Miscellaneous Resolution IF 9015
BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE - Robert H. Gorsline, Chairperson
RE: SUPPORT OF SUBSTITUTE FOR HOUSE BILL 4572
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen :
WHEREAS, existing law requires cities, townships and villages to collect taxes
and then to turn over to counties and school districts their portion of the tax collection; and
WHEREAS, many cities, townships and villages are slow in turning funds over to
counties and school districts enabling them to invest these funds on a short term basis for an
interest return of as much as 11 pe;-cent; and
WHEREAS, the period the local collecting units withhold funds from counties and
school districts could cause a cash flow problem to the extent that it might be necessary
to borrow funds at a high interest rate to bridge the gap; and
WHEREAS, Substitute for House Bill 4572 would amend the existing law to require
a specific twice monthly schedule for the collecting units to submit funds to counties and
school districts, thus eliminating the delinquency that now exists in 40 of Oakland County's
49 collecting units.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
go on record as supporting Substitute for House Bill 4572.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to all
legislators representing Oakland County and the County's Legislative Agent.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, 1 move the
