IN RE: RESOLUTION PASSED BY COMMERCE TOWNSHIP AT THE ANNUAL MEETING HELD APRIL 5, 1975 REGARDING LOCAL
ASSESSMENT, COUNTY EQUALIZATION AND STATE EQUALIZATION PROCEDURES AS THEY RELATE TO REAL AND PERSONAL
PROPERTY TAXES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the members of this Board have received numerous complaints of tax increases; and
WHEREAS the citizens of Oakland County deserve to be treated equitably in relation to the
balance of the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS there is common cause to seek relief from this unjust burden imposed on all tax-
payers in the County of Oakland;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners of the County of Oakland go
on record in support of the following resolution and in addition request the Civil Counsel to meet
with the Commerce Township attorney with respect to exploring the possibility of joining into the
suit and subsequently reporting back to the Board with recommendations for future action.
COMMERCE TOWNSHIP RESOLUTION
WHEREAS the citizens of the Township of Commerce, as well as other Townships, Cities and
Villages throughout the state, are suffering from the effects of a great economic depression, which,
although national in scope, has had particular impact upon the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS the result has been widespread unemployment and reduction in personal and corporate
income, while, at the same time our economy has reeled under the impact of an ever increasing in-
flationary spiral, which has most severely affected persons with low and/or fixed incomes; and
WHEREAS Robert H. Long, Supervisor of the Township of Commerce, has attempted by every means
at his disposal to convince the State Legislature of current inequities in ad valorem taxation upon
the citizens of the Township of Commerce and other communities in Oakland County, to the point that
the loss of homes, farms and businesses Is a grim but real prospect; and
WHEREAS his efforts in this regard, in testimony before the house taxation committee has
been to no avail; and
WHEREAS this inequitable and unjust taxation upon real and personal property has been
accomplished within the apparent guidelines of Article 9, Section 3, of the State Constitution, but
in equally apparent violation of the Rights of due process and equal protection afforded by the
constitution of the United States by forcing local and county assessors, through a state equalization
technique, to assess real property at a full fifty percent of fair market value; and
WHEREAS our local assessor is powerless to prevent the imposition of this inequitable and
unjust burden imposed upon the owners of real and personal property within the Township, because any
effort by him to hold levels of assessment at more realistic levels is prevented by the arbitrary
imposition, by the State, of an equalization factor; and
WHEREAS the more efficient and honest a county has been, historically, in efficiently
assembling and analyzing tax data for the purpose of assessing property for ad valorem taxes, the
greater the injustice to the residents of local units of government within such county, as a result
of the arbitrary imposition of the State equalization factor; and
WHEREAS Oakland County now and historically has maintained the most detailed and accurate
records with which to analyze Real Property taxation, with the result that real property taxes in
Oakland County are disproportionately high and the residents thereof have been the subjects of
arbitrary, discriminatory and confiscatory taxation and resulting economic ruin; and
WHEREAS the greater relief has gone to the least efficient and most irresponsible .;,?-H,5
of County Government, some of which, upon reliable information, are still taxing properties
area of 254 of fair market value.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the citizens of the Township of Commerce support the
position of the Supervisor and the Township Board and do hereby direct the Township Board to take
prompt steps, separately or in concert with other communities similarly affected, to initiate a
lawsuit, and/or by initative petition directed to the State Legislature, attempt to force relief
from the oppressive, unjust and arbitrary taxation upon Real Property, and to achieve more equitable
distribution of taxation throughout the State of the financial burden of conducting State government.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution, together with appeals for the support
of the same, be directed to every member of the House and Senate of the State of Michigan, to every
member of the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Oakland, to the Governor, the State Tax
Commission, the Oakland County Equalization Director, to every local unit of government in the County
of Oakland, including any and all school districts and the Michigan Township Association.
The Finance Committee, by Richard R. Wilcox, Chairman, moves the adoption of the foregoing
resolution.

