BY: GOVERNMENT & TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE-
Richard G. Skarritt, Chairperson
RE: HOUSE BILL 4413 (OPPOSE) DISALLOWS USE OF RED LIGHTS ON
ANIMAL CONTROL VEHICLES
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS county animal control vehicles presently have rotating
red lights; and
WHEREAS House Bill 4413 would disallow the use of red lights
and instead would permit the use of rotating amber lights; and
WHEREAS animal control officers often perform emergency road
duties that could be extremely hazardous if their vehicles were not
fully recognizable; and
WHEREAS there is no question that red lights are more
recognizable and provide greater safety than amber lights.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners opposes House Bill 4413.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent
to all Oakland County Legislators and to the County's Legislative
Agent.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Government & Transportation
Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
