IN RE: PROPOSED CITY OF NOVI DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY - TAX CAPTURE
EXEMPTION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the City of Novi has passed a resolution declaring its intention to
create and provide for the operation of a downtown development authority (DDA);
and
WHEREAS on February 22, 1999, the City of Novi held a Public Hearing on the
adoption of a proposed ordinance creating the Novi DDA and designating the
boundaries of the downtown district; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Ad Hoc Tax Increment Financing District Review
Committee (Ad Hoc Review Committee), acting pursuant to Miscellaneous
Resolution #99010, met on March 11, 1999, to evaluate the proposed City of Novi
DDA as to its consistency with State statute(s) and to evaluate the impact of the
projected revenue loss to the County; and
WHEREAS the Downtown Development Authority Act, 1975 Public Act 197, as
amended, at Section 3(3), authorizes the governing body of a taxing jurisdiction
levying ad valorem property taxes that would otherwise be subject to capture by a
DDA to exempt its taxes from capture by adopting, not more than 60 days after the
Public Hearing on the adoption of a proposed DDA, a resolution to that effect and
filing a copy with the clerk of the municipality proposing to create the
authority; and
WHEREAS Section 3(3) of 1975 Public Act 197, as amended, authorizes the
governing body of a taxing jurisdiction levying ad valorem property taxes to
rescind any resolution exempting its taxes from capture by a proposed DDA; and
WHEREAS the statutorily mandated 60 day time period within which the County
must act to preserve its right to exempt its taxes from capture forces the County
to make its tax exemption determination before a detailed downtown development
plan has been prepared and adopted by a municipality, making responsible
determinations as to proposed DDA compliance with State statute(s) and
evaluations of fiscal impact on County revenues both premature and
speculative; and
WHEREAS the Ad Hoc Review Committee, faced with the legal mandate that the

discharging its duties and may so advise DTC. In either such event, the County
shall use reasonable efforts to locate another securities depository. Under such
circumstances (if there is no successor securities depository), the County and
the bond registrar and paying agent shall be obligated to deliver bond
certificates in accordance with the procedures established by this Resolution.
In the event bond certificates are issued, the provisions of this Resolution
shall apply to, among other things, the transfer and exchange of such
certificates and the method of payment of principal of and interest on such
certificates. Whenever DTC requests the County and the bond registrar and paying

BY: Ruel E. McPherson, District #25
IN RE: REQUEST STATE LEGISLATURE TO REVISE PROPERTY VALUATION RULES FOR
INHERITED PROPERTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the stressful period following the death of a relative is a one
which requires many confusing decisions which must be made regarding the affairs
of the decedent=s estate; and
WHEREAS the current Michigan statute governing the valuation of property
transferred due to an inheritance to other than a surviving spouse calls for the
property to be assessed at 50% of its true cash value for taxation purposes; and
WHEREAS this likely sudden increase in valuation causes a similar increase
in property taxes; and
WHEREAS this increase in taxes may force a beneficiary to sell property
owned by his or her family for generations; and
WHEREAS the public is not generally aware of this section of State law
until too much time has passed to formulate a strategy to keep inherited property
in families after its transfer due to death.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
hereby requests that the Michigan Legislature initiate legislation to address
this problem, specifically by amending the property valuation rules to state that
any inheritance of real property shall not be treated as a transfer for two years
after the death of the benefactor.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED and the Oakland County Board of Commissioners also
requests the Legislature to develop educational materials to be available to
people involved in estate transactions explaining the transfer rules and
their implications.

IN RE: GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT AMENDMENT, SECTION 21(g) - ENVIRONMENTAL
INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in response to Oakland County=s tremendous growth in industrial,
commercial and residential development during the past ten years, the County
Board of Commissioners has established a 5-year/$25 million fund to assist
cities, villages and townships (CVTs) in their local environmental and
infrastructure needs; and
WHEREAS the allocation to each CVT of the annual appropriation has been
established through the annual General Appropriations Act, in Section 21.(g),
passed by the Board of Commissioners, from funds within Delinquent Tax Revolving
Fund; and
WHEREAS the formula for such allocation is based on 50% of the percentage
of each CVT=s State taxable value (STV) to the County=s total taxable value for
the most recently completed assessment year, and 50% on the percentage of each
CVT=s population, to the County=s total population based on the most recently
completed census; and
WHEREAS many of the County=s growing communities have elected to fund a
mid-decade census, and would like to have their most recent population figures
used in such formula calculations.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the General Appropriations Act is hereby
amended in Section 21.(g) to read:
(g) Annually, from Fiscal Year 1999 through Fiscal Year 2003,
$5,000,000.00 will be transferred from the Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund
to the General Fund to allow for the establishment of an Environmental
Infrastructure Fund (#263). These funds will then be allocated and
transferred from the General Fund Operating Transfer account (#90-310000-
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 15, 1999
150
41000-8001) to the Environmental Infrastructure Fund. The allocation of
the Environmental Infrastructure Fund to local cities, villages and
townships (CVTs) will be based upon criteria established by the Board of
Commissioners. The total allocation, however, to any approved CVT will
coincide with an allocation which is based on 50% of the percentage of
each CVT=s state taxable value (STV) to the County=s total taxable value
for the most recently completed assessment year, and 50% on the percentage
of each CVT=s population, to the County=s total population based on the
most recently completed Census certified census data for each CVT.

