Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Daniel T. Murphy was elected in November 1974, as the
first Oakland County Executive and took office in January, 1975; and

successful tenure as Oakland County Executive deserves enduring recognition.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners urges that a portion of State Highway M-59 within the borders of
Oakland County be re-named the Daniel T. Murphy Highway and that legislation
to accomplish this designation be introduced in the State Legislature.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that when legislation designating part of
M-59 as the Daniel T. Murphy Highway is enacted, the State Transportation
Department shall provide for erection of suitable markers indicating the name
change.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to
all Oakland County Legislators and to the County's Legislative agent.
