Miscellaneous Resolution #
BY: Robert W. Page, County Commissioner, District #13
IN RE: OAKLAND COUNTY 1979 BUDGET REVIEW
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr, Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the upward trend in the number of employees added to the rolls
and the concurrent increase in dollars expended has reached a level of $75,000,000
in 1978, and
WHEREAS the continual annual increase in County expenditure should be
arrested if government is to contribute effectively toward the battle to control
inflation, and
WHEREAS services to the citizens who are minors, elderly or physically or
emotionally disadvantaged should be given the highest budget priority while reductions
should come from services to those who can best do for themselves, particularly in
those delivery systems which are least cost effective, and
WHEREAS there exists a number of uncertainties with respect to the impact
of current ballot proposals on the County Budget,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the level of expenditure for the
County be established at a base not to exceed the 1978 level or actual
expenditures, whichever is lower,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the "zero base" budgeting concept be applied
in the current budget reviews to ensure that activities expending county tax dollars are
productive and cost effective.
Robert W. Page, move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
