BY: Mr. Ingraham
IN RE: 1965 LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM - SUPERVISORS INTER-COUNTY COMMITTEE
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Supervisors Inter-County Committee has presented to this Board for consideration
a seven-point Legislative Program which are repeat proposals from 1964,
Your Legislative Committee has made a study of these proposals and now recommends
approval of the following items:
1. Social Welfare Legislation:
(a) Mentally Ill Persons - State reimbursement to counties for hospitalization
of patients prior to final commitment and admission to State hospitals.
(b) Tubercular Patients - Increase State contribution for care and treatment
to equal 50% of the State-wide average per-patient-day cost.
(c) Afflicted Adults - Amend the Social Welfare Act to provide that
hospitalization costs for afflicted adults shall be included in the State welfare
matching formula.
(d) Social Welfare Formula - The Committee recommends that the State
shall match direct welfare, including administrative costs and medical care
facilities, on a 50/50 basis until such time as the county reaches 1 mill
expenditure on State equalized valuation, at which point the State shall
assume the entire direct relief expense.
2. Recording of Deeds by Governmental Units. Legislation to provide that any
governmental unit (including the State) acquiring title to property must notify the assessing
officer or record the deed prior to December 31st of the year of acquisition.
3. Amendment to remove the requirement that warrants and claims must be published
by the Board of Supervisors.

4. Legislation which will permit the County Board of Supervisors, as they see fit,
to pay a per diem to the members of all commissions and boards appointed by the Board of
Supervisors.
5. Amendments to Fee Schedules of County Officers:
(a) Increase fee for secret marriages.
(b) Increase fee for change of name.
(c) Increase fees for registration of unrecorded births.
Your Committee supports in principle the amending of the Watercraft Control and
Safety Act as proposed by the SICC Government Research Sub-Committee
Your Committee also concurs in the following support proposals:
A bill to repeal Act No. 322, P.A. 1941, in order to remove
from the statutes the law which relieves the federal government
from tax responsibility on property purchased and which has taxes
due on said property.
Your Committee did not approve the Inter-County Supervisors recommendation
relating to Veterans Funeral Expenses because the County of Oakland is presently paying
the $200.00 reimbursement upon a showing that the funeral and burial expenses are
$1,000.00 or less.
MR. CHAIRMAN, on behalf of the members of the Legislative Committee, I
move that the foregoing recommendations be approved and that a copy of this resolution
be forwarded to the Supervisors Inter-County Committee and the Michigan State
Association of Supervisors.
