The estimated revenues were up 16% over the original 1981 budget and an 11% increase over the 1981 amended budget. Millage revenue was up 15% due to the increase in the state equalized value of property in Oakland County.

One new position in the Technical Support Section was requested for 1982. FEES AND CHARGES: Commissioner Stanley expressed her opposition to any fee increases for residents of Oakland County "...In Oakland County where we are already paying taxes, the resident fees should remain the same ...
