IN RE: PUBLIC HEARINGS REQUIRED TO INCREASE OR ADD NEW FEES IN OAKLAND COUNTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies, and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS higher fees adversely affect economic opportunities for residents

increases in fees and the addition of new fees; and

the public has an opportunity to voice their opinion.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that all increases in fees charged by Oakland
County, shall be considered during the budget process or after a public hearing,
and shall be enacted only after the affirmative recommendation of the standing
liaison committee, following the passage by the full Board, all increases in
fees, or new fees, which would generate $50,000 per year of new revenue.
Chairperson, I move adoption of the foregoing Resolution.
