RESOLUTION IN OPPOSITION TO SENATE BILL 217
RESOLUTION #04-83
WHEREAS, the Michigan Senate, on February 26, 2004, received from the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources
Committee Senate Bill 217 (SB 217) with a recommendation for adoption; and
WHEREAS, SB 217 is the revision of the Michigan Drain Code of 1956, as amended (MCL 280.1 et seq); and
WHEREAS, significant revisions have been drafted into SB 217 that will increase the cost of projects undertaken pursuant
to the Drain Code and will increase the delay in the response to requests for drainage petitioned by landowners and
municipalities; and
WHEREAS, provisions of SB 217 will unduly burden the landowners and municipalities seeking relief under the Drain
Code, adversely affecting agriculture, industry and the public health, safety and welfare of the County without providing
substantive benefits to the environment or enhanced public accountability.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners urges the State Legislature to reject
the amendments to the Michigan Drain Code as set forth in Senate Bill 217 as reported from the Senate Committee on
Agriculture and Natural Resources on February 26, 2004.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners supports amendments to the Drain Code
to facilitate the ability to address the construction, maintenance and improvement of drains in the State of Michigan and
which provide for the benefit of agriculture, industry and the environment in the State of Michigan and for the equitable
sharing of cost for those projects.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of the Resolution be submitted to Governor Granholm, Senator Gerald Van
Woerkom (Sponsor of SB 217), the Senator and Representatives whose Districts represent the County and the other 82

The following resolution was introduced by the County Services and Finance Committees:
RESOLUTION OPPOSING HOUSE BILL 4234
RESOLUTION #04-84
WHEREAS, the Michigan Legislature has been presented with a proposed budget for 2004-2005 which addresses a deficit
of $1.3 billion; and
WHEREAS, this deficit is a long term problem generated by a structural imbalance between the states tax structure and the
level of governmental services funded historically; and
WHEREAS, as a result of this imbalance, state spending has been reduced to the level of spending equivalent to
governmental spending in the1970's; and
WHEREAS, as a result of addressing this deficit, state shared revenues to Ingham County have been significantly reduced,
without a corresponding reduction in requirements to provide services; and
WHEREAS, HB 4234 (H-1) would grant a $3,000 personal property tax exemption for 2005, $6,000 for 2006, and $10,000
thereafter, thus reducing property tax revenues to Ingham County by nearly $500,000 annually when fully phased in; and
WHEREAS, no evidence has been presented to substantiate that such an exemption would result in any significant increase
in employment or other indicators of economic development; and
WHEREAS, the Ingham County Board of Commissioners believes that such a reduction, especially in this time of financial
distress to all levels of government, is unwise and inappropriate.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners opposes HB 4234 and urges its
legislators to defeat its passage.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County Clerk is directed to send a copy of this resolution to the County's
legislative delegation, the Governor, and the Michigan Association of Counties.

Ingham County Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Mitigation Plan
Proposed Budget: $0
Project Impact Grant: $0
Match: $0.00
Partner Contribution: $0.00
Undertaken by another grant. Ingham County along with Eaton and Clinton Counties, Delta Township, and the City of
Lansing have agreed to accept a hazard mitigation grant that will pay for the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission to
conduct a hazard analysis and mitigation plan for the tri-county area with individual plans for each emergency management
jurisdiction. The grant has been approved by the state and the local programs and will address natural as well as all hazards
that would not only impact Ingham County but because of the size or scope would also impact other jurisdictions.
This document provides an overview of natural hazard events that have occurred or have occurred in conjunction with
various local, state, and federal agencies has developed the Ingham County Natural Hazard Analysis potential to occur in
Ingham County. This identification of hazards should assist planners, emergency management officials, political officials,
and citizens in their decisions of how to prepare for and prevent future hazard events. This also allows political officials an
others to set priorities for resource allocation for response, recovery and mitigation activities prior to the occurrence of a
natural hazard incident.
After the completion of the Ingham County Natural Hazards Analysis, the County will develop a Hazard Mitigation Plan.
This document will serve as a foundation for future mitigation projects within Ingham County.
Ingham County has acquired the HAZUS99 tool from FEMA and the Community Vulnerability Assessment Tool from
NOAA and has also approached the Tri-County Regional Planning Commission and the MSP/EMD Planning section to
assist with the process of completing a hazard analysis and developing a hazard mitigation plan with Project Impact Funds.
Category B: Adoption of Policies or Practices for Mitigation in Existing Building or New Construction
Proposed Budget: $23,594.31
Project Impact Grant: $23,594.31
Match: $0.00
Partner Contribution: $0.00
Dry Fire Hydrants
A dry fire hydrant is non-pressurized permanent pipe assembly with fire truck pumper connections, installed into a
dependable water source, such as a lake, large pond, river or stream. The dry fire hydrant delivery system consists of a
hydrant strainer, which is permanently lowered into the water source, and a dry fire hydrant head to which the fire
department can connect a pumper truck to draw water. These two pieces are connected by an L-shaped section of PVC pipe.
Ingham County Project Impact will work with local units of governments and the Tanker Task Force to determine the
placement of the proposed 18 dry fire hydrants for installation in Ingham County communities.
2. Pumps
Proposed Budget: $20,000.00
Project Impact Grant: $20,000.00
Match: $0.00
Partner Contribution: $0.00
The Ingham County Drain Commissioners Office will purchase and place into service portable "trash pumps" in areas of
flooding to help the current drain system with the excess water caused by heavy rains. These large amounts of water in a
short period of time overload the current system, which is planned for the average rainfall. By assisting with the movement
of the excess water urban flooding would be decreased and damage to homes lessened.
The Ingham County Drain Commissioner's Office would purchase a total of 5 portable pumps commonly known as Trash
Pumps due to their ability to process small particles as well as water. These pumps would range in size from 4 inch, gas
powered, and on a trailer to several 3 inch, gas powered trash pumps." These would be used in residential areas that have a
history of urban flooding to assist with the extra large amounts of storm water and as a backup to the electric pumps that
are permanently installed but due to age, smaller diameter outlets and loss of electricity during storms would be unable to
process the temporary large amounts of storm water thereby mitigating damage to homes.
