Re: 1975 Annual Report of Taxes, LT-1
Dear Mr, Hoover:
This'letter is a follow-up of our telephone conversations of October 28, 1975.
The preparation and forwarding of the 1975 Annual Report of Taxes, LT-1, to your office
evidently crossed the mail with the report from the Oakland County Drain Commission on Clinton River
Drain #3, a Chapter 20 intracounty drain.
It was discovered recently that the LT-1 as submitted did not include the rate and levy for
Clinton #3. This rate and levy is required to make the required principal and interest payment which
comes due April I, 1976.
Therefore, I request that the LT-1 as submitted be corrected to show a rate for Chapter 20
drains of $4.218 and a levy of $2,548,477.88.
This reflects an increase in the drain rate of .248 cents and a levy increase of $150,000,
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Dear Mr. Murphy:
I am enclosing the revised Form Notice to City Clerks for the tax year 1975 for the City of
Troy.
On October 29,. 1975, the Board of Education, Warren Consolidated Schools, revoked their
June 11, 1975 approval which was forwarded to you on June 12, 1975 and approved the revised 1975 tax
levy of 34.50 mills as follows:
Voted 19.42 mills
Rate Allocated by Tax Allocation Board 9.58 mills
Debt Retirement 5.50 mills
34.50 mills
The revised levy is the result of the increase of 2.42 mills in our operating levy which was
approved by the Warren Consolidated School voters on October 28, 1975 for collection in 1975. As you
recall, Michigan Public Act 202 of 1975 amended The General Property Tax Act" to permit school
districts to hold a millage election on or before November 11, 1975.

PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE
James W. Dunleavy, Chairman
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT - FACILITY BEAUTIFICATION - $76,924
This projs.ct would include fire hy -'r - It painting, well-house painting as well as
revitalization and -oiconstructior of wast - treatment plant grounds and sand beds.
It at .nticipated that twelve ffan working the nine-month construction season could
provide the scrvit. triquired within the limits of the allocated funds.
The Dep,i.icnt would anticipate hiring these employees at the expiration of the projects
as vacancies occur hrough normal attrition.
PROJECT - FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS - $79,414
Three areas of activity are scheduled for water and sewer improvements.
One project would include the cleaning, operation and repair of all valves, gate boxes and
gate wells on water systems.
Another project would be a survey to locate and repair all water service stop boxes, includ-
ing 5,000 boxes whose location is unknown and which is not presently , recorded.
- The last project would be the rehabilitation of all sewer manholes and tops located in flood
plain areas.
It is anticipated that twelve men working the nine-month construction season could
accomplish these projects within the budget provided.
PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION - PARK BEAUTIFICATION AND RESTORATION - $1,500,000
This is a total Oakland County Park system clean-up, beautification and restoration project.
It will be comprised of three mobile work crews which will travel to designated work sites within the
2200 acres of County Parks. Once there, they will perform such beautification, restoration and
development projects as cleaning and restoring river beds, cutting and developing of nature trails,
cleaning and improving lakeshores, trimming, elevating and planting of trees and shrubs. Two of the
sites, 800 acre Independence-Oaks and 220 acre Springfield-Oaks Park, are to be dedicated as Bi-
Centennial parks and will carry the Bincentennial plaque.
This project is self-contained in that it will provide 120 laborers, four supervisors,
inclement weather clothing, tools, transportation, safety shoes, and other items necessary to work
in the out-of-doors.
Accomplishment of the project goals will provide additional park areas and access to help
make the parks available and more beautiful for the Bicentennial dedications and leisure time users.
LAKE AND STREAM IMPROVEMENT - $50,000
The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission will establish a program of beauti-
fication, clean-up and restoration of stream and lake shoreline at the 800 acre Independence-Oaks
Park. This park is to be dedicated as a bicentennial park and will carry the bicentennial plaque.
This project, along with its companion project, will create 125 positions within the park
system during- the 1976 calendar year.
