IN RE: OPPOSITION TO LEGISLATION COMBINING AMENDMENTS
IMPLEMENTING THE WAYNE COUNTY CHARTER WIT-. irn:ENDMENTS
TO ACT 139 OF THE PUBLIC ACTS OF 1973
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies, and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland and Wayne Counties are the state's two largest
counties, both having the County Executive form of government; and
WHEREAS Oakland County opted for the County Executive form of
government in 19711 under the provisions of the newly adopted state law
known as Act 139 of the Public Acts of 1973 and has requested and had
enacted needed amendments to Act 139 as required over the years, while
Wayne County voters adopted their charter which provides for the County
Executive form of government on November 3, 1981, and it is apparent that
numerous bills implementing the charter have been and will be needed to
affect the charter; and
WHEREAS Oakland County, having existed under Act 139 for nearly
ten years, has its County Executive form of government in place and will
seek changes in the law only when there is a need; and
WHEREAS to confuse the distinct differences in the operating formats,
fiscal status, and population growth patterns between Oakland County and
Wayne County may create unnecessary difficulties.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners takes a position opposing any legislative action that would
combine amendments to Act 139 and legislative acts to implement the Wayne
County charter without adequate input from the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to
all members of the state legislature from Oakland County and the County's
legislative agent.
Mr. Chairperson, I move 1,he adoption of the foregoing resolution.
