PILOT LOCAL ROAD IMPROVEMENT MATCHING FUND PROGRAM
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Oakland County Government recognizes that Michigan law places the primary responsibility for road
funding on the State and non-county local units of government. However, the County also recognizes
that the law does permit a limited, discretionary role for the County in assisting a road commission and
local units within a county by supporting some road maintenance and improvement efforts.
Accordingly, for many years Oakland County has voluntarily provided limited assistance to its cities,
villages and townships (CVT's) and to the Road Commission of Oakland County (RCOC) by investing in a
discretionary Tr-Party Road Program. Authorized under Michigan law, the County's tri-party funding
contributions primarily facilitate safety improvement projects on CVT roads under the jurisdiction of the
RCOC. By law, tri-party funds cannot be used to fund projects on roads solely under the jurisdiction of
CVT's.
Recognizing a continuing need to better maintain local CVT streets and roads, yet being ever mindful of
the County's limited responsibility for and jurisdiction over non-county roads and streets, Oakland
County Government wishes to pilot a discretionary program that is more flexible than the current Tr-
Party Road Program, one that will allow Oakland County to assist its cities and villages with maintenance
and safety projects on non-county roads.
Not being the funding responsibility of County government, local CVT roads generally cannot be
maintained or improved using county funds because doing so would be considered to be the "gifting" of
County resources. However laudable the purpose, Michigan law generally forbids the gifting of
government resources. To avoid application of the constitutionally-based gifting restriction, the state
legislature must, and in this arena has, determine that a public benefit results from a taxpayer
investment, one that provides a quid pro quo sufficient to avoid application of the gifting prohibition.
Here, the legislature has determined that the economic development benefit presumed to accrue to a
county as a result of local street and road investments can provide a sufficient quid pro quo to county
taxpayers justifying a discretionary county investment in a non-county road, a benefit that constitutes a
fair exchange for value and not a gift.
This legislative determination is set forth in 1985 P.A. 9, which amended 1913 P.A. 380, by adding a new
section 2, which in pertinent part provides:
"(1)...A county may grant or loan funds to a township, village or city located within that county
for the purpose of encouraging and assisting businesses to locate and expand within the
county...
(2) A loan or grant made under subsection (1) may be used for local public improvements or to
encourage and assist businesses in locating or expanding in this state, to preserve jobs in this
state, to encourage investment in the communities in this state, or for other public purposes."
Communities that wish to attract, retain and grow business, retain jobs and encourage community
investment, needs a safely maintained road infrastructure. This road infrastructure must include both
residential and commercial roads as workers and consumers need to get to and from work, shopping,
schools and recreation. In a fiscally prudent and limited manner, the County wishes to help its cities and
villages accomplish this objective by test-piloting a new local road improvement matching fund program.
Any such program must be mindful of the limits imposed under Public Act 9. One important restriction
Public Act 9 imposed on grants or loans made pursuant subsection 2 of the Act is the mandate that, "A
grant or loan under this subsection shall not be derived from ad valorem taxes except for ad valorem
taxes approved by a vote of the people for economic development." This means that funding for an
expanded local road assistance program cannot utilize proceeds from any of Oakland County's ad
valorem tax levies since no levy has been approved by voters specifically for economic development.
Given this limitation, it appears that the state statutory revenue sharing appropriated to the County can
provide a non-ad valorem source of funds that legally can be used to support the pilot program.
Competition for those funds, which are limited in amount, is fierce and their yearly availability is subject
to the state legislative process. In the recent past, the State stripped all of those funds away from
Michigan counties. Understanding that reality, it shall be the policy of the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners that the Board shall not appropriate any county funds for a local road improvement
matching fund program for non-county roads in any year where the State of Michigan fails to
appropriate statutory revenue sharing funds to Oakland County in an amount sufficient to allow the
County to first prudently address its core functions.
Act 9 imposes additional conditions on grants and loans. These include requirements that the loan or
grant shall be administered within an established application process for proposals; that any grant or
loan shall be made at a public hearing of the county board of commissioners and that the Board shall
require a report to the county board of commissioners regarding the activities of the recipient and a
report as to the degree to which the recipient has met the stated public purpose of the funding.
Understanding all of the above, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby establishes the
following Pilot Local Road Improvement Matching Fund Program:
PROGRAM SUMMARY
The Board of Commissioners establishes a Pilot Local Road Improvement Matching Fund Program for
the purposes of improving economic development in Oakland County cities and villages. The County
intends this Program to assist its municipalities by offering limited matching funds for specific, targeted
road maintenance and/or improvement projects on roadways under the jurisdiction of cities and
villages.
A city or village participating in the Local Road Improvement Matching Fund Program shall match any
fund authorized by the Board of Commissioners in an amount equal to a minimum of 50% of the cost of
the total project award. County participation shall be limited to a maximum of 50% of the cost of the
total project budget. Funding shall be utilized to supplement and enhance local road maintenance and
improvement programs. Funding is not intended to replace existing budgeted local road programs or to
replace funding already committed to road improvements.
PROJECT GUIDELINES
Program funding shall be utilized solely for the purposes of road improvements to roads under the
jurisdiction of local cities and villages. Road improvements may include, but not be limited to, paving,
resurfacing, lane additions or lengthening, bridges, or drainage as such improvements relate to road
safety, structure or relieving congestion.
