REPORT
IN RE: Res. #7504, Additional Probate Judge for Oakland County
BY: Public Services Committee-Hubert Price, Jr., Chairman
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Based on a report by Probate Judge Adams, the current workload of the Oakland
County Probate Court mandates an additional judge position.
It should be noted that in 1980, when the County "officially" has a population
greater than 1,000,000, it will be required to have six probate judges. The addition
of a fifth probate judge at this time will allow the Oakland County Probate Court to
more effectively discharge its caseload,
The Public Services Committee recommends the approval of the additional Probate
Judge for Oakland County.
The Public Services Committee, Hubert Price, Jr, , Chairman, moves the acceptance
of the foregoing report.
