Miscellaneous Resolution, #14285
BY: Commissioner Boo Hoffman, District #2
RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS — CALLING UPON HOLLY TOWNSHIP OFFICIALS TO MAINTAIN
POWER SERVICE TO THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1055 SOUTH HOLLY ROAD
TO: Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the ownership and legal residence of Timm and Maria Smith at 1055 S. Holly Road in Holly
Township is the subject of a longstanding and ongoing legal dispute; and
WHEREAS the Township of Holly has cut off the power supply to the Smith family in the past and are
threatening to do so again; and
WHEREAS the Township of Holly has forced the Smith family into difficult living conditions in an
ongoing effort to evict the Smith family and seize this property; and
WHEREAS the Smith family is currently residing on private property in their ownership with power
supply provided by Consumers Energy despite the opposition of Holly Township officials; and
WHEREAS the Smith family is contesting the Township's seizure of a portion of their property and their
ongoing documented efforts to make the remaining portion unusable in the courts; and
WHEREAS Holly Township has requested and been denied a land split by the Equalization Department;
and
WHEREAS until such time as court makes a final determination on issues related to the property at
1055 S. Holly Road it would be inhumane and unfair act to attempt to deny the Smith family power
supply; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners calls upon the
Holly Township Board of Trustees to cease efforts to deny power to the Smith family at 1055 South
Holly Road until such time as a final verdict is reached by the courts.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the County of Oakland is directed to submit a copy of this
resolution to the members of the Holly Township Board of Trustees and to Timm and Maria Smith of
1055 South Holly Road in Holly Township.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing Resolution.
