BY: Mr. Yockey
IN RE: ;INTERIM REPRESENTATIVE ON DETROIT WATER BOARD
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:-
At the last meeting of the Board a letter from the Detroit Board of Water
Commissioners was referred to your Special Water Committee for study. This fetter,
dated November 16, 1959, invites Oakland County to appoint a representative to
attend the weekly meetings of the Board of Water Commissioners, such representative
to be authorized to make observations at such meetings, familiarize himself with the
operations of the Water Board, and to participate in the discussions of such meetings
to the end that such representative may thoroughly familiarize himself with the plans
and the operation of the Board of Water Commissioners.
Your Special Water Committee met and reviewed this matter carefully and found
that there are several units in the County which should have a voice in the selection of a
representative from the County to the Detroit Water Board. A meeting to bring together
the various interested groups is planned in the near Future by your Committee.
A resolution was adopted by the Committee at a meeting held on January 7, 1960,
recommending that this Board authorize the Chairman to make an interim appointment at an
early date, such representative to serve until a meeting of the various interested communities
can be held and a determination made by them as to the method of selection of a representative.
Mr. Chairman, I offer the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED that the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors be authorized to
make an interim appointment of a representative of the County to the Detroit Board of Water
Commissioners, to serve at the pleasure of the Chairman, and until such time as a method of
selection of a representative can be worked out with the cooperation of the various units
and agencies which have contracts to buy water from the City of Detroit.
