Misc. 7324
By Mr. Wilco',
IN RE: REQUEST FOR IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION OF BOARD OF COUNTY ROAD COMMISSIONERS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS this Board of Commissioners has a responsibility to the residents of Oakland
County in the operation of the Oakland County Road Commission. The only way we can uphold that
responsibility is with our appointive power in naming the three Road Commissioners; and
WHEREAS we have just been informed that the Road Commission voted 3 to 0 to buy a building,
said building has been the subject of discussion by many residents of Oakland County and those that
I have had contact with were opposed to such purchase. Knowing these facts, the Road Commission
bought anyway.
I feel that the three Road Commissioners have acted in a very irresponsible manner with
total disregard for the residents of Oakland County and the members of this Board of Commissioners.
Mr. Chairman, I move that this Board of Commissioners request the immediate resignation of
all three members of the Oakland County Road Commission.
Richard R. Wilcox, Commissioner - District
Moved by Wilcox supported by Lennon the resolution be adopted.
Moved by Wilcox supported by Lennon the rules be suspended for immediate consideratior