HURON VALLEY SCHOOLS - PROJECT IMPACT - $115,634
This grant will allow approximately 43 people to work 55 man months on projects to be
funded by the $115,634 requested. The district proposes to pair unemployed skilled tradesmen and
craftsmen with unemployed youth on such projects as developing the educational park on Bogie Lake
Road, creative design and painting of the school corridors and setting up a metric farm where the
students work in science with metric tools. Salaries account for 917 of the funds requested. The
bulk of the project will occur during the outdoor work season dependent upon weather.
In addition, the activities performed under this grant will have a significant effect on
the ecology. This effect will be achieved primarily by programming public service work to improve
various public school sites and land holdings.
This program will enable participants to become economically sufficient in a variety of
ways. Ideally, the participants will develop or enhance salable job market skills or earn money to
attend vocational oreducatiOnal institutions. C.E.T.A. employees who prove their skills will be given
priority where vacancies may occur within the regular work force. They will also be given priority in
the event that new regular positions become available due to expansion. Employees will be developing
skills that would benefit them in seeking employment in the private sector.
Although it is not anticipated that the Title X program will be used to extend already
existing CETA programs, there will be a correspondence between these new public service employees
653
fitrifl sioners Minutes Continued. November 20, 1975
elready hired. These new employees will join previous CETA employees in being eligible for
, ,hi h occur within the regular employer work force through attrition or expansion. As in the
her CETA employ any Title X person who works within the appropriate job area will become
f 1 the local L•r..ii.ning unit.
The Title X pr•qram will be used solely for unemployed residents of Oakland County and for
i- service work within Oakland County. No Livingston County residents or projects are included
in this program.
SOUTHFIELD PUBLIC SCHOOLS - JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT - $100,000
The purpose of the CETA program in the Southfield Public Schools project is to reinstate
,o students in the areas of career education, guidance, and library programs in order to
opportunity for economic development for all students. Budget restrictions in 1975 -1976
'arp curtailments in these as well as other programs. This project would not duplicate,
, or confiict with other federal manpower programs in the area.
The thrust of educational services would be for the students affected by the higher levels
made possible by this project, e.g., job awareness and exploration, resources for career
, 1.4
lion, economic opportunity in career fields, speakers, resources, etc. An institutional
1.iii 1 program is planned for all staff. District and building in-service programs will be designed
to r ,•,,Iovi artificial barriers to employment and to maximize the employability of every child,
The overall goal is to help each student to become more employable at any stage of life,
it ' titudes, skills, and knowledge developed during the elementary and secondary years.
and related in-service to all staff will allow direct impact on students in libraries,
and classrooms. A major artificial barrier to employment presently facing young
i, I' •mm own lack of awareness of career opportunities. The purpose of career education is
• br den •ot student's view of career alternatives: job families, job outlooks, scope and variety,
backgrounds require, plus the dynamics, advantages and risks of various jobs. In addition, career
education enhances the student's immediate employability through the development of such basic skills
as completing job applications, writing resumes, and handling interviews.

IN RE: COMMENDATION TO THE DELEGATES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO THE UNITED NATIONS AND TO
THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS it is the sense of this body that the delegates from the United States of America
to the United Nations have eloquently sought to defend the principles of the Charter of the United
Nations in condemning the resolution of the General Assembly adopted November 10, 1975 that wrong-
fully associates Zionism with racism; and
WHEREAS it is with a sense of sadness that this Board of Commissioners notes that many of
the Nations of the World that supported the General Assembly resolution still deny unto their citizens
those liberties that we Americans hold dear and sacred; and
WHEREAS we do believe that the principles embodied in the Charter of the United Nations
are worthy of our continued support so that mankind can live with dignity in peace.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the President, the United States House of Representatives
and the United States Senate be complimented for their statement and resolutions that sharply condemn
the resolution adopted by the General Assembly on November 10, 1975, in that said resolution encourages
anti-semitism by wrongly associating and equating Zionism with racism and racial discrimination, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Congress continue to call for an energetic effort by all those
concerned with the adherence of the United Nations to the purposes stated in its charter to obtain
reconsideration of the aforementioned resolution with a view to removing the subject of Zionism
which is a national but in no way racist philosophy from the context of any programs and discussions
focusing on racism or racial discrimination, and
