BY: Robert A. Button, Commissioner
IN RE: ROAD COMMISSION PROPOSAL TO PURCHASE A BUILDING IN
BEVERLY HILLS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the condition of roads in Oakland County is and has been an issue
of paramount importance; and
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Road Commission has announced its plans to
purchase a building in Beverly Hills to be used as additional, temporary office space
for Road Commission employees at a reported cost of $872,000.00; and
WHEREAS, the Road Commission has apparently taken this action without a
concerted effort to find out what properties, for both sale or lease, are presently
available in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS, there has been reported to be a glut of office space available for
both lease and sale within Oakland County; and
WHEREAS, many school districts within Oakland County have closed schools
due to declining enrollment, leaving other buildings that would perhaps be suitable; and
WHEREAS, any of these measures might be as well suited as the proposed building
for Road Commission purposes, and at considerable savings over the reported purchase
price.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
hereby expresses its strong disapproval to the Road Commission over its proposed action; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners suggests
that the Oakland County Road Commission undertake a study of available sites for either
lease or purchase within Oakland County.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