IN RE: ENVIRONMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND DISBURSEMENT POLICY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County has experienced tremendous growth in industrial,
commercial and residential development; and
WHEREAS the population in Oakland County has increased from 396,000 in 1950
to 1.2 million in 1998; and
WHEREAS this development within Oakland County has stressed drain and sewer
capacities creating potentially hazardous conditions affecting public health and
the environment; and
WHEREAS Oakland County will continue to work with the Federal and State of
Michigan governments to increase the share of dollars flowing into infrastructure
projects for the County and its cities, villages and townships (CVTs); and
WHEREAS the National Association of Counties estimates that nationally,
CVTs will be required to spend $138 billion over the next 20 years to comply with
Federal mandates involving clean water and storm water safety requirements; and
WHEREAS the County of Oakland has indicated its intent to transfer $5.0
million annually for five years from the County=s Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund
into an Environmental Infrastructure Fund to assist CVTs in addressing clean
water and storm water needs; and
WHEREAS the portion of the annual Environmental Infrastructure Fund
appropriation available upon proper application to each Oakland County CVT has
been established by formula set forth in the 1999 General Appropriations Act
adopted by the Board of Commissioners.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that CVT project expenses eligible for
reimbursement from the Environmental Infrastructure Fund are limited to those CVT
expenses that the County is authorized by law to financially support and are
limited to expenses incurred in connection with environmental remediations or
improvements relating to ground and/or surface water, water supply, sewer and/or
drainage systems. Additionally, water pollution control efforts incurred as part
of CVT road projects shall be eligible for reimbursement as provided herein.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the following process shall be followed in
seeking reimbursement:
1) The Environmental Infrastructure Fund established by the Board of
Commissioners shall be maintained by the Department of Management
and Budget, Fiscal Services Division as a separate fund to be
utilized to help protect the health, safety and welfare of the
people of Oakland County.
2) Each CVT shall submit project expense reimbursement requests to the
Fiscal Services Division, which shall be reported to the Board of
Commissioners. Requests shall state the project purpose and scope,
estimated costs, including any support detail, to insure compliance
with policies established for fund disbursements.
3) In order to secure an Environmental Infrastructure Fund funding
commitment at the outset of a project (pre-project authorization), a
CVT may, utilizing the procedures set forth herein, request
reimbursement authorization prior to project completion with the
understanding that the actual disbursement of funds shall not occur
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 15, 1999
151
until after a CVT demonstrates that it has actually incurred the
expenses eligible for reimbursement under this resolution.
4) The Fiscal Services Division shall maintain accounts within the
Environmental Infrastructure Fund for each Oakland County CVT.
Utilizing the appropriate formula adopted by the Board of
Commissioners, the accounts shall reflect the amount of the total
annual Environmental Infrastructure Fund appropriation(s)
apportioned to each CVT, less any authorized disbursements. At
least annually, the Fiscal Services Division shall report the status
of the Environmental Infrastructure Fund to the Board of
Commissioners.
5) Each CVT request for reimbursement of eligible expenses shall be
accompanied by a resolution authorizing the reimbursement request
adopted by the CVT=s legislative board or council.
6) CVT=s shall direct all requests for reimbursement of amounts
expended or to be expended by the CVT in connection with project
expenses eligible for reimbursement to the Fiscal Services Division.
7) The Fiscal Services Division shall notify the County Commissioner(s)
representing a CVT of receipt of the reimbursement request. Fiscal
Services shall process the reimbursement request and recommend to
the General Government and Finance Committees of the Board of
Commissioners the approval of a disbursement request that is
supported by an existing Board of Commissioner appropriation and
meets the requirements of law and this resolution.
8) In addition to providing a copy of the governing body=s adopted
resolution authorizing the reimbursement request, CVT=s shall
support their reimbursement request by providing Fiscal Services
with documentation sufficient to allow the Division to ascertain
that the reimbursement requested complies with Board of Commissioner
approved policies for the Environmental Infrastructure Fund and is
otherwise authorized by law.
9) Recognizing that Michigan law imposes differing voting requirements
for authorizing County financial participation in projects eligible
for reimbursement under this resolution, no CVT shall receive any
disbursement from the Environmental Infrastructure Fund until their
authorized request has been approved for disbursement by the Board
of Commissioners, via a resolution sponsored by the Commissioner(s)
representing the CVT and adopted by the affirmative voting margin
required by law.
10) The Environmental Infrastructure Fund shall not be used for CVT
bonding.
11) All undisbursed Environmental Infrastructure Fund amounts
apportioned to a particular CVT shall be carried forward into the
following fiscal year and shall remain available to the particular
CVT upon proper application. It is the intent of the Board of
Commissioners to appropriate Environmental Infrastructure Funds in
Fiscal Years 1999-2000, 2000-2001, 2001-2002, 2002-2003 and
2003-2004.
12) Any undisbursed amount(s) remaining after the Fiscal Year 2004-2005
time period shall be returned to the Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund,
except that reimbursements authorized under Section 3 above (pre-
project authorization), by application filed not later than
September 30, 2004, shall be maintained in the Environmental
Infrastructure Fund until finally disbursed in accordance with the
procedures set forth herein.
13) Prior to the time the full Board of Commissioners authorizes a
particular disbursement as provided herein, nothing in this
resolution creates or is intended to create any binding obligation
or duty on behalf of the County to appropriate funds for the
Environmental Infrastructure Fund in any fiscal year or creates or
is intended to create any binding obligation or duty on behalf of
the County to fund or participate in funding any particular
CVT project.
14) Annual Environmental Infrastructure Fund appropriation decisions
shall be made by the Board of Commissioners based upon the best
