attached budget.
The Public Services Committee, by James W. Dunleavy, Chairman, moves the adoption of the
foregoing resolution.
PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE
James W. Dunleavy, Chairman"
EXPLANATORY NOTE
It is the County Executive's recommendation that the sum of $84,734 be distributed to those
units of government whose population, according to the 1970 census, were between 10,000 and 50,000.
These units of government, because of the nature of the Title VI allocation Formula established by
the U.S. Department of Labor, received less than a fair share of the available funds.
In order to partially remedy this situation, it is recommended that available forfeited
funds be reallocated based on the number of unemployed (approximately $4.75 per unemployed person)
as estimated by the M.E,S,C. for December, 1974.
In addition, the sum of $16,181 is recommended for the staffing of the Oakland County
Tourist and Convention Bureau of the .North Oakland Chamber of Commerce. This allocation would provide
for the hiring of an executive director at an annual salary of $8,700 and one (I). secretary at an
annual salary of approximately $7,400. The allocation would be for the time period ending February 9,
1976 which coincides with the termination of the C.E.T.A. Title VI program.
The functions of the Tourist Bureau are out in the attached correspondence from the
North Oakland Chamber of Commerce.

Dear Mr. Chisholm:
As a follow-up to my letter of February 28, 1975, requesting participation in the C.E.T.A.,-
Title 6, program, 1 would like to provide you with additional information regarding the Oakland
County Tourist rod Convention Bureau.
Direct« by its own board of directors, it will be operating solely to pull trer a1
Oakland County ources, package them, and present them to interested, potential conventHneer ,, and
tourists. We f,L1 it important to emphasize that the establishment of this Bureau will henefit the
total county. By generating new tourist and convention business into-our county, the Bureau will be
indirectly providing new vehicles for employment and at the same time capturing the touris: and
convention dollar to benefit businesses county-wide, thereby enhancing their participalion ru paymr.:nt
of tax dollars back into our local units of government. -
We also feel the promotion of Oakland County as a total community, r(mqwtin9 lot ,.onvention
revenues, will generate new interest and economic expansion into this county, hopefully creating new
business and diversification so badly needed in this time of large unemployment.
It is imperative this program have the cooperation and support of all facets of the
community. We are pleased that other Oakland County Chambers have expressed their support of this
concept and are assisting us in conducting an inventory of all our local assets.
I hope this additional information and the outlined objectives of this Bureau will assist
the county in providing the necessary funds to help this organization accomplish its immediate and
long-range goals.
Sincerely,
Earl A. Kreps, Executive Vice President

IN RE: OPPOSITION TO SELECTIVE TAXATION TO SUPPORT MASS TRANSIT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the State of Michigan desperately needs - to plan and establish an efficient system
of mass transportation; and
WHEREAS this need is particularly felt in the Southeastern portion of the Stile, where
there is a large concentration of Michigan's population and industry; and
WHEREAS the Southeastern Michigan Transportation Out and local government olticials
have spent many hours helping to plan the future transportation needs of the area and
WHEREAS a recent mass transit plan submitted by the Governor of this State suggested a
method of regional taxation for the development of mass transit in Southeastern Michigan; and
WHEREAS this plan called for an increase of 50% on passenger vehicles and 25% on commercial
vehicles in the yearly license plate fees of all residents in the Wayne-Macomb-Oakland County area;
and
WHEREAS this kind of selective taxation places an unfair burden on the residents of these
three counties as they are already suffering the effects of these troubled economic times as reflected
by layoffs in the auto industry; and
WHEREAS it is inconceivable that these people, overtaxed and out of work, should be hit
with yet another tax increase;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that we unite in opposition to theGovernor's proposal for
selective taxation to support mass transit in these three counties and particularly reject his plan
for increasing license plate fees for residents of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb Counties,
Mr. Chairman, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
