IN FE: AIRPORT COMMITTEE REPOPT
To th , Oakland County Board of Supervisors
cairman, Ladies and C,' ntlemen
The Oakland County Airport Committee consists of ten re -Ler of the Oakland County Board of
.S-,,Lercisors. By law, the Airport Committee is a legal identity s gcc.ided in Act 90-1913 as amended
by act 275-1939.
In Act 90, the are many reuuirements the Committee must fulfill each year. One of the
requirements is to make an annual regrt to the Board. of Supervis(- as to the condition of the airport
or landing field property, and the ci :cdilture of funds.
This report is submitted. tc. the members of the Oakland . :ng0j Board of Supervisors in an
effort to keep them advised as to thc rogress and future d.felLp - 1. of the County owned airports.
During the time it takes 1_ read this report, 1675 cl g.,iation airplanes will land or
take off at the 309 airports in the United States where air ! 1s counted. Seven new student
pilot licenses will be issued, and two new general aviation aircraft wgli be delivered. General aviafion
airplanes in the air during the next twenty minutes will travel more than 135,000 miles, a distance
greater than five times around the world.
General aviation includes the aerial application plane which treats one out of every six acres
of tillable land and helps to make the food on your table better as. less expensive; the businessman
travelling to and from a city or county in his own or n . .•L:. raking decisions affecting the
welfare of thousands of employee5 and citizens, the rear, an.) •71 - eh a vacation trip, the air
ambulance flying a mercy mission, a relaxing Sunday aftErnson , Or the urgency of a spare part
flown in to keep an assembly line running. co, general aviation is essential to many things. In the
United States, general aviation's fleet of 122,'00 active airiflanes is 56 times greater than the total
operated by all United States airlines combine., 1965, the most recent year for which complete data
Is available, general aviation aircraft flew mc• s llian 21 million hours, four times more than all air-
lines combined, and while doing this flew more than 3.3 billion miles.
The growth of general aviation and public air transportation is conssrvatively forecast to
reach 252,000 aircraft by 1977. The commercial airlines will expect to have a total of 3,000 aircraft
while general aviation will operate 249,000.
Airports in Oakland County presently serve general aviation. Therefore, the citizens and
businesses of Oakland County using general aviation as a part of their daily existence must have
adequate facilities. If Oakland County, one of America's fastest growing counties, is to keep abreast
of its aviation demands and expects the present and future businesses to grow, then the demands for
improvement of present and future aviation facilities must be met now, and plans for future facilities
started immediately.
Elected and appointed officials must recognize the present and future demands that are now,
and will be, placed upon the County for airport development. If Oakland County wants to remain compe-
titive for future economic growth, the aviation needs of its citizens and businesses must be met, and
action taken to accomplish these goals.
To further substantiate the overall need, the following information is revealed by Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) records kept at the Oakland-Pontiac Airport. The FAA air traffic control

Supervisors Minutes Continued, November 12, 1968
The following County Road Commission recommendations are listed as presented to your Legis-
lative Committee:
I. Uniform Bidding Bill (SD-1226 in 1968 sE .r.on). The bill attempted to establish uniform
policy and procedures for competitive bidding, award an lerformance of contracts for materials and
equipment purchases. The -dmica ie very commendable but among other things it would require the con-
tracting agency to establish "prevailing wage rates". It would also reduce considerably the type
and amount of work we could perform with our own forces and would greatly increase the amount of paper
work, plan preparation and time delav for advertising. We know that Oakland County Department of Public
Works is against this bill and we take the same position.
2. Existing statutes provide that "construction on county local roads must be matched by
others". There have been attempts to eliminate this requirement but we want the requirement to remain
in effect. We average over $400,000 per year of participation by townshrps and others on various
ma" "hen projects for "local road" construction. in view of the tremendous amount of construction
needed on the 1750 mile local road system and the limited gas weight tax funds available, local funds
are an absolute necessity.
3. Prom time to time in th0. past, It has been introduced which would shift the pay-
ments for county drains (county road benefit) from the county general fund to gas and weight tax funds QC
the Road Commission. We oppose this proposal for obvious reasons which include the fact that Oakland
County and the Board of Supervisors has a considerable responsibility for financing county roads whieh
for the most part, has not been recognized.
4. We support legislation to limit or eliminate the sale of "throw away" glass containers
of the type commonly used for soft drinks, beer and other liquids. The safety hazard which they create
on our highways and the expense of picking them up is substantial and completely unnecessary.
