3. Allow Counties tc oeenizo Municipal. Housing Conmd.ss. Under existing statutes
counties are not included in ti: provisions of the lam permitting Jocal units of government to

The following proposal was refereed to the Health and Welfare Committees for study and
recomnendation:

provide full reimbursement to the county for cost of crippled and afflicted patients under the
jurisdiction of the Michigan Crippled Children's Commission; State presently reimburses i.0% of
adjusted ward costs.
Your Legislative Committee did not approve the item of proposed legislation to allow the
Board of Supervisors, in cooperation with the Friend of the Court, to set a service charge of not to
exceed 35 for handling support and alimony funds in divorce cases.
In the opinion of the Committee, this service charge would be deducted from the amount
now received by recipients of support and alimony funds, making less the funds so received and
thereby increasing hardships and privation in a great many instances.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the members of the Legislative Comniittee, I move that the
foregoing recommendations be approved and that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Super-
visors Inter-County Committee and the Michigan State Association of Supervisors.

IN RE: REPORT ON REFERRAL RESOLUTIONS PERTAINING TO LECISLAT1VE ITEMS
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr, Chairman, ladies and Gentle imm:
Your LeHslative Committee presented the County's 1965 Legislative Program to this Board
of Supervisors on Be.:,,mb•r 15, 1.965, at which time it was considered and approved.
Since that !ime,, several other matters of loaislative interest have been received, and
your Committee wishes to report its actions and recommendations relative to these items.
The Legislative Committee has recommended concurrence in the following resolution:
BF IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Township Supervisors Association does oppose the
State Tax, Commission's method of spreading the assessment roll wherein it is necessary that the
equalized valuation, as well as the assessed valuation, be set forth,
The Hillsdale County resolution pertaining to boat numbering as provided by Act. 240 of
the Public Acts of 1962, as amended, recommends that the law be amended to provide that $2.00
out of the $3.00 numbering fee be returned to the County in which the applicant resides; provided
that no County which ejects not to participate in a marine enforcement program shall. he eligible
to receive any division of this fee.
Your Committee recommends joining the resolution.
A resolution from Washtenaw County endorsing Oakland County's proposal that a study
should he made of the problems of cost involved in criminal appeal cases was received and approved.
It should be noted that this item has been presented to the and will be included in their
1965 legislative program.
Your Legislative Committee considered the referral by - this Board of the matter of
legislation providing for four 141 year terms for elected township officials and it was learned
that a House Bill. 2106 has already been introduced in the Legislature providing for such terms,
Your Committee took action to concur in permissive legislation. providing four (4) year
terms for elected township officials.
A resolution from the Calhoun County Board of Supervisors concerning the general property
I ax and favoring a. revised tax program for the State of Michigan was referred to the Ways and Means
Committee for consideration and recommendation.
At the meeting of the Legislative Committee on February 11, limited study and
consideration was given to the Wayne County, so-cal led. Home Rule Bill which was approved by them
on January 1965, in a form different from that earlier proposed and in which the legislativo
Committee ,,:vnL'.ui'red with the recommendaiion of the County Special Bor ic Rule Study. Committee to the
Board of Supervisors for approval. Copies of the new bill were forwarded earlier to all members
of the Board.
Specifically, the Committee wishes to report, to the Board of Supervisors disapproval of
the sections of the new bill which make it mandatory that charter commissioners and the election
of a board of supervisors be on a partisan basis and also that the county offices of She .
Prosecutor, Treasurer, Clerk, Register of Deeds and Drain Commissioner be fitted by election.
The reasoning behind their disapproval of those items is that it WAS felt by the Committee
that each county should he permitted to determine whether or not its needs were best met by partisan
Or non-partisan selection and, while the Committee feels that. the Clerk, Treasurer, Prosecutor and
Sheriff must he elected under the terms of the Constitution of 1963, it does not feel that the
possibility of consolidation, elimination or appointment of the other offices should be forbidden
by the enabling legislation but should be left up to the charter commission.
The Committee was, however, in approval of the new proposal, as against the one with
was approved by the Board of Supervisors, which permits the county to extend services into a
municipality only upon the invitation of, or by agreement with, the legislative body of the
municipality rather than the provision which was in the original proposed bill which permitted the
county to invade the municipality- with services subject only to a veto.
It is hoped that in making further studies of this question, weight will be given to
these statements of position of the Legislative Committee as it is the opinion of the Conunittee
that if Wayne County is to propose and support its latest version of the so-called Wayne County
bill, it would be of little value for Oakland County to support the abandoned bill.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Legislative Committee, I move the adoption of the fore-
going report and the recommendations contained therein.

