RE: SEMCOG - 20TH ANNIVERSARY
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, recollection of the 1960's brings to mind the many changes which
were taking place in our Nation; some were lively protests to break ties with
past practices, others were quiet, studied undertakings to plan for the future;
and for local government the time for separatism was past - individual communities
could no longer exist in isolation - technology and urbanization had arrived;
and
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, recognizing the need
for abroad planning process and a unified regional voice with which to speak
to the Federal Government, joined in the Metropolitan Fund, Inc. study to
determine how best to create such a forum; and
WHEREAS, Oakland County is proud of its participation from the inception
of the Metropolitan Fund Study, through the Committee of One Hundred, to the
formation of the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments, and is prouder
still of having one of its Supervisors, William "Larry" Mainland, elected to
lead the original 103 local units of government, as the first Chairperson of
SEMCOG; and
WHEREAS, the accomplishments of SEMCOG, through the dedication of its
members and staff over the past twenty years gives us further reason to be
proud of our initial support in the formation of this Council and our continuing
commitment to its future.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby proclaim commendation to the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments
and its staff, on the occasion of its 20th Anniversary, for its outstanding
efforts on behalf of the entire seven-county region it represents.
Mr. Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
