REPORT
By Mr. Page
IN RE: MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #8182 - SOCIAL SECURITY RETIREMENT AGE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Your Committee having reviewed Resolution #8182, Social Security Retirement Age, recommends
that subject resolution be amended in paragraph four to read:
WHEREAS the latest irresponsible attack on the Social Security System is the proposal by
some governmental officials to extend the retirement eligibility age for drawing full benefits to
age 68 in order to alleviate the strain on the system's financial condition; and further recommends
that Resolution #8I82 be adopted with that amendment.
The General Government Committee, by Robert W. Page, Chairman, moves the adoption of the
foregoing report.

"Misc. 8182
By Mr. Page
IN RE: SOCIAL SECURITY RETIREMENT AGE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS there has been in this country a Social Security System which has guaranteed to the
majority of our people at least a minimum of security in their retirement years, as well as other
benefits for those who are eligible; and
WHEREAS this system is not a "funded" system as a private pension plan would be, it is a "pay
as you go" system of income transfers, which assumes a continuing and adequate flow of new participants,
negating the necessity for a large reserve fund; and
WHEREAS Social Security is temporarily undermined by heavy unemployment and the decline in
the birth rate subsequent to 1961 so that we will have fewer and fewer contributors supporting more
and more recipients; and
WHEREAS the latest irresponsible attack on the Social Security System is the proposal by
some governmental officials to extend the retirement age to 68 in order to alleviate the strain on the
system's financial condition; and
WHEREAS there are many responsible proposals for making adjustments to correct the current
problems of the Social Security System, including the use of general revenue funds to shore up this
valuable social program; and
WHEREAS public officials at the national level have not distinguished themselves as they
should be reaffirming support for the 40-year guarantee given to our senior citizens--that they had
at least a minimum (though still shamefully inadequate) security in their retirement years. Rather,
there has been created a widespread and unnecessary fear among all our citizens that their years of
work has been for nothing in terms of their retirement, and as a result their faith in the leadership
of this country is in danger of being shattered beyond repair.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that we request that our elected officials in the United States
House of Representatives and in the United States Senate to take steps to insure that retirement
guarantees and other provisions of the Social Security System are not eroded beyond their present
status.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we urge the members of the U.S. House of Representatives and
Senate to make their positive intentions publicly known through immediate and widespread use of the
news media so that our citizens need no longer live with fear for their future which the recent pro-
posal for extending the retirement age has created.
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 4997
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the success of a public health program, regardless of its source of origination

WHEREAS it has been evidentially demonstrated that the quality and cost of services
referred to here have been the hallmark of delivery systems directed and implemented by local officials

WHEREAS local health planning as mandated by provisions of Federal Public Law 93-641 is
the province of Health Systems Agencies; and

IN RE: REFUSE LICENSING
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Legislature of the State of Michigan in acting to protect the public health has
enacted Act 87 of the Public Acts of 1965 which provides for the licensing and regulation of garbage
and refuse disposal facilities; and
WHEREAS Section 2 of said act specifically states: "Nothing in this act nor any act of the
commissioner's shall usurp the legal right of a local governing body from developing and enforcing
local ordinances, codes, or rules and regulations on solid waste disposal equal to or more stringent
than the provisions of this act, nor will this act relieve the applicant for license to operate a
disposal area from obtaining a license from a local governing body when required or relieve the person
owning or operating a disposal area from responsibility for securing proper zoning permits or complying
with all applicable local ordinances, codes, or rules and regulations not in conflict with this act,";
and
WHEREAS many local units of government cogizant of the impact of such garbage and refuse
disposal facilities within their communities have adopted ordinances and zoning maps to regulate the
location and operation of such facilities; and
WHEREAS recent experience has shown that there is inadequate review of garbage disposal
facility plans, the inconsistent application of requirements, and a lack of consideration for or
interest in local zoning and regulating ordinances when licenses for construction and/or operation of
such facilities are issued by the State; and
WHEREAS it is in the best interests of the public health of all of the people of Michigan to
have garbage disposal facilities constructed and operated in full compliance with all applicable laws,
ordinances, codes, and rules and regulations.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby urges the
State Legislature to amend Act 87 of the Public Acts of 1965 to provide for the following:
a) notification by the State to the local unit of government of all applications for licenses
to construct and/or operate a garbage disposal facility within its jurisdiction.
b) provision for a public hearing on any pending application for a license if a written
request for such a hearing is filed within 30 days of receiving notification, the cost of such hearing
to be borne equally by the applicant and the person or organization requesting the hearing.
c) a license for the construction and/or operation of a garbage disposal facility not to be
issued by the State until written notification has been received from the local unit of government
indicating that all applicable zoning and regulating ordinances have been complied with.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the County's State
Legislators and Legislative Agent.
