By: Mr. James Carey
IN RE: NOTICE OF AMENDMENT TO BY-LAWS, RULE XII, SECTION 5
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Your Cooperative Extension Service Committee has been reviewing the statement
of basic functions of the Committee as set forth in Rule XII, Section 5, of the By-Laws
which reads as follows:
COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE
To provide liaison between the Extension Agents of the County and the
Board of Supervisors, to study and make recommendations to the Board
of Supervisors on matters involving the agricultural interests of the
County, including general supervision and control of 4-H, Home
Demonstration and Consumer Marketing activities, the Cooperative
Extension work of Michigan State University, bureaus of the state or
federal government designed to aid the agricultural interests of the
County, appropriations of money to aid the agricultural interests of the
County.
Because of the County's population growth, and the shift from agricultural to
urban living, your Committee believes that the statement of its functions should be
revised to reflect the resulting change in the scope of activities of the Cooperative
Extension Service.
Therefore, in accordance with Section 1 of Rule XXI, notice is hereby given
that the Cooperative Extension Service Committee recommends that the statement of its
functions be revised to read as follows:
COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE
To provide liaison between the Cooperative Extension Service of Michigan
State University and the Board of Supervisors. To guide and encourage the
educational programs of the Extension Service to gain major benefits for
the people of Oakland County. To have general supervision and control
of the Oakland County 4-H activities. To assist in coordinating the efforts
of the state or federal government designed to aid the agricultural interests
of the County and in the conservation of natural resources.