health problems, the County of Oakland deserves a competent and professionally trained public health

seriously damaged by the selection of a non-medical administrator; and

for health departments, with approval of the State Public Health Department, which is designed to
ease the difficulties sparsely populated, poorly funded counties encounter in recruiting appropriate
physician directorial talent; and
WHEREAS the increasingly important inter-relationship of and need to coordinate the public
and private sectors of health care providers, physicians and facilities can best be understood and
facilitated by a physician so trained as to command the respect of his colleagues, governing boards,
the Board a Commissioners and the populace in general; and
WHEREAS the citizens of Oakland County, with its higher than average educational and cultural
attainment levels, deserve and should insist on monitoring and/or direction of their public health

saving to the taxpayers of Oakland,

IN RE: APPROPRIATION FOR BI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION - PRELIMINARY PLANNING
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County, one of the most progressive and rapidly growing counties in the
nation, now approaching one million inhabitants, desires to properly participate in our country's
Bi-Centennial celebration; and
WHEREAS Oakland County recognizes its responsibility to not only develop and launch its
own Bi-Centennial observances but also to provide leadership, assistance and coordination to all
government, industry and private sectors to assure an outstanding county-wide celebration; and
WHEREAS the Si-Centennial Commission desires in connection with its planning for the county's
own observance and celebration to place emphasis in three major areas to develop a creative program
for consideration by the Board:
(a) The First is a Heritage project to preserve a building or site of historical signif-
icance within the county. Currently these sites are being reviewed by the Projects Committee of
the Commission for recommendation and consideration of the Commission and Board. It is hoped that
"said money" support for funding may be by the use of Community Development Funds, by assistance
from the Parks and Recreation Commission, or by whatever other means believed appropriate by the
Board.
(b) The Second is support and participation to the extent appropriate to participate in
the Issues Forum, a program being planned on a national scale to relate the issues of the day to
those earlier issues which were resolved to create this great republic.
(c) The Third is a Historical Pageant on a self-sustaining basis for the summer of 1976
to be staged in the Pontiac Metropolitan Stadium, utilizing the resources and voluntary participation
of every community in the County willing to participate. Related to this is a. series of events for
scheduling throughout the end of the year, 1975 and through 1976, currently being planned for pre-
sentation to the Commission and the Board by the Special Events Committee of the Si-Centennial
Commission.
WHEREAS the Si-Centennial Commission has expressed its desire that if possible all
historical projects requiring "seed money" be supported by other than direct funding and that all
special events scheduled be self-supporting although funds may be required to be advanced initially
with the understanding that they be recovered from receipts.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that in connection with the preliminary planning for the
third segment of the Oakland County Bi-Centennial Program under consideration, that's the Pageant
in the Pontiac Metropolitan Stadium, that because of the critical timing involved and the necessity
For a creative and successful program, that a qualified individual be engaged to produce, write,
direct and coordinate this special event.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the sum of $30,000 be appropriated as an advance fund for the
proposed Si-Centennial Pageant to contract with such an individual and that the net proceeds of the
Pageant after expenses and allocation of shares to participating communities be returned to the
County.
The Oakland County Si-Centennial Commission, by Robert W. Page, Chairman, moves the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: POLICY REGARDING POLYGRAPH EXAMINATIONS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chain-an, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS it has become the policy of the Oakland County Sheriff's Department to screen and
turn down job applicants on the basis of polygraph and psychological testing; and
WHEREAS that testing has included such vague, subjective, and judgemental factors as
sexual deviation, violent behavior, and the ability to hold up under stress; and
WHEREAS such subjective factors seem clearly to be in conflict with constitutional
guarantees against unwarranted invasion of privacy; and
WHEREAS the questions asked in such tests have not been formulated by the Personnel
Department and appear to vary depending on the individual who is subjected to the test; and
WHEREAS certain individuals have been denied employment by the Sheriff's Department because
they failed such tests; and
WHEREAS in at least one case those vague, subjective, and judgemental factors were used
to deny employment of a woman; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff's Department admittedly has never hired a female patrol officer despite
their employment by many other police departments; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff's Department has also never hired a black patrol officer; and
WHEREAS the cle - and distinct danger exists that such subjective polygraph and psychological
tests may be discriminr,;-ory towards women, Blacks, and other minority groups,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Board of Commissioners order the Sheriff's Depart-
ment to cease and desist from the use of the polygraph for any other purpose than determination of
past criminal actiVity, and no further polygraph questions relating to sexual deviation, violent
behavior and the ability to hold up under stress be undertaken until and unless guidelines can be
structured that would limit such investigation within parameters acceptable to the people of Oakland
County as represented by the Board of Commissioners, and order the use of psychological testing to
cease until the Board of Commissioners can determine that such testing is not being used, or structured
in such a manner, to discriminate against women, Blacks, or any other group.
