Oakland County and to the County's
legislative agent.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee,
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
