Previously seven amendments have been suggested, six of which were approved by the adoption of Miscellaneous Resolution 3713. Four additional amendments are recommended and will be referred to as Items 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the County's 1961 Legislative Program. No. 8. An amendment to Act 172 of the Public Acts of 1929 (Plat Act) which will increase fees paid to the State for a new plat to $100.00 and provide for half of that sum to be returned to the County. This amendment was proposed by the County Plat Board who felt that the present $10.00 fee is wholly inadequate. New plats are considered by the Plat Board, reviewed by the County Plat Engineer, the Drain Commissioner, the Planning Commission, the County Treasurer, the Register of Deeds and then, after approval by the State, must be recorded in the Register of Deeds office. (Mr. Chairman, I move that Item 8 be adopted) No. 9. An amendment to Act 185 of the Public Acts of 1957 (County DPW Act) to permit the County Board of Public Works to acquire an airport in the County and to finance, operate and maintain such airport. This amendment was proposed by the Aviation Committee as one of the possible ways to implement the recommendations of the Inter-County Committee as reported to the Board on December 14, 1959 (Miscellaneous Resolution 3602). (Mr. Chairman, I move that Item 9 be adopted) No. 10. An amendment to Act 278 of the Public Acts of 1909 (Village Act) which would set up procedure for vacation of a village. The 1909 Act does not provide for such a procedure. (Mr. Chairman, I move that Item No. 10 be adopted) Jilliam A. Ewart Ccr—.. F. Ingraham Sernann,- C chi-Jmarl William C. Hudsott Cyril . Miner No. 11. An amendment to Act 27 of the Public Acts of 1960 to permit townships to share in the cost of contracts of group insurance for the benefit of its elected or appointed officers and employees. This amendment was proposed by the Township Supervisors. The 1960 act merely authorizes contracts of insurance and deduction from officers'or employees' compensation but does not authorize payment of any portion from township funds: (Mr. Chairman, I move that Item No. 11 be adopted) Your Committee is continuing to study several other matters which have been referred to it by various Committees and officials and may make additional recommendations to the Board at the next meeting.
