MILLAGE REDUCTION FUND
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in 1982, the State of Michigan Tax Commission increased the equalized value of all
residential property in Oakland County by approximately 6%; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners initiated a lawsuit challenging this
action by the State Tax Commission; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Supreme Court has decided that the action of the State Tax Commission
was not inappropriate and the 1982 residential SEV will not be reduced; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners by Miscellaneous Resolution 082352
established a $2.8 million reserve fund representing the county taxes generated from this increase
in equalized value of residential properties; and
WHEREAS a refund of this money via a millage reduction in 1986 would result in 372 of
the tax reduction benefiting commercial, industrial and personal property owners, which would not
be an equitable return for residential property owners who paid the tax on the increased SEV; and
WHEREAS state law requires that all classes of taxpayers be treated equally and would
prohibit a tax reduction or direct refund to residential taxpayers only; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners desires to utilize these reserve funds in a manner that
would best meet the needs of the residential taxpayers who paid these additional taxes; and
WHEREAS there exists various state statutes which allow county participation in the funding
of projects benefiting local residents.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Beard of Commissioners allocate the
$2.8 million reserve fund to the local cities and townships in proportion to the 1982 residential
taxes paid by their residents (per attached schedule), such funds to be used for support of cities
and townships share of road projects, solid waste, the 9-1-1 system, economic development and/or
other projects in which Oakland County may. legally participate. Specific projects utilizing these

SUBJECT: Misc. Resolution Number 85315
DATE: May 23, 1998
Earlier this week, it came to my attention that the following amounts arising from a transaction
covered under Board resolution number 85315 remain at the County:
* Cities:
- Birmingham - $672.17,
- Orchard Lake - $3,237.00.
Townships:
- Independence - $18,474.00.
- Royal Oak - $1,604.00.
- Southfield - $180.00.
* Villages:
- Franklin - $896.00.
- Lake Orion - $553.00.
- Wolverine - $11,475.00. —
The underlying transaction appears to have been a 1985 allocation on a 1982 State of Michigan
Tax Commission mandate to return funds to local units. The Board of Commissioners included
the following 'resolved' in the resolution:
"NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners establishes the following procedures for the review, approval and
release of funds allocated to cities, townships and villages on Miscellaneous
Resolution 85294:
1) The local units of government, after consultation with their
commissioner(s), will submit their desired programs or projects to the
Oakland County Board of Commissioners.
2) Each project request will be forwarded to the Corporation Counsel
for determination of the legality of county fiscal participation.
Projects in conformance with state statutes will be approved and
forwarded to the Department of Management and Budget.
3) The county's fiscal officer, as defined in the General
Appropriations Act, Miscellaneous Resolution #84230, shall
determine the appropriate method of fiscal participation by the
county and shall approve the vouchers for disbursement or
recommend to the Board of Commissioners whatever other
appropriate action may be necessary."
Since 1993, there has been no recommendations by any commissioner concerning 'desired
programs or projects' and, as such., no amounts have been expended on the above amounts held.
In order to close this matter out by September 30, 1998, I would appreciate it if each of the noted
commissioners would contact their respective communities, identify 'desired programs and
projects' so that amounts can be expended by September 30, 1998.
May I suggest the acquisition of computer equipment targeted at the GIS program?

In accordance with your request in your memo of May 23, 1998, I discussed the matter with Mr.

Mr. Markus states that Birmingham is in process of updating its complete data processing system
and the amount due the city will be used to help defray the cost of the new equipment.
I trust this is the information required by the subject resolution. Mr. Markus invites you to call
