This Oakland County Board of Supervisors is composed of members elected from Districts within
the County as provided for under the reapportionment statute embodying the one-man, one-vote concept.

Supervisors and other persons who were appointed by local units of government.
The present Oakland County Board of Supervisors, being the first Board to be composed of

programs by its legislative actions that would be an inspiration and guide for future boards to follow.
THEREFORE, MR. CHAIRMAN, I move the following resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED that an appropriate plaque be affixed on the wall of the front lobby of the
Supervisors Auditorium, such plaque to be inscribed with the names and district designations of the
