WHEREAS, as the second busiest airport in the State of

service around the clock; and

aircraft at Oakland/Pontiac airport and many of these travel to and
from foreign countries, particularly Canada; and

nearby airport when bound for Oakland/Pontiac, air traffic congestion
in Southeast Michigan would be reduced resulting in improved air
safety; and

provide savings in time and fuel to both traveler and air freighter;
and
WHEREAS, the Airport Committee of the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners in cooperation with the County Executive have been
working to effect customs service at the Oakland/Pontiac Airport; and
WHEREAS, the Governor of Michigan has expressed support for
the effort to bring customs service to the airport.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners supports obtaining customs service for the
