Miscellaneous Resolution # 90268
BY: General Government Committee
Richard G. Skarritt, Chairperson
RE: (OPPOSE) Senate Bills 380 and 381, Creating a State Remonumentation
Program Funded by Increased Fees
TO: THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 380 would establish the State Survey and
Remonumentation Commission in the Department of Commerce and prescribe the
Commission's duties, which would include coordinating the maintenance of land
survey records and preservation of information obtained from surveys made by
authorized persons, and
WHEREAS, SB 380 would also require each county to establish a plan
for the monumentation or remonumentation of the entire county within 20 years
and would mandate the Commission to create a model county plan; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 381, which is tie-barred to SB 380, would create
the State Survey and Remonumentation Fund and impose an additional $4 fee on
all county register of deeds recordings with $2 going to the Fund and $2
earmarked for county general funds; and
WHEREAS, these bills passed the Senate in substitute form on May 19,
1990, and are in the House Committee on State Affairs where they may be
considered before the end of the year; and
WHEREAS, following discussion of this legislation, after receiving
input from Clerk-Register Lynn Allen, the General Government Committee
recommended opposition to SB 380 and 381 because (1) it is doubtful Oakland
County really needs this legislation; (2) an amendment will likely be proposed
and adopted in the House Committee to sunset the $4 fee in 1994, thus creating
a funding void for most of the 20-year period and imposing an unknown cost
burden on counties.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners opposes Senate Bills 380 and 381.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the
Oakland County Legislators and to the County's Legislative Agent.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
