Miscellaneous Resolution # 88235 -
BY: John T. Rowland, Commissioner-District #7
RE: CONVEYANCE OF COUNTY LAND FOR CITY DEVELOPMENT
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Miscellaneous Resolution #88168 was adopted on August 4, 1988,
which offered to lease to the State of Michigan, county-owned property located
at the County Service Center, 1200 N. Telegraph Road, Pontiac, Michigan, for
the construction of a regional prison for the sum of $1.00 for a period of
ninety-nine (99) years and was amended to conform with the Finance note to
delete the words "the sum of 1.00" and inserting the words "valuable
consideration" ; and
WHEREAS, by so doing, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
implicitly indicated that said property was not needed for future expansion of
the Oakland County Service Complex; and
WHEREAS, the property immediately adjacent to the County Service Complex
is undergoing rapid commercial development of a type unprecedented in the
City of Pontiac; and
WHEREAS, additional land for such development would improve conditions
and add to the tax base for the City of Potniac and aid the overall economic
development of the Pontiac-Waterford area; and
WHEREAS, providing this assistance to the City of Pontiac would be of
little cost to county government, but be of i.ncalcuable benefits to the development
of the Pontiac-Waterford area.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that in the interest of assisting the
Pontiac-Waterford area in their efforts to expand commercial development, the
Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby offer to lease that parcel
of land which was previously offered to the State of Michigan for the purpose
of constructing a state regional prison pursuant to Miscellaneous Resolution
#88168, to the City of Pontiac for a period of ninety-nine (99) years under the
same terms and conditions as set forth therein.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
