Miscellaneous Resolution
By: Robert W. Page, County Commissioner, District #13
In Re: House Substitute for Senate Bill #1517
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, House Substitute for Senate Bill #1517 would provide
some $10 million annually in state funds to finance expansion of the road
patrol function of county sheriffs departments; and
WHEREAS, while an amendment was included in House Substitute
for Senate Bill #1517 mandating sheriffs' services only to the extent that state
Funds are provided to counties, this language could be deleted in the future
resulting in a serious financial obligation for counties; and
WHEREAS, by mandating sheriffs' departments services in townships which
already maintain and support their own Police departments, this bill imposes an added
tax obligation to residents of these townships because of the state funding provision; and
WHEREAS, passage of this bill would put the state, for the first time
in a position of funding not only the state police but also sheriffs' departments, a
situation that would inevitably siphon off funds from the state police,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners opposes House Substitute For Senate Bill #1517,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded
to the county's legislative agent and to the county's legislative representatives in Lansing.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
