Miscellaneous Resolution 4395 December 15, 1964
BY: Mr. Lahti
IN RE: PROPOSED EXTENSION TO MEDICAL CARE FACILITY
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr % Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the County operates a medical care facility that has been considered
inadequate in size by the Social Welfare Board for some years and to which plans for an
extension have been in existence since 1946 but which have never been accomplished; and
WHEREAS as a result of alterations to the interior of the structure, dictated by
changes in the State fire regulations and other considerations, the capacity of the
facility is actually less than it was 20 years ago; and
WHEREAS due to the increase in population of the County, and the continued
increase in the number of indigent aged persons within the population, the need for
increased beds for the type of care given in a medical care facility has become acute; and
WHEREAS current legislation permits a county to levy a tax of .1 mill for the
purpose of construction;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that such a tax be levied and that the highest priority
for use of these funds, and other funds available, be given to the construction of a 200-bed
extension to the Medical Care Facility.
MR. CHAIRMAN, on behalf of your Welfare Committee, I move that the foregoing
resolution be referred to the Ways and Means and Buildings and Grounds Committees for
consideration and report back to the Board.
