MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES & GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS, the County Board of Commissioners has the power
pursuant to §46.11, C.L. 1948:
To represent their respective counties and to have
the care and management of the property and business of
the county in all cases where no other provisions shall
be made;

ence to the management of the interest and business
concerns of such county, *** as they shall deem necess-
ary and proper in all matters not especially provided
for in this act or in some law of this state***."
and;
WHEREAS, the Supreme Court of the State of Michigan has
ruled that under the above statutory provision
"The general power undoubtedly has been conferred
on the county boards of supervisors *** to have the care
and management of property and business and to establish
rules and regulations in reference to the management of
the interest and business concerns of the county. It is
competent for the boards acting in good faith, to assign
space in court houses or county buildings to the respec-
tive county officials and departments and to reapportion
the same from time to time as conditions and circumstances
may require."

not conflict with the board of auditors' statutory power to have
the "immediate control" of county buildings;

ment of such space shall be made by the Board

of office space shall be made to the Board
of Commissioners;

Finance Committee to determine the availabil-
ity of funds pursuant to Rule 11C of the Rules
of Organization and Procedure of the Oakland
County Board of Commissioners.
4. The Finance Committee shall report to the
Board of Commissioners which shall either
approve or reject the request.
