MISC. RESOLUTION #94237
BY: COMMISSIONERS RUEL McPHERSON AND LAWRENCE OBRECHT
RE: DRAIN--INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT TASK FORCE
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS:
MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS, the recent pollution to Lake St. Clair serves to
emphasize the need for vigilance in protecting our natural
resources, and
WHEREAS, antiquated infrastructure in our older
communities, particularly those with combined sewer and storm
drainage systems may be contributing to such environmental problems
and if not now, they most certainly pose an environmental time
bomb, and
WHEREAS, within Oakland County we have many dedicated
professionals with expertise to tackle these potential problems and
recommend long-term plans which will improve and protect the
quality of life within our County.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners does hereby establish an Engineering Task
Force to review the adequacy, efficiency, effectiveness and safety
of our public utilities and infrastructure and recommend long-range
plans for the updating and improvement of these systems.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the membership of this Task
Force shall include a representative of the County Drain
Commission, Oakland County Health Department, County Road
Commission, SEMCOG, Municipal Engineers, Department of Natural
Resources Engineer, Detroit Edison, Michigan Bell, Michigan
Consolidated Gas, Consumers Power and the Army Corps of Engineers,
and this Task Force shall report its findings and recommendation to
the Planning & Building Committee of the Board of Commissioners by
August 1, 1995.
Mr. Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
