Miscellaneous Resolution # 82136
By General Government Committee - Wallace F. Gabler, Jr., Chairperson
in re: Support of Substitute for House Bin #4150 (H-2) R-1, Amendment to
School Code Dealing with the Collection of School Property Taxes
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Substitute for House Bill #4150 (H-2) R-1 would amend the
school code to give local and intermediate school districts the option of collecting
taxes themselves in the summer or of requesting county treasurers to do it for them
in the event that cities and townships refuse; and
WHEREAS many small cities and most townships have consistently refused
to collect school taxes in the summer, which has worked in combination with the
state aid formula to force an alarmingly large number of school districts to
borrow money so that they can open in the Fall; and
WHEREAS estimates are that in fiscal 1981-82 Michigan school districts
will borrow approximately $650 million against anticipated property tax revenue
and will pay about $80 million in interest; and
WHEREAS this legislation would provide a solution to this problem by
assuring that summer tax collection would be made and that school districts,
which do not perform the collection themselves, would reimburse the city, town-
ship or county treasurer for the entire cost of the summer collection,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners goes on record as supporting House Bill #4150 (H-2) R-1.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to
Oakland County's legislative representatives in Lansing and the legislative agent.
MR. CHAIRPERSON, on behalf of the General Government Committee,
I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution,
