IN RE: MISC. RES. #6244 - MICHIGAN TOP TASK FORCE REPORT
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Local and Regional Affairs Committee reports Misc. Res. #6244 and recommends
that said resolution be amended as follows:
WHEREAS it is proposed by the State of Michigan TOP Task Force Report that Federal,
State and Local Governments shall comply with regionally adopted plans, program priorities
resulting in ultimate control of land use and zoning; and
WHEREAS local government will be mandated to finance a regional body such as the
Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG), an agency which was intended to
be voluntary; and
WHEREAS it could be required that a portion of local property tax revenue derived from
new industrial and commercial facilities in Oakland County be distributed regionwide; and
WHEREAS the audits and budgets of the County of Oakland, and the cities and townships
therein, have consistently sustained a high degree of fiscal responsibility to Oakland County citizens;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
recognize the need for a regional body such as the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments
(SEMCOG) as a voluntary agency, and no more, and we are opposed to a "super" government
concept as another layer of government.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County of Oakland, and the local units of governments
therein, shall continue to exercise their statutory powers, rights, duties and responsibilities
without infringement by any regional agency.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that copies of the foregoing resolution be forwarded to U.S.
Senators Philip A. Hart and Robert P. Griffin, Congressmen William S. Broomfield and Robert J.
/James G. O'Hara
