MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION # 91297
BY: RUTH A. JOHNSON, COUNTY COMMISSIONER, DISTRICT #1
IN RE: SB 522 (OPPOSE) AMENDMENT TO GOEMAERE-ANDERSON WETLAND
PROTECTION ACT
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the Senate of the State of Michigan is currently
considering in committee Senate Bill No. 522, a bill to amend Sections 3, 8,
and 21, of Act 203 of the Public Acts of 1979, entitled,
"Goemaere-Anderson Wetland Protection Act"; and
WHEREAS, this proposal would pre-empt all existing wetlands
protection and/or preservation ordinances by local units of government; and
WHEREAS, this proposal would prevent enactment of new wetlands
protection and/or preservation ordinances by local units of government,
thereby ignoring special and unique conditions and needs to which only a
local governmental body can be sensitive; and
WHEREAS, this proposal would cancel existing law requiring the
Michigan Department of Natural Resources to solicit remarks and comments
from local units of government on wetlands development applications.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners opposes enactment of Senate Bill 522.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board opposes any and all
proposals, either legislative or administrative, which attempt to erode the
spirit and intent of the Goemaere-Anderson Wetland Protection Act.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to
all State Legislators from Oakland County and to the Legislative Agent.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
#91297
