MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION # 96245 October 24, 1996
BY: DONALD JENSEN, SHELLEY TAUB
IN RE: ROAD COMMISSION- (SUPPORT) STATE LEGISLATION CREATING
EQUITY IN ROAD REVENUES IMPROVEMENT
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, good roads and streets are vital to the stability, economic well-being and
quality of life in Oakland County and its communities; and,
WHEREAS, due to increasing traffic volumes, aging and deteriorating road and street
conditions, as well as the largest amount of unfunded road needs in the state, the road
infrastructure situation in Oakland County is critical at best; and,
WHEREAS, road revenues returned to Oakland County's road commission, cities and
villages has never been sufficient to meet the magnitude of the maintenance and improvement
needs of the county's roads and the cities' and villages' streets; and,
WHEREAS, Oakland County's contribution to road revenues has historically and
substantially exceeded the county's return from those funds; and,
WHEREAS, Oakland County continues its donor status by subsidizing other areas of the
state and the nation in spite of its own growing list of critical road maintenance and improvement
needs;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners requests its state legislators to initiate and support legislation that would provide
equity in return of road revenues to Oakland County commensurate with its generation of
revenue at the state level; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution shall be sent to all Oakland
County State legislators, and the Michigan Association of Counties.
