FISCAL REPORT
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, PAUL E, KASPER, CHAIRMAN
IN RE: BUDGET REDUCTIONS - MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #8505
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Finance Committee has reviewed Miscellaneous Resolution #8505 and finds
that the financial implications require the following actions:
1. The Board of Commissioners should review the fiscal implications of each
new program and funding proposal requested during the balance of 1978,
taking into consideration the fiscal impact of the order creating three new
Circuit Judges in Oakland County.
2, The Finance Committee will consider the intent of Miscellaneous Resolution
#8505 and the resulting impact on the county's spending priorities and
financial direction in their 1979 budget deliberations.
