BY: Mr. Ingraham
IN RE: REPORT ON REFERRED LEGISLATIVE ITEMS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Since the meeting of the Oakland County Board of Supervisors on February 8,
1966, numerous items of legislative interest have been referred to your Legislative
Committee for consideration and recommendation.
At its meetings on February 14, 1966 and March 8, 1966, your Legislative
Committee considered such items and herewith reports as follows:
1. H.B. 2869,which would provide for compulsory arbitration for labor disputes
between public employer and public employees where parties fail to accept previous
private arbitration, was opposed by your Legislative Committee for the following reasons:
a. Counties cannot be compared to private industry, whereby private
industry must accept results of arbitration or go out of business; counties must
maintain a level of services and cannot go out of business,
b. Income of counties is necessarily limited by tax allocation.
c. Such legislation would tend to deny counties the determination
of how to spend tax monies.
2. H.B. 2795, dealing with Probating Estates, allows the Probate Court to charge
a schedule of graduated fees as an expense of administering the gross estate of deceased
persons. This item, being 8,B of the 5.1,C.C. 1966 legislative program, was referred
by this Board to your Committee and copies of this bill were distributed today to all
members of this Board.
Your Legislative Committee reiterates its previous support of H.B. 2795 as
contained in the S.I.C.C. 1966 legislative program.
3. H.B. 2768, being item 14 of the S. I.C.C. 1966 legislative program and
referred by this Board, deals with a change in the Probate detention language.
The Probate Court has advised that it is of the opinion that the new change in
language as proposed is too liberal and would endanger the constitutional rights, in some
cases, of persons brought before the Probate Court.
Your Legislative Committee reiterates its previous position of no support for H.B. 2768.
4. H.B. 3113, which would provide that counties having tract index systems could
only provide such services to abstract companies that are in contractual agreement with
such counties, contains provisions that would tend to stifle competition and is not in the
best interests of the County.
Your Legislative Committee recommends opposition to H.B. 3113 as written.
It should be noted that action on proposed amendments has been tabled pending
a study of such amendments to H.B. 3113, or a substitute bill if it is so introduced.
5. Your Legislative Committee recommends denying support to the Kalamazoo
County resolution which favors, in principle, the adoption of an appropriate law providing
for the performing of chemical tests for intoxication of motor vehicle drivers, when
investigating police officers have reasonable grounds to believe such person to be under
the influence of intoxicants.
6. A referral from the Home Rule Study Committee recommending direct opposition
to H.B. 2774, which deals with reapportionment of County Boards, was concurred in by
your Legislative Committee.
A more detailed report on the reapportionment legislation will be made this morning
by the Home Rule Study Committee.
7. Your Legislative Committee recommends support of H.B. 3327, which sets determination
of value of certain personal property, for tax purposes, on the installed acquisition cost
and establishes the depreciation schedule thereafter, after tax year 1966, on a straight
line basis.

8. H.B. 3266, which would increase the salaries of Court Reporters to a minimum
of $10,000 ($12,000 in some circuits, such as Oakland County), was opposed for essentially
the same reasons as opposition to H.B. 2869, the compulsory arbitration bill, and further
your Legislative Committee opposes, as a matter of policy, the State setting salaries for
counties that the State does not pay.
However, an amendment considered at a later meeting was accepted, such
amendment would provide that the State pay $3,000 of the proposed salary increase to
Court Reporters.
MR. CHAIRMAN, on behalf of the Legislative Committee of the Oakland County
Board of Supervisors, I move the adoption of the foregoing report and the recommendations
contained therein, and that this Board approve forwarding a certified copy of said report
to all Oakland County Legislators.
