IN RE: REQUEST ACCOUNTING OF LAWSUIT BY THE DRAIN COMMISSIONER
AND THE ROAD COMMISSION
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, it has come to the attention of the Board of Commissioners that
the Drain Commissioner and the Road Commission have expended funds from their budgets
for legal action against the Act 139 form of government; and
WHEREAS, both of these agencies sources of funds are from user taxes and
user fees; and
WHEREAS, such funds are levied or collected, only for specific purpose,
program or function; and
WHEREAS, the expenditure of such funds by the Drain Commissioner and the
Road Commission for legal action against a voter-approved form of government appears
to be inconsistent with the purpose for which these funds are collected; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners has an overall responsibility to monitor
the proper expenditure of any such funds.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Drain Commissioner and the
Road Commission submit a written report within thirty (30) days to the Board of
Commissioners on the source and amount of funds expended for legal action against the
Act 139 form of government.
Mr. Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
