RE: SOLID WASTE-LOCAL UNIT REIMBURSEMENT FOR LANDFILL
TESTING
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS on August 17, 1989 the top-ranked sites for landfill
siting were released by Rogers, Golden and Halpern; and
WHEREAS after release of said selected candidate sites certain
mathematical errors were discovered in the findings of the
consultants; and
WHEREAS such changes have caused undue delays in the
process; and
WHEREAS those delays have caused serious negative results on
personal lives, emotions, real estate values and proposed and potential
development; and
WHEREAS to expedite the process some potential host
communities have initiated tests which the county has deemed
necessary; and
WHEREAS said tests and procedures have been initiated solely in
response to being named as a potential Oakland County landfill site;
and
WHEREAS such large unanticipated expenditures are creating an
enormous burden on the citizens of these communities.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners does hereby authorize the Oakland County Department
of Public Works to reimburse the townships, at an amount not greater
than the county would have to expend, for all tests and test result
information of which the county and/or its consultants have requested
or make use of in the ascertainment of site specific information on the
candidate landfill sites.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing
resolution. „„/
