IN RE: LOCAL TAXES COMMITTEE REPORT
Mr, Chairman, 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 tax 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 contingent (general) funds. If millage was
allocated and inclusion of drain-at-large items would cause the levy to exceed the allocated rate',
the spread must stay within its allocated rate, and the excess be paid from the contingent (general)
fund.
Your Committee offers the following resolution:
1. BE TT 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. HE IT 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 limitations, to levy the amounts set forth therein
for 1963.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Committee whose signatures appear below, I move the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.
COMMITTEE ON LOCAL TAXES
Louis F. Oldenburg, Chairman
Sydney Frid, John Lessiter, Curtis Potter
(Local Taxes Committee Report appears on the following page.)
The Chairman announced that a public hearing would be held at this time, in accordance
with state law, for anyone to object to the spread of taxes if they had objections.

Moved by Oldenburg supported by Lessiter the report be adopted.

2. That in he 9terest of efficiency and safety, these controls should be in operation
by the next air-conditioning season.
3. That the estimated cost of such system, would be $60,000.00.
4. Hyde & Bobbie, Inc., the mechanical consultants on the Court House, have agreed to a
design fee, including advice as to the type of control items and the supervision of installation
Upon award of contract, to be 10% of the construction cost, not to exceed $6,000.00.
In the opinion of your Committees, it is in the best interest of the County that the
design work be accomplished at this time, for further report and approval of this Board.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Auditors be authorized to retain the
mechanical engineers Hyde & Bobbie, inc. Detroit, Michigan, for the design of a central control
panel for the control and operation of the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems in