IN RL R OF TTIE TRAFFIC SAFETY SPECIAL STUDY COMMITTEE
To the Pal Ind County Bo.,. of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and
Pursuant. to Ilc ,-1,tion No. 4333 adopted by this Beard of Supervisors on June 22, 1964,
there was arppointod A. Spec ii Study- Coimnittee to investigate and report its recommendations as CO
whether or not this hoara of Supervisors should. create a county traffic safety organization in
accordance with Section of Act No. 300 of the Public Acts of 1 0140, as amended.
The Traffic Safety Special Study Comittee, to which was referred the question. "Shall the
Hoard of Supervisors create a county traffic safety organization to cooperate with governmental units
and officials thereof in th , solution of traffic safety- problems in Oakland County ?", submits herein
its report and recomincridiri
I. Is there a ee for a traffic safety organization?
Darin,: the yrar oC 1064 there were 201 traffic fatalities on the streets and highways of
Oakland County, d4.11 is about 10 of the Michigan toil, It also represents an alarming increase
over p r'e ion s s and certainly. worthy of some sober thought. There are no final figures avail-
able on the traffic accidents but tic re is an indication that there was an increase this past year.
Loss of life, injuries .property damo.2o, and asseciatid costs should warrant serious consideration .
for efforts to try to curh these rt•••,.•1 able lo••-s. The danger ahead is even more alarming in
Oakland County t,ith au ever-increas.:1.g populati...i, traffic getting heavier every day, more drivers,
more vehicles, Joo miles of travel, which is another way of saying more chances for more accidents,
more injuries, in:re d-aths. Are we willing to accept more injuries and deaths in Oakland County if
there is any meair. of helping to prevent them?
The' C6,kmittee met with Cerald W. Shipman, Executive Secretary of the Michigan State Safety
Commission; James Cohoon, Executive Director of the Concise(' County Traffic Safety Commission; and
Norman Olman, District Director of the National. Safety Council; all of whom advised that organized
citizens groups have efjrctively promoted improved traffic safety - in several geographical areas.
The available literature verifies the same opinion.
The Committee is convinced that traffic accidents in Oakland County can be reduced through
a balanced program fully used by public officials and fully supported by the public on a continuing
basis. Traffic safety is primarily the responsibility of public officials to determine needs and to
carry out sound accident-prevention programs. The fact remains that they cannot do what needs doing
unless they have the organized support of informed citizens. Officjals can only do what the public
WI ll accept and support,
in view of tire Information collected, tire Committee believes that it is highly desirable to
organize the county citizens and resources into a team effort in the form of a. traffic safety
organization.
2. Should the Board of Superviscirs create the or
includes 23 cities, lb villages and 24 townships resting within interwoven
boundary tines with a wide diversification of interests ana activities but all served by a system
of highways which no one unit can control, The county plays an important part in the lives of its
citizens, governmentally and in citizen activities. A county organization should (I) unite .the
several conivamity groups, (2) recognize I accident problems, and (3) offer an effective unit to
achieve urmferm practices In traffic ai,.ni,ctio.•ut as well as accident prevention wtiere varying
in ;,t• Lgrounds have difficulty meeting on a common gi ound.
itrrfiori of arcident prevotion programs can best- be accomplished through a coordi-
nating agkne'. n, I di tho widest possible exchange of traffic safety . infornation among all jurisdictions.
Suporyisors Minutes Continued. Fehr-wiry 2i, 1005
The o ord nt i in: organ i ziat ian may take va r ian forms inich a (!) a county fede rat i on of safety!
oriallizat ions Liam the several communitios; ) a voluntary central organization with subsidiary!
coatin moos a Oazii. community, Cl- ( in an offic ia I ly designated or with representation
