IN RE: Tr-County Sustainable Development Challenge Grant Program (SDCG)
TO: The Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, one of our most valuable natural assets in the Tr-County area are our lakes,
streams and rivers, and
WHEREAS, it is of great importance that our children and grandchildren, and generations
to come enjoy the beauty, recreational opportunities and increased property values afforded by
the waterways in our region, and
WHEREAS in addition to the aesthetic value of our waterways, we must recognize that
the purity and cleanliness of our many watersheds contribute to the water we use in our
households.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners together with the Tr-County Summit Environmental Task Force, in an effort to
educate the children in our Tr-County communities as to the importance of keeping our
watersheds and lakes clean, does hereby support application for a Sustainable Development
Challenge Grant in the amount of $250,000; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners will
join with the other Tr-County Communities in providing its 25% share (twenty-five percent) to
reach the 20% (twenty percent) grant match in an amount not to exceed $12,500 either in cash or
in kind services. Oakland County will contribute no more than 25% of the 20% match. That
Oakland County's 25% is contingent upon equal participation from Macomb County, Wayne
County and the City of Detroit, plus the 80% finding from the EPA.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the adoption
of the foregoing resolution.
