January. 10, 1961 • In addition to the fioregoing, the Inter-County Committee has under consideration, an amendment to the State be Act to provide for the state to assume al I relief costs after a district has taxed and expended an amount equal to 1 mill of state equalized valuation. Under the present law, the state may pay relief costs after the County has expended an amount equal to 1-1/2 mills of valuation. With the assistance of the Director of the County Social Welfare Department, your Committee made a study of county costs on welfare expenditures for the year 1959 under present matching of 70-30 - on direct relief as opposed to 50-50, and the millage limitation on expenditures for General Relief of 1-1/2 mills as opposed to I mill. The year 1959 is considered a good average year with respect to 'welfare expenditures. As a result of this study, your Committee recommends that Oakland County take the same position in 1961 as was taken for 1960, namely, that legislation be endorsed for a return to the ,50-50 matching formula between the county and state for welfare costs and oppose legislation which would reduce the present 1-1/2 mill limitation on expenditures to I. mill. Mr. Chairman, I offer the following resolution.: BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Supervisors does hereby endorse and support the foregoing ten items of the Inter-County Legislative Program; BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Oakland County does not approve an amendment to the Welfare Laws -which would reduce the present limitation on costs to be paid by a district for general relief from 1-1/2 mills to 1 mill, it hereby being the declared policy of Oakland County that the 50-50 matching formula provides the most equitable distribution of costs between the County and the State; ' BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County Clerk be requested to forward a certified copy Of this resolution to the Supervisors Inter-County Committee. Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the members of the Legislative Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution. LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE John G. Semann, Chairman William A. Ewart, Carl. F. Ingraham William C. Hudson, Cyril E. Miller Moved by Semann supported by Ingraham the resolution be adopted. A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the resolution was adopted.

In order that this matter may be considered by the By-Laws Committee, your Committee wishes at this time to give notice of a proposed amendment to the By-Laws as follows: RULE XXIII.
