WHEREAS the Charter Township of Orion has incurred the cost for these
appeals at $317,574.50 as of February 23, 1990, of which Oakland County's
share would not exceed 9.70% of the total cost or $30,805; and
WHEREAS the County has traditionally shared the cost of attorney fees
relative to the proportionate share of tax revenue jeopardized by the
subject appeal.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the County of Oakland does hereby
agree to participate with the Charter Township of Orion in sharing these
incurred costs in connection with the aforementioned property tax appeals
before the Michigan Tax Tribunal.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners appropriates
