BY: Mr. Levinson
IN RE: OAKLAND COUNTY COURT HOUSE - EAST COURT WING
EMPLOYMENT OF ARCHITECT
AUTHORIZATION OF PRELIMINARY PLANS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the original plans for the Oakland County Court House contemplated
the planned expansion of that facility through the construction of wings as such space
was needed, one of which wings (the Administrative Wing) was erected in 1962; and
WHEREAS, the growth of those County departments planned for housing in the
future East Court Wing, together with the needs for proper housing of the 7th and 8th
Circuit Judges, make the immediate construction of this facility an imperative necessity;
and
WHEREAS, a preliminary financial review of those funds which might be available
for this purpose indicates there could be sufficient funds on hand at the time of construction
to meet the costs of this project from monies presently on hand and from future statutory
and non-tax building revenues to the Building Fund;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED
1. That the Auditors, in conjunction with the Buildings and Grounds Committee,
be authorized to complete the necessary space and program studies for an East Court
Wing to the Oakland County Court House complex.
2. That the Board of Auditors be authorized, subject to the approval of the Ways
and Means and Buildings and Grounds Committees, to employ the firm of O'Dell, Hewlett
and Luckenbach, former architects of the Court House complex, to prepare preliminary
plans and specifications in accordance with the By-Laws for submission to this Board.
