of Oakland County's share of state gas and use tax revenues, an increase in the
state gasoline tax, or other initiatives, all requiring varying degrees of
legislative approval, "something must be done"; and
WHEREAS, the Michigan Department of Transportation has initiated a highly
successful program of inviting volunteer organizations to sponsor or "adopt"
small stretches of road, with visibly beneficial results; and
WHEREAS, no southeastern Michigan county has presently adopted a similar
program for county roads.

hereby supports the concept of an "Oakla ounty Adopt-A-Road Proqram." --,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the 0 land Coun B f-Nr.,gmm i iSsoners

initiate such a program and /5—solicit the participation of local governments,
c---/- businesses, service —0ro anizations, and individual members of the public.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
