COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the State of Michigan
has recently approved annexations of large tracts of land by simple resolution
of the affected city councils and the approval of the Michigan Boundary
Commission; and WHEREAS this annexation process could counter many thousands of
dollars and many years of planning effort represented in local and regional
master plans, local zoning ordinances and capital improvement programs; and
WHEREAS townships have been forced to choose between incorporating as cities or
losing tax base; and WHEREAS said choices may not be in the best interest of-
the cities? townships or citizens involved; and WHEREAS the criteria being used
for this action is established in Act 242, PA 1978 and judges if a township
provides complete urban services; said criteria completely ignores some facts
and is subjective in other areas; and YVHEREAS the population of Oakland County
is over one million people and the townships of Oakland County have over 41% of
that population; and WHEREAS the townships of Oakland are large urban townships
and either provide or have plans to provide most urban services as needed by
their residents; and WHEREAS Senate Concurrent Resolution #350 calls for a
moratorium on annexation and incorporations in Oakland County until such time
the ramifications of annexations and incorporations can be studied and
recommendation formulated to ensure the best interest of the Oakland County
citizens are assured. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners supports SCR #350 and urges its adoption by the House of
