Obrecht, Dennis Powers, Donn L. Wolf IN RE: (SUPPORT) - NON-TAXATION ALTERNATIVES TO ROAD ENHANCEMENTS To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS good roads are vital for the commercial viability, tourism, economic well-being, safety, and quality of life in Oakland County; and WHEREAS Oakland County=s Road Commission and community have over 5,000 miles of road to maintain, plus 310 miles of state highway under contract; and WHEREAS the above factors are being jeopardized due to deteriorating pavement conditions, a climbing accident rate, increasing traffic volumes and congestion, and a failure of the legislature to adequately fund road maintenance and improvement projects; and WHEREAS Michigan has ranked in the bottom 10 states for over 30 years of road funding, to the point where Michigan ranks 49th in per capita spending on roads, and 50th in spending per thousand miles of travel; and WHEREAS it has been over 14 years since the legislature in Michigan voted to increase its 15 cent gas tax, when only 5 states have a lower rate, and the dollar amount generated declines every year on a per vehicle basis as newer cars get increasingly better gas mileage; and WHEREAS Oakland County receives back less than it generates each year in fuel taxes, and thus, is a major donor county to the rest of the State; and WHEREAS Oakland County suffers from inadequate federal fund allocations because, firstly, Michigan is a donor state to the rest of the nation; secondly, because the state does not spend a fair share of its federal funds in Oakland County; and thirdly, because the State Department of Transportation last year deviated from its traditionally accepted sharing of federal ISTEA funds by keeping most of the local portion to fund three expensive State projects; and WHEREAS current law has for decades stipulated a fair and accepted distribution of State fuel taxes which should be continued, but is under attack by those seeking to direct up to 70% of new State road revenues, and up to 90% of all federal resources to the State Department of Transportation; and Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 20, 1997 99 WHEREAS legislative proposals to increase funding of the Michigan Transportation Fund, by addressing gas and diesel taxes as well as other mechanisms, are being considered this year. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners encourages legislators to actively seek non-tax alternatives to finance road enhancements. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Board strongly supports change in the road distribution formula that would reduce the disparity between what Oakland County contributes versus what it receives from State funds, due to decades of Oakland being a donor county to the other counties and the State. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Board opposes any legislative effort to increase the State share of road funds by dedicating portions of the revenues Aoff the top@, or prior to use of the distribution formula for any special fund, purpose, agency, or cause, for any period of time, as that would erode the local road funds and destroy decades of equitable funding arrangements and inter-agency cooperation. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Board supports continued application of the 75%-25% principle of federal aid sharing between the state and its local road agencies. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby forms an Ad Hoc Committee to be appointed by the Chairperson of the Board to study and report on alternative means of funding road improvements. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution shall be sent to all Oakland County State legislators, the County=s legislative agents, and the Michigan Association of Counties.
