IN RE: LOCAL TAXES COMMITTEE REPORT
To the Honorable Board. of Supervisors
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Your Committee on Local Taxes has examined reports from the various townships and cities
having taxes to be spread upon the County tax roll, and has checked these reports with the pertinent law
(Sec. 37 General Property- Tax. Law), has caused corrections to be made where necessary and now certifies
that such reports are correct and in order.
Your Committee has tabulated the total amount of taxes to be spread on the tak rolls, which
tabulation is attached hereto and made a part hereof.
Your Committee has prepared tax warrants showing the amounts authorized to be spread, which
warrants are submitted herewith, and which are the basis for the tabulation above mentioned, and it is
recommended that your Honorable Body authorize the Clerk to sign these warrants.
Current Drain-at-large taxes are a municipal (township and city) charge and in townships where
no millage was allocated, they must be paid from “.n.tingent (general) funds. If millage was allocated
and inclusion of drain-at-large items would ca-in! -fe levy to exceed the allocated rate, the spread must
stay within its allocated rate, and the excess be •jd from the contingent (general) fund.
Your Committee offers the following resc,adtion:
1. BE IT RESOLVED that this Board adopt this report of the Committee on Local Taxes with the
recommendations therein contained as a part of the permanent records of this Board;
2. BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk be authorized and directed to sign the several tax
warrants on which the attached tabulation was based, thereby authorizing and directing the various
assessing officers, within the 15 . mill limitation, to levy the amounts set forth therein for 1961.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Committee whose signatures appear below, I move the adoption
of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: ROADS AT SERVICE CENTER AND ON COUNTY OWNED LANDS
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
MY. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Your Roads and Bridges Committee has considered the benefits which the County might derive by
having plans for construction of either new roads or improvement of existing roads on county-owned lands
reviewed by engineers of the County Road Commission. This subject was brought up at one of the meetings
of the Board of Supervisors earlier by a member of the Road Committee and the matter was referred to the
Committee for study.
Since that time, your Committee has taken this up with members of the County Road Cormission
which has expressed a willingness to cooperate with the County in this regard. The Road Commission has
trained personnel whose daily job is the preparation of plans for roads and road improvements. This
knowledge and experience should be used by the County.
Your Committee recommends that all designs and specifications for reads improved or constructed
on properties owned by the County be submitted to Highway Engineers of the County Road Commission for
review and approval.
Mr. Chairman, I offer the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED that the foregoing recommendation be approved and referred to the Buildings and
Grounds Committee and the Board of Auditors.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Roads and Bridges Committee, 1 move the adoption of the
foregoing resolution.

Mr. Chairman, I offer the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED that the position of County Budget Director be established under the Board of
Auditors effective January l, 1962;
BE IF FURTHER RESOLVED that such position be filled by appointment and serve at the pleasure

The Clerk read the following letter:
October 2, 1961
To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
Oakland County, Michigan
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Earlier in this meeting, your Ways and Means Committee presented a resolution for the consider-
ation of your Honorable Body, in which it recommended that the position of Budget Director be created
within the framework of the Board of Auditors Department. The annual salary for the proposed position
was recommended to you by the Salaries Committee.
Your action in approving such reconmendation leads me to make the following statement regarding
the same.
During the meetings of the committee who recommended the position be created, I was approached
by several members who suggested that T make application for the job, if created. My two associates on
the Board of Auditors assured me that I. would be their first choice.
In view of receiving such assurances from my two colleagues and strictly contingent upon me
receiving the appointment at an annual salary re less than that recommended by the Salaries Committee
on this date, 1 hereby tender my resignation as a member of the Board of Auditors, presently serving as
its Chairman, effective as of December 31, 1961.
The acceptance of my resignation by your Honorable Body is necessary before I would be eligible
to accept the appointment to the position of Budget Director.
In order that the newer members of your Hoard may have some knowledge of my service with the
County, I wish to state that I. have been a member of the Board of Auditors since July 2, 1930, and have
been its Chairman for the past twenty-five years, an honor which you, as members of the Board of Super-
visors, have so graciously bestowed upon me.
After serving in that capacity for so many years, J find it a most tough assignment to tender
my resignation at this time. However, I fully realize that changes in administrative functions are
necessary if our County goverment is to keep pace with changing conditions and my appointment to the
position of Budget Director would be a challenge I would be most happy to accept.
In closing, may I state, that 1 have enjoyed the friendships made and the confidence vested in
me by both the members of your honorable body and my two associates on the Board of Auditors and sincerely
trust these will carry over with my appointment as Budget Director.
Sincerely,
Robert Y. Moore
Discussion followed.