IrOIA all communities and groups interosted in the problem.
The Conmittee believes the third method is most feasible and the Hoard of Supervisors
cal pa of the iegal representativo or all governmental units in Oakland County should initiate
oflicial action to organize a county traffic safety organization. Such authorization would provide
IWCO ,;:--,r,\ legal status to the organization as well as insure continued administration, some limirod
financing and staffing of a traffic or safety commission to perCorm its functions most effectively.
• \Chat would he the oblisctives7
The broad objectives of citizen organization are spelled out in the "Organized Citizen
Support" section at the Action Program for Highway Safety as follows:
a. "Conduct organized educational campaigns to inform tho public about the accident
protions. major traffic safoty needs, and the official program; to encourage each citizen to
accept his responsibility for his and others safety; and to support official action to this end.
Ii. "Cooperwte with public oft n ials in building sound programs for accident prevention
and traffic control; and to support public officials in promoting safe and efficient movement of
traffic.
c up rev i le means for t o l Mit a ry c oord i nat i on of pl anti ing and exec it ing project s by the
many groups interested in the traffic problcm.
d. "Maintain continuity of an effoctive accident prevention program."
4. tyfiat are the existing organization- 7
The cities! of Pontiac and Royal ha L ha \c traffic safety organizations which servo many
useful purposes but are iimited in the goographical area then can servo. The Safety and T/affic
Division of the Automobile Club of Michigan sponsors the Northwestern Safety and Traffic Committee
which serves the southeastern portion of Oakland County. The Kiswnis Cluh of Ferndale is studying
the possibility of forming a traffic safoty committee to sorve their coununity. Ail of these
organizations would he useful resourcos in a cope ad county activity.
The Mott Cantor for Community Affairs, Oakland tnivorsity, in conjunction with the
highway Traffic Safoty Cenrer of Michigan !w a l e tinlye l anty, has organized an Oakland County Traffic
Safety Study Commitloo composed of Interestd and loading citizens in Oakland County. The funds
al purposo of the study is to examine the sIatas of existing conditions, determine how present
resourcos can to utilizod more effoctively. propose additional resourcos and activities needod to
roduce the toll. and prepare a plan to obtain the noeded resources and action within Oakland County!.
5. Hon should the County traffic organization he created?
Due te the Mott Centor study. the actual organizational structure should he dolayod until
thoir final report is available. which is planned for the latter part of Juno. In the meantime, the
Hoard of Supervisors could ondorso the formation of the organization. appoint a standing traffic
committee within its membership. and formulato tentative plans Car the successful operation of the
arawnization. shich would include a full-time director.
0. How would the organization be financed?
Voluntary financial contributions and participation seems to be the key - to the success of
man:, dxihtinL: traffic f-;atoty organi:ations. Industry. business. civic and sorvice groups would be
encouraged to contribute and participate in traffic safety project. Tho extont of such projects
Lould in tinal bo dopendent upon tie availablo funds but much can be done through tho promotion of
citizon information programs. There will he nood Cor office spa.ce, clerical help. supplios and the
eirweter, shich could logically bocomo tho financial responsibility! of the county government.
7. Recommendations.
Rased an study. readings. and interviews. the Committoo presents the following recommend_
at ions for your consideration and action:
• Endorse and support the creation of an Oakland County! Traffic Safety! Council.
2. Crealtvo a Traffic Safety Committee of three members of the Hoard of Supervisors to

and maintain a liaison position botwoen the Hoard of Supervisors and the Council. if it is recommended
as a county government responsibility.
