BY: Terry L. Sever, District #19; Shelley G. Taub, District #12
IN RE: Senate Bill 1156 - Michigan Transportation Fund
To The Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Public Act 51 of 1951, as amended, provides for the distribution of Michigan
Transportation Fund (MTF) revenues to the Michigan Department for Transportation, county road
commissions, cities, villages, and other transportation agencies in the state; and
WHEREAS, the distribution formula in Public Act 51 sunsets on September 30, 2000, and
the Michigan State Legislature must determine on or before that date how Michigan Transportation
Fund dollars will be distributed among the various road and transportation related agencies in the
state; and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1156, passed in 1998, requires that a study committee be established
"to review transportation funding options, transportation investment priorities, and potential
strategies for maximizing returns on transportation investments;" and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1156 requires that the study committee report to the legislature on
"the identified capital and maintenance needs, transportation investment and maintenance priorities,
relative use of transportation systems," and other related transportation issues in the State of
Michigan; and
WHEREAS, this type of information is critical in drafting new legislation and to avoid
making what may be viewed as arbitrary decisions in determining the distribution of critically
needed state transportation funds among the various transportation agencies;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby call upon the Michigan State Legislature to assure that the statutory language in Senate
Bill 1156 is complied with and that a comprehensive statewide needs study be conducted prior to
deliberations by the legislature regarding the expiring distribution formula, so that informed
decisions may be made utilizing the results of that study.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that copies of this adopted resolution be forwarded to the
Oakland County legislators, the Oakland County legislative lobbyists, the Michigan Association of
Counties, the Road Commission for Oakland County, the County Road Association of Michigan,
the Michigan Municipal League, the Michigan Township Association, and all 82 Michigan counties.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
