To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the economic growth of
Oakland County; and
WHEREAS among the tools used to promote this economic growth is Tax Increment Financing
(TIF) in the form of Downtown Development Authorities (DDAs), Local Development Finance
Authorities (LDFAs), and Corridor Improvement Authorities (CPAs); and
WHEREAS to review requests from the Cites, Villages, and Townships to establish DDAs,
LDFAs, and CIAs, the Board of Commissioners has, pursuant to Miscellaneous Resolution
#99010, established the Tax Increment Financing District Review Policy Ad Hoc Committee
(Review Committee) to evaluate and recommend to the Finance Committee on the County's
participation in these proposed Authorities; and
WHEREAS the Review Committee has promulgated protocols and performance standards for
County participation in these Authorities, and this Board of Commissioners has adopted these
policies as guidelines to assist the County in its review of a municipality's plan: and
WHEREAS representatives from the City of Clawson and the Clawson DDA met with the Review
Committee on May 21, 2009, to present a proposed District expansion: however, no action was
taken at that time because the Review Committee requested additional information; and
WHEREAS the City of Clawson has since held its public hearing on July 7, 2009; and
WHEREAS due to the timing of the public hearing, the County Board of Commissioners meeting
schedule, and the 60-day statutory timeframe within which a taxing jurisdiction, in this case the
County, must act, this Board has determined to exempt any County Ad Valor= property taxes
from capture; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners,
pursuant to Section 3 (3) of '1975 PA 197 as amended, MDL 125,1653(3), hereby exempts
County Ad Valorum property taxes from capture by the proposed expanded City of Clawson DDA,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if, after further review of the City's DDA expansion project by
the Ad Hoc Review Committee, the Committee finds it appropriate to rescind the tax capture
exemption, this recommendation will be brought back to the Board of Commissioners,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County Clerk shall forward a copy of this resolution to the
Clerk for the City of Clawson..
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
