Miscellaneous Resolution No. 7039
By: Dr. Joseph R. Montante
Re: Clinton River Flooding Problem
To: Oakland County Board of Commissioners
March 20, 1975
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners by several Miscellaneous
Resolutions directed the Oakland County Drain Commissioner to establish
the normal heights and levels of many Clinton River lakes upstream of
the Dawson Mill Pond, and
WHEREAS, the Circuit Court of the County of Oakland did issue
its various orders establishing the legal normal heights and levels of
said lakes, and
WHEREAS, extensive flooding occurred in the spring of 1974
upon the many Clinton River lakes upstream of the Dawson Mill Pond Dam,
which is controlled by the Department of Public Works of the City of
Pontiac,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners, recognizing that the danger of severe flooding upon
said lakes is again imminent, urge the City of Pontiac to open the
control gates of the Dawson Mill Pond to maximize the flow of water
within the boundaries of the existing riverbed, to avoid the needless
repeat of last year's catastrophe.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the foregoing Resolution.
