RE: FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING REAUTHORIZATION
BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
TO: OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MR. CHAIR•il, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
UHEREAS, Federal Revenue Sharing was designed to return to local government
federal tax dollars so that local needs would be better mct with miniw31 costs and
maximum results; and
WHEREAS, the President has proposed changes in the Revenue Sharing formula which
would cost more to administer and would target these revenues to areas which now
enjoy considerable categorical grant funding; and
WHEREAS, Oakland County would have to look to other forms of aid, namely
categorical grants, to replace funding lost from reformulation; and
WHEREAS, categorical grants do not offer the flexibility that Revenue Sharing
does in meeting the general needs of our public, such as police protection, increased
prosecution efforts and construction of needed facilities, like Children's Village
and the Executive Office Building; and
WEREAS, Revenue Sharing has already experienced considerable reduction through
elimination, of the States portion; and
-WHEREAS, a number of counties within NACO are actively working to safeguard
Revenue Sharing in its present format.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners go
on record as opposing any reformulation of Revenue Sharing,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if reformulation does take place, a hold harmless
provision, to protect all communities against any loss of revenues, be incorporated
in the legislation reauthorizing Federal Revenue Sharing.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Oakland County join other affected counties through
NACO or any appropriate means to promote the above stated position.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be forwarded to our
Congressional Senators and Represen tat ives
