IN RE: CIVIL DEFENSE CONTROL CENTER
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Preliminary plans and cost estimates for construction of a Civil Defense Control Center
were presented and discussed at a joint meeting of the Ways and Means, Buildings and Grounds
and Civil Defense Committees on December 1, 1960. These plans, prepared by the Department
of Public Works, are for a Civil Defense Control Center 80 ft. x 120 ft. in size which includes
9600 sqo ft. at an estimated cost of $25.00 per sq. ft. The preliminary estimate is $240,000.00
for the building plus $182,400.00 for equipment.
The Civil Defense Committee contemplates that the costs would be shared equally
between the County and the federal government under the federal matching program for civil
defense construction.
The proposed Control Center would be located on the west side of the County Service
Center near the northerly boundary of the County owned property.
The plan for the Control Center was reviewed again at a joint meeting of the Ways
and Means and Buildings and Grounds Committees on January 5, 1961 and a resolution was
adopted recommending that the matter be tabled until such time as the federal government
clarifies the civil defense program. This resolution was adopted on 11 yea votes and 1 nay
vote of the joint Committees
Your Committees anticipate that the new Congress may take some action which may
assist the Board in determining whether or not further expenditures for this project are
warranted.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I offer the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED that plans for erection of a Control Center for Civil Defense at the
County Service Center be tabled.
