To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS for more than 40 years, PA 169 of 1970, has enabled local governments to choose to

WHEREAS the Oakland County Historical Commission dedicated to historic preservation supports the
current and future designated local historic districts under PA 169 of 1970; and
WHEREAS the County has a long history in supporting the Oakland County Historical Commission and the

WHEREAS the County actively supports local history, historic neighborhoods and commercial centers;
and
WHEREAS legislation was recently introduced in Lansing in the form of House Bill 5232 and Senate Bill
720 that would amend current legislation in regards to local historic districts and will negatively impact
historic resources, local historic districts, and local government ordinances, processes and budgets; and
WHEREAS these changes will impede the existence of currently designated local historic districts and will
severely curtain local municipalities' ability to designate local historic districts in the future; and
WHEREAS these amendments pose an immediate threat to the continued preservation of Oakland
County's many invaluable historic resources.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners joining together with
the Oakland County Historical Commission, hereby declares their opposition to House Bill 5232 and Senate
Bill 720, and offers their support for the currently enacted legislation, PA 169 of 1970.
