BY: John E. Olsen, County Commissioner--District#17
Lillian V. Moffitt, County Commissioner--District #15
IN RE: UTILIZATION OF P. A. 204 TAX FUND
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies, and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners recognizes the
need for providing public transportation services for those citizens for whom
the lack of public transportation is an economic or physical hardship; and
WHEREAS the reduction in state and federal funding for public
transit will require that SEMTA make reductions to its total transportation
program; and
WHEREAS prudent management requires that such funding reduction
should be addressed by establishing priorities for public transportation service
which will least impede the mobility of senior citizens, handicapped persons,
and the economically disadvantaged; and
WHEREAS, should SEMTA receive a favorable decision from the Michigan
State Court of Appeals in the impending lawsuit (docket #66129), the P. A. 204
escrowed tax dollars would be released to SEMTA.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners strongly urges that the SEMTA Board of Directors, in the
event of receiving a favorable decision on suit #66129, use these released
tax dollars for the high-priority public transportation needs of senior citizens,
handicapped persons, and other residents who have no other access to
transportation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners strongly urges that the use of such released funds be alloce.ed
for the transportation needs within the counties in the transportation region
in direct proportion to each county's residents' contribution to those funds.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
