amending Section 10 of Article IX, to require that a portion of the revenue sharing revenues that counties
receive be distributed on a per capita basis and constitutionally protected; and

AMENDMENT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XII-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed the above referenced
resolution and finds:
1. The resolution authorizes acceptance of grant funding from the U.S. Department of

BY: Commissioner Bill Bullard, Jr., District #2
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT FOR OAKLAND COUNTY'S PERSPECTIVE ON
COBO CONVENTION FACILITY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Tourism Action Group (TAG) was established approximately 18 months ago to study the
feasibility and business needs of the Cobo Convention Center; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Executive established a work group - Oakland Cobo II - to identify
Oakland County's concerns and to present alternative proposals for action that are fair to Oakland County
taxpayers and effectively support improvements in the region's tourism and convention economy; and
WHEREAS Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson presented the report, "Cobo II: An Oakland
County Perspective," which contained the primary recommendation that the City of Detroit should seek
financing from the private sector to construct, operate and maintain a new convention facility - Cobo II -
which has an estimated cost of $1 billion; and
WHEREAS the alternative proposals for expansion ranged from $465 million for an additional 100,000 sq.
ft. of exhibit space to $665 million for an additional 225,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space; and
WHEREAS presently, Oakland, Wayne and Macomb County hotels are assessed a hotel accommodation
tax to cover the annual debt service of approximately $16 million on the existing Cobo Hall; and
WHEREAS there is also a 4% tax on all liquor sold for consumption in the state that is placed in the State
Convention Facility Development Fund to cover any portion of the Cobo Hall debt that is not covered by
the hotel tax. During the life of the liquor tax, Oakland County businesses have been required to collect
$55.1 million to help pay Cobo Hall debt. Since Fiscal Year 2000, the Hotel Tax proceeds have been
sufficient to cover the entire annual Cobo debt service. The liquor tax has thus become a windfall for the
80 counties outside of the metropolitan area; and
WHEREAS the region, however, has no input into the bonding decisions of Cobo Hall facilities. As of
June 30, 2003, the outstanding Cobo Hall debt of $123 million was funded through 2011. The City of
Detroit refinanced the Cobo Hall bonds for an additional $36.9 million in debt, extending the debt maturity
schedule to 2015; and
WHEREAS the Oakland Cobo II report further recommends that should a Cobo Hall Authority be
established, the participating counties should include: Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw, St. Clair,
Livingston and Monroe; and
WHEREAS the Oakland Cobo II report further stipulates conditions precedent for support of a new
revenue stream for a new convention center or the expansion of Cobo Hall - that reflect Oakland County's
desire to participate in positive regional development, in a manner that is fair to Oakland County's
residents and taxpayers; and
WHEREAS the conditions include: (1) equitable amendment of the State Convention Facility
Development Act; (2) return of liquor tax revenues to the county in which they were raised; (3) there must
be compulsory financial support from the entire SEMCOG region; (4) governance role; (5) Oakland
County will not support a property tax approach to fund an expanded Cobo Hall; (6) if regional financing is
required to support construction or expansion of Cobo Hall, then all businesses and individuals living,
operating and/or paying taxes in the region must be placed on equal footing with Detroit-based suppliers
and contractors, when bidding for work at the Cobo Hall facility; (7) the State of Michigan must commit to
a substantial financial contribution - similar to the financial support provided to regional convention
facilities located outside of southeast Michigan; (8) labor must be a partner and commit to adopting
competitive labor rules and rates; (9) Oakland County government must be provided all studies, reports,
plans and estimates relative to the operation and conditions of the existing Cobo facility and/or regarding
the development of a new or expanded Cobo Hall, and allowed an opportunity to review all estimated
project costs; (10) recognizing that the private sector is best suited to provide conference centers in a
market driven environment - Oakland County will not support expansion of taxpayer involvement in
funding for any suburban conference center; and (11) the State Convention Facility Development Act
must be amended to require the approval of all county governments whose businesses and citizens are
taxed to support Cobo Hall before any new debt can be issued.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
supports the position presented by Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson and the Oakland Cobo
