BY: Mr. Levinson
IN RE: CANCELLATION OF ASSESSMENTS - FUNDS EXPENDED FROM
DRAIN REVOLVING FUND
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
At the last meeting of the Board the Drain Committees recommendation for
cancellation of expenditures from the Drain Revolving Fund in the amount of $30,950.80
was referred to the Ways and Means Committee. The list of the various drains and the
funds expended on each are listed in Miscellaneous Resolution No. 3862.
Your Ways and Means Committee reviewed this matter with the Drain Commissioner
on October 30, 1961. Under an amendment to the Drain Law levies for drain maintenance
may not be accumulated for more than a 2-year period. Since all of the items listed in
the report filed by the Drain Committee were expended prior to September 1959 there is
no way to legally recover these funds. Likewise, on the expenditures for drain projects
which were commenced but not completed there is a 5-year limitation and, since all of
these expenditures were made more than 5 years ago e it is not legally possible to recover
them.
Your Committee finds that the present Drain Commissioner is not responsible for
failure to spread back these drain expenditures.
It is recommended that funds expended from the Drain Revolving Fund for the drain
projects as set forth in Resolution No. 3862 be written off and deleted as proposed by the
Drain Committee.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I offer the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED that funds expended in the total amount of $30,950.80 from the
Drain Revolving Fund for the drain projects listed in Miscellaneous Resolution No. 3862
be cancelled.
