A RESOLUTION OPPOSING REDUCTION IN REVENUE SHARING
CHAIRMAN MARK A . STEENBERGH, ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS, OFFERS THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION :
WHEREAS, Macomb County will lose $6 .9 million in revenues, or 6 .0% of the 1993 general fund budget, as a result of Senate Bill 1, the school reform property tax
legislation, forcing counties to make serious reductions in services ranging from 911 to
elderly transportation ; and,
WHEREAS, SB 1's freeze on property tax assessments will cost Macomb County $2 .2 million in lost revenues . School operating millages were removed from the property tax
base in Senate Bill 1 . With this elimination of 65 percent of property taxes, Macomb
county will lose $4 .7 million in anticipated delinquent property tax collection fees .
Overall, Michigan county governments face a $200 million depletion in county revenues for
the 1995 budget ; and
WHEREAS, it is vital for this legislature to replace the lost revenues to county
governments . The economic impact upon Macomb County by the services and jobs that must be
cut will devastate our community ; and,
WHEREAS, Macomb County provides state and federal mandated services which
include courts, jails, public health programs, the Child Care Fund for delinquent and
abused children and indigent counsel fees . In addition, Macomb County provides for the
sheriff road patrols, 911 services, senior citizen programs, libraries, services for war
veterans, parks and recreation programs and the operation of a long term care facility ;
and,
WHEREAS, Macomb County will suffer cuts in such discretionary services as
outlined above if county revenues are ignored . The Legislature needs to grant us more
flexibility for implementing mandated programs . This will allow us to provide all of the
needed services to our community with greater efficiency ; and,
WHEREAS, Macomb County has operated a tight budget througout the 1980's . We've
held pay raises to 2% in 1993 and have restricted new hires . At the same time, the state
and federal governments have increased the number of mandated programs at the county level
without providing sufficient revenues for locals to offer such services to the community . NOW THEREFORE, Be it resolved by the Board of Commissioners, speaking for and on behalf of all county citizens as follows :
I
That By These Presents, the Macomb County Board of Commissioners hereby expresses its opposition to any reduction in revenue sharing to the County of Macomb .
