Miscellaneous Resolution# 9071 August 9, 1979
BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE - Robert H. Gorsline, Chairman
IN RE: OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL 4746
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, House Bill 4746, which would permit electors in all counties of 200,000
population or less to petition a referendum as to whether County Road Commissioners should
be elected or appointed, has been introduced and referred to the House Towns and Counties
Committee; and
WHEREAS, there is a strong likelihood that this bill be amended in the legislative
process to include all counties or all counties with 1,000,000 population or less; and
WHEREAS, enactment of this legislation could result in County Board of Commissioners
losing their existing authority to appoint road commissioners; and in counties with high density
population area this legislation could result in all Road Commissioners being elected from one
section of a county.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
goes on record as opposing House Bill 4746 and directs that copies of this resolution be sent
to the County's State Legislators in Lansing and to the County 's Legislative Agent.
The General Government Committee, by Robert H. Gorsline, Chairman, moves the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.
