MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #98038 •
BY: Commissioners Ruth Johnson, DistriCt #1 41 -1c1 Dennis Powers, District #10
IN RE: Support of House Bill 5284, Regarding Free Flow of Solid Waste Among
Michigan Counties
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the management of solid waste in the state of Michigan, under
existing Act 451, restricts the free market in serving residents and
businesses by limiting the free flow of waste for communities within the State
of Michigan; and
WHEREAS the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Michigan counties may not
impose restrictions upon the free flow of waste from out of state and out of
country sources, although Michigan residents and businesses are not afforded
the same benefit within Michigan; and
WHEREAS this current law, also completely eliminates a competitive
market for Michigan citizens while out of state/out of county disposal in
Michigan enjoys free flow/free market conditions; and
WHEREAS the net result of these factors is that while the waste stream
disposal from Michigan residents and businesses is restricted, Michigan
landfill capacity is being heavily utilized by out of state and out of country
waste-more than 126 of all waste disposed of in Michigan is currently being
imported, while this capacity is not widely available to all Michigan citizens
and businesses; and
WHEREAS these factors result in the possible forced sitings of landfills
in communities within the State of Michigan and increased costs for Michigan
residents; and
WHEREAS House Bill 5284 would address these problems by establishing a
free market system, allowing local communities to be more responsive to their
individual waste disposal needs, as well as allowing a free competitive market
to Michigan residents and businesses, reducing the need for forced landfill
sitings.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby support the enactment of Michigan House Bill 5284;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT copies of this resolution be sent to all
state legislators from Oakland County, and to the County's State Legislative
Liaison, the Michigan Association of Counties, the Michigan Townships
Association, the Michigan Municipal League, all other counties in this state,
and to all Oakland County muniripalitips
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
