IN RE: An Amendment to the Bylaws of MAC
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr, Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Michigan Association of Counties is an organization formed
for the purpose of improving county government; and

of Counties formulates a united policy on issues and concerns relative to county
government and the services and programs that county government provides its
citizens; and
WHEREAS while it is vitally important for Michigan Association of Counties
Committees to have adequate resource persons available for input, the final
decisions on county platforms and policy should be left to those county officials
elected and responsible to the people who elected them; and
WHEREAS the present committee structure permits the appointment of
non-elected persons and persons not affiliated with county government to Michigan
Association of Counties committees.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby goes on record supporting an amendment to the bylaws of
the MAC which would permit only elected county officials to serve as official
voting members of the MAC Committees.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the
Saginaw County Board of Commissioners and the Michigan Association of Counties.
The General Government Committee by Robert H. Gorsline, Chairperson,