5. Legislation was proposed one or two years ago that would have made it mandatory for members
of the County Road Commission to be elected rather than appointed and it is possible that it will reappear
this year. We oppose the election of Road Commissioners on the basis that road construction should not
he suhlect to a large amount of political agitation. We also believe it would be contrary to recent
trends.
7 . Every legislative year there are several requests to finance activities that are remotely
conf ,.th road construction and maintenanc,. from the restricted gas and weight tax funds which
provl the bulk of our revenue. In spite of constitutional limitations there is still a chance that
such attivities as State Police, Drivers Education and no forth might be able to obtain SOPIC, of our
already inadoquate funds. Needless to say, we oppose any "raid" on these funds.
7. There have been attempts in recent years to pass legislation that would require the State
Tbghway Dc$axtment to reimburse utility companies for any costs they might incur when required to
remove tft...$ facilities from a public road right-of-way. These utilities have been allowed to place
II eir Sacilities in public road right-of-ways for many years at no expense and any legislation that
would open the door toward making a road authority pay for relocation costs would not only be an unjust
expenditure of public funds but would seriously curtail road construction.
8. The Federal Congress is considering legislation that would increase allowable truck axle
lc,e and truck widths on the interstate System. If it is approved, companion type legislation will
eaj...r in our state legislature. Trucks in Michigan are alrca.i .. ,Lrrying gross loads that are twice
as 5Lsh as allowed in all adjacent states; to nncrease this fdlther or to allow them to he 6 inches
wid• r is unthinkable, but it could happen.
Moved. by Slavens supported by Valentine the recommendations of the Road Commission be adopted.
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried,
Michigan Association of Animal Control Officers re: Michigan State Dog Law
Compulsory rabies vaccination law, proof of vaccination by a valid certifjcate showing breed,
sex, age, color and markings of such dog.
Additions to the State Dog Law to provide the power to Dog . Wardens, Deputies and all law
enforcement officers to issue a summons to the violator for any infraction of the Dog Law. Also, a
law whereby upon the request of the Dog Warden o- his Deputy or any law enforcement officer, a don owner
or any person who shall harbor a dog must shcca J. s:5 it valid dog license.
Raise Kennel License fees as follows: 1 dogs, $19.00; 11 to and including 25 dogs, $20.00;
over 25 dogs, $50.00; providing that delinquent peealty fees shall be double the original kennel license
fee after June 1st. Also, when application is made for kennel license, applicant should present approval
in writing from the local zoning board of the City, Township or County.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Legislative Committee of the Oakland County Board of Supervisors,
I move the adoption of the foregoing report of legislative items for inclusion in the 1969 County Legis-
lative Program and that certified copies of this report be forwarded by the County Clerk to the, Oakland
County members of the Legislature requesting their cooperation and support.

IN RE: GOALS STATEMENT-HURON RIVER WATERSHED COUNCIL
To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Huron River Watershed Council, of which Oakland County is a member, was established on
March 25, 1965 in accordance with Public Act 253 (1964) as amended. The Council consists of the official
representatives of the participating governmental units within the river basin. I represent Oakland
County by virtue of appointment by this Board in 1968. The Council has a responsibility to provide con-
structive leadership in the protection and development of the Huron River as a natural resource. To this
end a "Goals Statement", copies of which were mailed to all. Board members, sets forth some basic objectives
and guidelines of activities and actions for the Huron River Watershed Council until. such time as changes
in circumstances or conditions in the river basin necessitate modification or restatement.
Nothing in this "Coals Statement" shall be in any manner interpreted as in conflict with the
letter or intent of the Public Act 253 under which. the Council was formed. Likewise nothing in this stnte-
ment of goals is to he construed as committing any participating governmental unit to actions, now or in
the future, which are in conflict with the hest judgment and authority of the governing body of any govern-
manta) unit. It is re.codnized also that future technological progress, survey and research findin9s and
governmentiaL terelation" must he taken into account in projecting any schedule of attainment of the stated
deals. Like the Council, the strength and influence of this statement of goals is dependent upon the
interest, cooperation, support and implementation by the representatives to the Council and by their member
governmental. units. All other participating units have approved the statement-
The realization of any one of these goals calls for bold and progressive decisions and actions
by County, Township and City governmental bodies within the basin. Implementation of these goals will also
all for agressive support and cooperation from State and Federal Departments and Agencies involved in the
total area of water resources. in addition to support and cooperation of governmental bodies, the attain-
ment of these goals necessitates support hy individuals, property owners, businesses, industries, as well
as private and civic associations and organizations.
