RESOLUTION
BY: Mr. Fred W. Smith
IN RE: ANTICIPATED LEGISLATIVE CHANGES AS A RESULT OF 1960 CENSUS
TO: THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr, Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen;
WHEREAS, the 1960 federal census will be taken in the not too distant
future, and
WHEREAS, many of the statutes which regulate and control County affairs are
limited to certain population minimums and maximums based upon the federal decennial
census, and
WHEREAS, it appears that Oakland County may in all probability have a population
in the neighborhood of 750,000, and
WHEREAS, such a parulation determination will leave Oakland County withovf
benefit of the aforesaid statutes, or in many cases, if the statutes are allowed to remain as
they presently exist without amendment, they will work a hardship on the County of Oakland;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislative Committee of the Board of
Supervisors be directed to conduct a study to determine what statutes will have to be
amended in order to maintain the status quo of the County and back to t:lc ;1:-,K:rd of
Supervisors in sufficient time so that any proposed amendments may be enacted by the
Legislature prior to the effective date of the census.
MR. CHAIRMAN, on behalf of the Ways and Means Comm;i te, I move the
of the foregoing resolution.