Program funding:
May be utilized to supplement a local government's matched funding for the purposes of receiving
additional federal transportation funding;
May not be utilized to fulfill a local government's responsibility to fund improvements to state
trunklines;
Shall be limited to real capital improvements to roadways and shall not be utilized for other purposes,
such as administrative expenses, personnel, consultants or other similar purposes;
Shall not be utilized for non-motorized improvements, unless these improvements are included in a
project plan for major improvements to a motorized roadway;
Shall be utilized for projects that will result in a measurable improvement in the development of the
local economy and contribute to business growth. Recipients shall be responsible for providing an
outline of the economic benefits of the project prior to approval and for reporting to the Board of
Commissioners after the completion of the project on the benefits achieved as a result of the projects.
ADMINISTRATION
Local Road Improvement Matching Fund Program projects may be appropriated by the Board of
Commissioners in compliance with the County budget process. The amount of funds to be dedicated for
the Pilot Program shall be determined by the Board of Commissioners on an annual basis. Program
funding may be reduced or eliminated based upon the ability of the County government to meet
primary constitutional and statutory duties. The Board of Commissioners expressly reserves the right to
adjust the County matching funds share at any time based upon County budget needs.
In accordance with MCL 123.872, funds dedicated to the Local Road Improvement Matching Fund
Program shall not be derived from ad valorem tax revenues. Program funding shall be limited to funds
derived from the County's distribution from the Michigan General Revenue Sharing Act. Reduction or
elimination of the County's distribution of revenue sharing funds may result in the elimination or
suspension of the program.
Funding availability shall be distributed based upon a formula updated annually. The formula will consist
of:
1. A percentage derived from the number of certified local major street miles in each city and
village divided by aggregate total of certified local major street miles of all cities and villages in
the county.
2. A percentage derived from the population of each city and village as determined by the last
decennial census conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau divided by the aggregate total
population of cities and villages in the county.
3. A percentage derived from the three year rolling total of the number of crashes on city and
village major local streets divided by the aggregate three year rolling crash numbers for all city
and village major local streets. The crash data will be supplied by the Road Commission for
Oakland County using data from the Traffic Improvement Association.
Each city and villages percentage allocation shall be determined by adding each factor percentage and
dividing that total by three. The amount of funds available for match shall be determined by the total
amount of funds allocated by the Board of Commissioners added to an equal amount representing the
match provided by local cities and villages.
The Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Board of Commissioners shall establish a Subcommittee
on the Local Road Improvement Program. This subcommittee shall consist of three members, with two
members representing the majority caucus and one member representing the minority caucus. It shall
be the responsibility of the Subcommittee to direct the administration of this program, receive
applications for program funding and make recommendation of acceptance to the Finance Committee
and Board of Commissioners. The Subcommittee may consult with county departments, staff and the
Road Commission for Oakland County in the conduct of its business.
DISBURSEMENT
The Subcommittee shall forward recommendations for approval of Local Road Improvement Matching
Fund Program projects to the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners. This recommendation shall
include a cost participation agreement between the County and participating municipality. Minimally,
cost participation agreements shall include: responsibility for administering the project, the project
location, purpose, scope, estimated costs including supporting detail, provisions ensuring compliance
with project guidelines, as well as disbursement eligibility requirements. The cost participation
agreement shall also require the maintenance of supporting documentation to ensure compliance with
the following provisions:
1. Any and all supporting documentation for project expenditures reimbursed with appropriated funding
shall be maintained a minimum of seven years from the date of final reimbursement for actual
expenditures incurred.
2. The Oakland County Auditing Division reserves the right to audit any and all project expenditures
reimbursed through the program.
Upon receipt of recommendation of project approval from the Subcommittee, the County
Commissioner or Commissioners, representing the area included in the proposed project, may introduce
a resolution authorizing approval of the project and the release of funds. Resolutions shall be forwarded
to the Finance Committee of the Board of Commissioners, who shall review and issue a
recommendation to the Board on the adoption of the resolution. The Chairperson of the Finance
Committee shall schedule a public hearing before the Board of Commissioners prior to consideration of
final approval of the resolution.
The deadline for projects to be submitted for consideration shall be established by the Subcommittee.
The Subcommittee may work with participating municipalities to develop a plan for projects that exceed
that municipality's annual allocation amount. This may include a limited plan to rollover that
municipality's allocation for a period of years until enough funding availability has accrued to complete
the project, subject to funding availability.
Upon completion of project plans and execution of the local participation agreement by the County and
governing authority of the local municipality, the participating municipality shall submit an invoice in
accordance with the terms and conditions included in the agreement. The Oakland County Department
of Management and Budget Fiscal Services Division shall process payments in accordance with policies
and procedures as set forth by the Department of Management and Budget and the Oakland County
Treasurer.
In the event an eligible local unit of government chooses not to participate in the Local Road
Improvement Matching Fund Program, any previously undistributed allocated funding may be re-
allocated to all participating local units of government in accordance with the formula included in this
policy.
At the completion of each project, the participating local government shall provide a report to the Board
of Commissioners regarding the activities of the recipient and the degree to which the recipient has met
the stated public purpose of the funding as required by MCL 123.872.
