Misc. 5500 By Mr. Grba IN RE: REPEAL OF BOARD OF AUDITORS To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners - Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is the desire of this Board of Commissioners to adopt County Home Rule to modernize govern- ment and make it more responsive to the will of the electors of the county. This is a long drawn out process that will take years. One of the main features of Home Rule is the County Executive, an office that would separate the administrative functions from the legislative body. The State Legislature has a County Controller Act that embodies all the duties and functions of the Auditors Act, except the County Controller is one officer and he is known as the Chief Accounting Officer. The County Commissioners can abolish the Board of Auditors and replace it with the County Controller and effect a Home Rule provision that is more desirable because it will affect the separation of the administration functions from the legislative functions. When the three man, partisan Board of Auditors created by the voters November 5, 1918, when the County was in a rural state of being, and the old Board of Supervisors was composed of part-time appointments from the cities and township supervisors, and required two organizational meetings because city members were appointed during the spring and township supervisors were elected during the fall, the supervisors were required to appoint two partisan auditors of the majority party and one partisan auditor• by the minority party for three year terms, and a chairman from the three each year. This same process is followed by the one-man, one-vote Board of Commissioners of Oakland. The following counties, the largest in the state, all have a Controller: Macomb, Genesee, Kent, Ingham, Saginaw, Washtenaw, Kalamazoo, Calhoun, Jackson, Bay, Eaton and Marquette; from the Michigan County Government Financial Report, Depart- ment of Treasury, December 31, 1969, with the exception of Bay and Washtenaw Counties, which had their Auditors repealed by local act, as reported in Michigan Association of Counties Legislative Action Bulletin this summer. Wayne County has the elected Auditor. Of the remaining nineteen largest counties, twelve counties are operating under the Controller Act. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the ballot question "Repeal of the County Board of Auditors" be placed on the November 3, 1970 General Election ballot, as follows: "Shall the electors of Oakland County repeal the partisan Board of Auditors to be replaced by a County Controller, who shall be appointed by the elected County Commissioners in accordance with Section 131d of Act No. 156 of the Public Acts of 1851, being Section 46.13b of the Compiled Laws of 1948 and as amended by Public Act of 1969, No. 49g1, and given immediate effect July 17, 1969? Shall the partisan Board of County Auditors Office be abolished? Yes No Em" George N.
