RESOLUTION June 7, 1960 BY: Mr. Levinson IN RE: POLICY ON INCORPORATION EXPENSES TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Your Ways and Means Committee has made a study of the present policy whereby the County advances funds for expenses for new incorporation proceedings and then awaiis repayment of such advancements after an incorporation of a new city is completed. Under the provisions of Section 6 of the Home Rule City Act the County Clerk is required to "estimate all necessary expense that may be incurred by the County in the incorporation proceedings, and the Clerk thereupon shall require that the sum so estimated, which in no case shall exceed $500, be deposited with him." In order to avoid any misunderstanding about the responsibility of the County in future incorporation proceedings, your Ways and Means Committee recommends that the Board of Supervisors inform the several township boards in the County that in proceedings for the incorporation of new cities the County will advance and pay up to the amount deposited, or a maximum of $500, only the following listed costs of incorporation: 1. Cost of ballot on question of incorporation. 2. Cost of ballot for Charter Commission. 3. Registration for Charter Election (but not house to house canvass) 4. Cost of Election on Charter A.
