Miscellaneous Resolution #
BY: General Government Committee, Robert H. Gorsline, Chairperson
IN RE: Opposition to House Bill #4102, Amendments to Procedures for Establishing
Special Assessments for Drainage Projects
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS House Bill #4102 prescribes procedures for establishing special
assessments for drainage projects, adding more requirements for public hearings before
a Chapter 20 drain can be petitioned by a unit of government; and
WHEREAS some of the added requirements would be almost impossible to meet
and the additional hearings seem unnecessary; and
WHEREAS the bill was obviously drafted to meet local problems outside Oakland
County but its impact, if passed, would create problems throughout the state and would
weaken the effectiveness of the Drain Code and make construction of drains more
difficult without any real benefit to anyone; and
WHEREAS the language of the bill applies only to drains financed through
special assessments and this method of financing is generally not used in Oakland
County.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
go on record as opposing House Bill #4102.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all state
legislators representing Oakland County and to the county's legislative agent.
The General Government Committee, by Robert H. Gorsline, Chairperson, moves
the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
