BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE -
Richard G. Skarritt, Chairperson
RE: SUPPORT AMENDMENTS TO THE GOEMAE RE-ANDERSON WETLAND PROTECTION
ACT OFFERED IN SUBSTITUTE SENATE BILL 522 AND SENATE BILL 807
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MR. CHAIRPERSON, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS Senate Bill 522, as introduced September 27, 1991,
provided amendments to the Goemaere-Anderson Wetland Protection Act
that would have pre-empted local control; and
WHEREAS local governments and environmental groups registered
strong opposition to the original SB 522, prompting the Senate
Local Government and Urban Development Committee to begin working
on a revision under which local wetlands control would be retained
by municipalities; and
WHEREAS this Senate committee presented a compromise
Substitute SB 522 and a companion bill, SB 807, at its March 17
meeting and the revised legislation was supported by local
governments, environmental groups and builders; and
WHEREAS the two bills have passed the Senate and have been
referred to the House Committee on Conservation, Recreation and
Environment.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners takes a position supporting Substitute Senate Bill
522 and Senate Bill 807.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent
to all State Representatives from Oakland County and to the
County's Legislative Agent.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government
Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
