REPORT
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE - LAWRENCE R. PERNICK, CHAIRMAN
IN RE: MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION ff7617 - CLINTON RIVER FLOODING
TO: OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Finance Committee has reviewed Misc. Resolution #76I7 requesting the
U. S. Corps of Engineers to take necessary action for the correction of the
Clinton River flooding conditions.
It does not appear that there will be any immediate financial obligation
to Oakland County nor is it possible to establish future financial implications
at this point in time due to the complexity of the problem and the possible
contributions from those communities adjacent to the flood area.
However, the Finance Committee recommends that any program developed by
the Corps of Engineers requiring County participation be approved by the Oakland
County Board of Commissioners prior to implementation,
The Finance Committee, by Lawrence R. Pernick, Chairman, moves the adoption
of the foregoing resolution.
