To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the year 2020 will mark the 200th anniversary of the creation of Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners recognized the need to create a body to take a leadership role in
coordinating, executing and organizing the Oakland County Bicentennial celebration in 2020 by adopting
Miscellaneous Resolution #18295 on August 22, 2018; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners recognized the need to create a committee structure that will allow
for a maximum public participation from a diversity of interest and backgrounds, without sacrificing the
ability of the organization to move forward with critical decision making and planning; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners initially established, via MR #18295, an Oakland County
Bicentennial Advisory Board to be charged with supporting the efforts of the Executive Committee to
enhance the events, activities and educational experiences during the Bicentennial; and
WHEREAS under the provisions of the Board's resolution, the Oakland Bicentennial Advisory Board
members are appointed by the Board of Commissioners; and

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners hereby amends the policy
previously adopted in MR#18295 to transfer the appointive power for the members of the Bicentennial
