Miscellaneous Resolution
John H, Peterson, Commissioner District #6
Re: Road Improvement Funds Allocation
To The Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr, Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Whereas, on January 27, 1977, the Oakland County Chapter of the Michigan
Township's Association adopted a resolution as follows: "—the., .Association supports
the road improvement program recently proposed by the Oakland County Road Commission
and urges the Oakland County Board of Commissioners to approve it with $500,000 of
Oakland County fura ing, in lieu of $250,000 as drafted.", and
Whereas, Resolution #7791 addresses the appropriation of only $250,000 for road
improvements, and
Whereas, the record breaking severe winter just experienced promises a county road
disaster with the spring break-ups and it is the responsibility of effective government to
anticipate such problems before they become emergencies; and
Whereas, the cost of private and public vehicle repairs, including repairs to 5chooi
buses, may well exceed the cost of unattended road improvements, and
Whereas, no other public service expenditure of public funds affects more individual
zens of Oakland County than that for road improvements, and Oakland Cok.P4,Y;...
should accept as on obligation the participation with local townships and the Road Commission
to provide reasonable arteries for safe vehicular movement,
Now Therefore Be it Resolved that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners amends
the current budget to include an additional $250,000 for road improvements in 1977 to be
allocated according to the expressed needs of local government units and with final
expenditure subject to approval by the Planning and Building Committee, and subject to
availability of matching funds from local units of government and the Oakland County Road
Commission,
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
