IN RE: SUPPORT OF A NINE MEMBER NON-PARTISAN BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMIJSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners is on record in support
of a nine member Board of Commissioners; and
WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of all the residents of Oakland County to
have each member elected from nine equally populated areas so as to give equal access
to all levels of county government; and
WHEREAS, due to a past history of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners,
partisan political turmoil regarding appointments denies the concept of equal access
to all levels of government.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
go on record in support of a NON-PARTISAN Board of Commissioners from nine equally
populated districts.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to all
Oakland County Legislators and the Governor of the State of Michigan for needed
changes in the State Law to implement this resolution.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
