REPORT - February
BY WAYS AND MEANS
IN RE: PERRY STREET PAVING ASSESSMENT
TO: THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen;
Your Ways and Means Committee res ;ir,ek,-Afully reports to the Board as follows:
The City of Pontiac has forwarded a statement for a special assessment levy on County -
owned property along Perry Street for paving in the amount of $9,556.00. This assessment is
intended to cover paving costs for feet of frontage along the ferry Street frontage of the
4-H Fair Grounds.
Your Committee has been advised by the Corporation Counsel that the use which the
County is presently making of this property comes within the definition of the statute
(C. LS. 19:56 Sec. 211.7 (vi.S.k Sec. 7.7)) which exempts property held and used for
governmental and public purposes from taxation and cannot legally be paid by the County.
In view of this opinion, your Committee adopted a resolution on January 16,
that the Board of Auditors be instructed not to pay the assessment against County-owned lands
levied by the City of Pontiac for the Perry Street paving project in view of the exemption
which this property has by statute.
Your Committee has also instructed the Board of Auditors to confer with the City of
Pontiac officials relative to such assessment.
This report is made for the information of the members of the Board,
MR. CHAIRMAN, on behalf of the Ways and Means Committee, I move that the fore-.
going report be received and placed on file.
