FISCAL NOTE
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, G. WILLIAM CADDELL, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION 482127 - PAYMENT OF PRINTING COSTS
FOR SPECIAL ELECTIONS IN SENATE 16TH DISTRICT AND IN HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES 69TH DISTRICT :
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XI-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has re-
viewed Miscellaneous Resolution 482127 and finds that the County has not
paid special election cost in the past and therefore there are no County
funds available for said purpose.
Further, the Finance Committee recommends that the local agencies
seek reimbursement for their election costs from the State Legislature.
