RE: SPREAD OF COUNTY ALLOCATED MILLAGE
BY:
TO: THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Tax Allocation Board has allo-
cated to the County of Oakland 5.26 mills; and
WHEREAS, the assessed valuation of the County of Oakland as
equalized by the State of Michigan continues to rise; and
WHEREAS, althaugh the millage rate has remained the same
for the two years last past, the Oakland County taxpayers are pay-
ing more tax dollars because of the increase in the assessed valuation
and because of the factors added to the local tax rates by the
requirements of the State Tax Commission; and
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners is con-
cerned about the seemingly uncontrolled tax increases; and
WHEREAS, the ongoing cost of government is continually
increasing; and
WHEREAS, each year the Board of Commissioners review the
amount of money that may be raised by the spreading of the allo-
cated millage and the ongoing cost of government to spread only
the amount of taxes to insure orderly and efficient County govern-
ment; and
WHEREAS, this Board recognizes that new programs may be needed
as the County continues to expand and desires to meet these needs,
but in an orderly and prudent fashion; and
WHEREAS, operational studies of various County departments,
are expected to result in a more efficient and economical operation
of Oakland County; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners endorses the policy of
fiscal restraint on governmental spending; and
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners believes
the Oakland County Taxpayers should be granted a reduction in
their property taxes whenever feasible.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners, when it orders by resolution the spread of the
County's millage, that said County General Fund Tax be spread at
the rate of 5.00 mills on the County assessed valuation as equalized.
