N RE: AMENDMENT TO COUNTY BUDGET
By: MARY MEAD DEARBORN
December 16, 1971
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The need for road construction funds is a fop priority item in Oakland County.
The Transportation and Aviation Committee
and the needs of the Oakland County Road Corm
eviewed the 1972 construction program
ission and voted unanimously to support
the inclusion of a budget item of $700,000 for road construction. This sum will generate
over $2,000,000 for roads during this next construction season. This construction program
has already been reviewed and approved. The loss of these funds would be a disaster to
our already inadequate road program in this county and necessitate deleting already
approved construction for next summer. The Road Commission must know that these
funds are available in order to proceed with their program.
Since there is good reason to believe that Oakland County will not receive any
additional gas and weight tax funds in time for the 1972 construction season, it is
imperative that an appropriation for roads be included in the county budget for 1972.
Therefore I move that the County budget as presented today be amended to
include the appropriation for roads and that the Finance Committee be asked to
reorder budget priorities so that the final budget adopted by this Board will include
an appropriation for roads.
MARY MEAD DEARBORN
County Commissioner, District #4
The amendment was referred to the Finance Committee. There were
no objections.
