Legislation to encourage the installation of Civil Defense facilities by private initiative by insuring that no burden of state or local taxes shall be incurred on home fallout shelters.

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE John C. Scmann, Chairman William C. Hudson, Cyril E. Miller SUJ1TL,,v of ProposI to A, I r the Puhll: Acts of 1957 (D.P,W. Act) Smen 1-e. The oni ciit hit ri enlai:ed by new language to include all the definitions of municipality a; by the Michigan courts today. so t;.°--1 I-I. Inserts the word "municipality" in conformance with Section 1-e. b6,. Defines "governing body" as it pertains to the various political subdivisions of the State. ife e has been some confusion as to what the definition of a "governing body" is in the Act. Section 8. NIQW language provides for the acquisition of either part of a sewage or water system in an adjoining county or counties with the consent of such municipalities as would be affected. Section 10. Provides that a resolution adopted by the governing body of a, municipality shall also constitute a permit to acquire, maintain and operate a system within the corporate limits of such muninipality. Section 11-1 b. Provides for a contract between one or more municipalities and the county operating undkn this Act. Such contract to provide the security upon which the bonds are issued. Seet , 11-1 d. Changes the language from "loan" to"advance" to bring it in conformance with the le:•guae r:;ed in other acts affecting the county in advancing monies. Is expanded to allow a county to contract with itself for sewage disposal and also ef•.•,• m the contract time from 40 to 50 years. Is expanded to incliale the word "contracts" and also states that any of the methods set i,;1-1 zHfove to finance a project may be used. It further states that any power granted in this Act shall.. L exercised by the municipal governing body, Sec1 ,-,f 1 . Is expanded to provide the municipality the right to special assess a portion or all of its cor!.• trial obligations especially benefited. Sec-L.* Changes the word "cities", etc. to "municipalities" or other public corporations to conform with Section 1-e. Section 17. Provides that a municipality may by contract, agree with the County to deduct sums advanced by the County from that municipality's sales tax. Section 33. Is a new section which provides that the governing body in a municipality may agree by a2773vote of its members to advance any money for delinquent assessments against lands within such municipality, and the municipality- would be reimbursed by the collection of such delinquencies. Explanation of Prop.osedi Amendment_to Act 40 of the Public Acts of 1956 The Drain Code. This proposed amendment to the Drain Code is the same amendment that was Senate Bill 1164 last year, approved by both the House and Senate but vetoed by the Governor due to Wink'', misinformation as to the import of the Rill. The Bill last year and these amendments are felt necessary by our Drain Commission- er. Section 10 is amended to include the words "charter township" or "incorporated village". The Act, as it is presently written, is silent as to ,stablishing of county drains with the consent of the governing body of incorporated villages or chaon°• townships, This would remove any question of the right of the County Drain Commi_ssioner to establish county drain in incorporated villages or charter townships providing, of course, he has the consent of such incorporated village or charter township. 134 135 Supervisors Minutes Continued, December 19, 1961 Section 24 is amended to provide that the Deputy Drain Commissioner shall assist in or execute the duties of the diain commissioner. As the langnaa e in Section 24 is written today there is a question as to when the drain commissioner would t • to be unable to execute his duties. This amend- ment would clarify any question that could aric to when the Drain Commissioner would be unable by removing. that limitation. Section 52 is amended by striking (ea 30 day time limitation that special commissioners on drain condemnations must file their verdict wi 30 days. This is an unrealistic time limitation. In the new language "a reasonable time" would allow the commissioners to give thoughtful study to the matters before them in the event that the condemnation was too complicated to resolve within a 30 day period. This section is also amended to allow the commissioners to have with them when they are determining the necessity for damages, the petition, maps, etc. showing the project proposed to be established. The new language also sets forth a new form upon which the commissioners shall make their return to the Probate Court. The new language also provides for the filing of such return of the commissioners in the office of the Register of Deeds and in the office of the Drain Commissioner. Section 53 which is a new section, provides that an owner may use his land across which he has given a drain easement for any purpose not inconsistent with the drain easement. This section is deemed necessary because of the confusion that has arisen as to what rights the owner of property would have over property he has given for a drain easement. Section 162 is a new section which provides that the drain commissioner, in the event of an incorporation or annexation, may, upon petition by the governing body of one of the territories involved, reapportion the at-large assessment against the remaining territory of the unit of government and the newly incorporated or annexed territory and unit of government. This section is inserted because there are no provisions in the Drain Code to allow such reapportionment. Section 321 is an amendment to provide that if the highway department has an easement for road purposes that a drain may be constructed in such easement with the consent of the governing body of the highway and with the consent of the owner of the fee title. This is to clear up the contradictory language in the law that exists. The highway law states that gas lines, other public utilities, drains and sewers may be laid in the easement of the highway with the consent of the governing body only. This amendment in Section 321 would make the section in the drain code conform with the section in the general highway law. Section 432 which is a new section, provides that any person who wilfully obstructs, prohibits, etc., the drain commissioner or drainage board from entering upon lands to make a survey involving a drain or to clean out, maintain, etc., an established drain, is guilty of a misdemeanor and such person would, if convicted, be liable for all damages sustained by such obstruction. This language is inserted to provide a penalty for the wilful acts as described above. Moved by Semann supported by Cyril Miller the resolution be adopted: A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the resolution was adopted. Misc. 3856 By Mr. Levinson IN RE: AMENDMENTS TO OAKLAND COUNTY EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM To the Oakland County Hoard of Supervisors Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen; WHEREAS the present provisions of the County Retirement Plan provide for the cessation of credited service accumulation at age seventy except for the purpose of qualifying for a service retire- ment allowance, and WHEREAS the Oakland County Employees Retirement Commission, on December 4, 1961, approved the abolishment of the present age seventy limitation, and the determination of the service retirement allowance in the same manner and according to the same benefit formula as presently - apply under age seventy; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the resolution establishing the Oakland County Employees Retirement System, as amended, be further amended as follows: 1. That section 2 (k) be amended to read as follows: "Final average compensation" means the average of the highest annual compensations received by a member niring a period of 5 consecutive years of service contained within his 10 years of service immediately preceding his retirement.

If he has 10 or more years of credited service upon leaving county service he shall be retired. with a retirement allowance provided for in section 25. 3. That section 24 be amended to read as follows: Any member who has attained or attains age 65 years may be continued in county employ- ment: Provided, that no such continuance in county service shall, be granted for more than one year at any one time, and that such continuance is (1) requested in writing by said member, (2) approved by his department head, and (3) approved by the Commission.
