IN RE: SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENT MEMBERSHIP FEES .
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the voters of the State of Michigan adopted the Tax Limitation
Admendment which limits growth in taxes on existing property to the increase in the
General Price Level or 7.7% for 1980; and
WHEREAS, the limit in tax growth h accomplished through millage adjustments
rather than adjustments in State Equalized Value (SEV); and
WHEREAS, the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG) assesses
the County dues at a rate of .0016% of SEV; and
WHEREAS, the assessing of membership fees based on SEV may result in a greater
increase than the increase in the General Price Level, thus defeating the voters' intention.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Oakland County limit its SEMCOG
membership fees increase to 7.7% for 1980, equal to the increase in the General Price
Level; defined by the Tax Limitation Amendment as the Consumer Price Index for the
United States as officially reported by the U.S. Department of Labor.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Oakland County limit its annual membership fees
increases after 1980 bettivattal to no more than 75% of the increase in the General Price
Level defined by the Tax Limitation Amendment as the Consumer Price Index for the USA
as officially reported by the U.S. Department of Labor.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all County
Boards of Commissioners within the SEMCOG region, as well as the SEMCOG Council.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
