MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #93019
BY: LAWRENCE A. OBRECHT, COMMISSIONER
IN RE: DRAIN COMMISSIONER—LAKE LEVEL FOR LONG LAKE, WAIVER OF
PRELIMINARY FEE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, a sufficient number of freeholders on Long Lake
signed petitions to establish a normal height and lake level for
the waters of Long Lake, and delivered said petitions to the
Oakland County Drain Commissioner on January 17, 1990, and
WHEREAS, the Drain Commissioner made the determination that it
would be better to complete the project on the Bunny Run Lake
Special Assessment District before establishing a lake level for
Long Lake, and
WHEREAS, two years subsequent to the filing of the petitions
with the Drain Office, the Inland Lake Level Act, Act 52 of the
Public Acts of 1992, was adopted, and
WHEREAS, as authorized by provisions of Section 4 of Act 52,
the Board of Commissioners may require a cash payment be made by
the freeholders who file petitions sufficient to cover the
preliminary costs necessary to proceed-to establish a lake level,
and the Drain Commissioner estimates that for Long Lake that cost
would be $10,000, and
WHEREAS, Act 52 was established after the petitions of the
freeholders were submitted, and
WHEREAS, the Drain Commissioner chose to wait to proceed until
the Bunny Run project was completed.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners waives the recommended $10,000 deposit and authorizes
the Drain Commissioner to obtain an independent engineering study
and other necessary engineering work which will provide the
necessary information for the Drain Commissioner to recommend an
appropriate water level for Long Lake.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
