Misc. 5057 By Mr. Grba IN RE: TENTATIVE BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1970 To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: The Property Tax Limitation Statute (Act 62, Section 9, Public Acts of 1933, M.S.A. 7.61) provides the County shall, at the April Session of the Board of Supervisors, submit a budget to the County Tax Allocation Board for its use in determining the County's share of the fifteen Mill general property tax for the ensuing year. To this end, as jointly charged, your Finance Committee, your Personnel Practices Committee and the County Board of Auditors herewith present their respective recommendations for the period January 1, 1970 to December 31, 1970. In an effort to reduce to a realistic minimum the County Allocation request, your Finance Committee has, after a week long intensive review with the Auditors and County Department Heads, and after taking into consideration the joint recommendations of the Personnel Practices Committee and the Auditors, further adjusted the Auditors recommendations as follows: I. Reduced non-departmental and departmental anticipated expenditures $439,000.00. (This includes a $10,000.00 reduction in that portion of D.P.W. salaries anticipated to be charged to the County Budget.) 2. Increased anticipated 1970 receipts $125,000.00. 3. Added $400,000.00 for the Oakland County Road Commission for a matching New Roads Con- struction Program, as explained later in the report. Funds for the salaries of the budget, including provisions for 115 new positions jointly recommended by the Personnel Practices Committee and the Auditors (with the exception of the $10,000.00 D.P.W. reduction above noted) have been included in the committee's recommendations.

SYSTEM To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: I would like to report to the County Board of Supervisors on the Public Hearing held on the Antiballistic Missile System in this Auditorium on April 7, 1969. The purpose of this report is to acquaint the members of this Board with the handling of this particular hearing and I would like to file this as a formal objection. This is being done by Mr. Kasper and myself, as members of the Planning, Zoning and Building Committee. We would like to object to the manner in which this hearing was brought about and conducted for the following reasons: 1. The motion, at the Planning, Zoning and Building Committee meeting, contained a provision that the hearing be approved by the entire Board of Supervisors before it was conducted. This was not done. The Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Olson, announced the meeting at the end of a Board of Super- visors meeting and did not obtain approval of the full Board as stipulated and as promised in the Committee meeting. 2. No agenda was presented before or at the hearing. The Chairman made up an agenda for himself and put ten objectors to the system at the top of the agenda, none of which were private citizens of Oakland County. Four of these people were professional political people, all from the same party, and used the hearing for a political sounding board, to the detriment of the citizens attending. 3. One of the supervisors on the hearing committee was interrupted the only time he attempted to speak. He then asked to be heard at the end of the hearing and was told that he could be. The Chairman then immediately forgot to let this supervisor speak as he had promised even though he had strongly urged this member to attend this Public Hearing, We are objecting because we feel that this so-called Public Hearing was not in keeping with the dignity of the Oakland County Board of Supervisors, and was in fact, degrading to the members present and the Board of Supervisors in general. We feel that this public display points up the fact that public hearings must be approved by the full Board and must be conducted only by the full Board for the best interest of the members of the Board individually, and Board of Supervisors in general, as well as the citizens of Oakland County. E. Frank Richardson Paul E. Kasper Moved by Brennan supported by Aaron that the question of all Public Hearings be referred to the Local Affairs Committee to review a method of having regular, periodic Public Hearings on all issues that confront the County and establish a procedure for Public Hearings. Discussion followed. The Chairman referred the motion to the Committee on Committees. Moved by O'Brien supported by Richardson that when the Board adjourns, it stand adjourned until May 1, 1969 at 9:30 A. M. A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried. Moved by O'Donoghue supported by Bawden the Board adjourn. A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the motion carried.
