RE: INFRASTRUCTURE FUND DISBURSEMENT PROCESS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Oakland County has enjoyed exceptional growth throughout all of our cities,
villages and townships during the past decade; and
WHEREAS, this growth has increased the population of our cities, villages and townships
causing the county population to exceed 1.2 million persons; and
WHEREAS, this population increase has created a strain on the resources of Oakland
County's cities, villages and townships to provide the basic utilities required for the delivery of
services to our citizens, to continue economic growth, to protect the health, safety and welfare of
cities, villages, townships and our County; and
WHEREAS, Oakland County government will continue to work with and for our cities,
villages and townships to obtain additional needed Federal and State government funding in order
to assist with the improvement of our straining infrastructure and to install new infrastructure where
needed; and
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approved a 1999-2000 budget
which established an Infrastructure Fund of 5 million dollars for each of the next 5 years to help
address the infrastructure needs of our County's cities, villages and townships; and
WHEREAS, the disbursement of these funds should be accomplished in the most efficient
and timely way possible.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that each of the County's 61 cities, villages and
townships be appropriated from the Infrastructure Fund their share of the 5 million dollars yearly
allocation as provided by the formula adopted in the General Appropriations Act of the 1999-2000
budget (see attached list).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the term "Infrastructure" be interpreted broadly as it
pertains to any requirements which may be established for this fund and is authorized by law.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that these funds shall be used for Infrastructure Capitol
Improvement Projects.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that once each year after the County fiscal year begins that
the cities, villages and townships by resolution of their governing bodies may request its share of the
Infrastructure Fund from the County through the Fiscal Services Division. Resolutions shall state
the purpose for which funds are to be used.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that each participating city, village and township shall each
year submit a report to the Fiscal Services Division as to how the funds have been used.
