The Oakland County Board of Commissioners welcomed Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson who presented the 2015-2017 Oakland County Budget Recommendations on Wednesday, July 16, during an evening meeting at the Board of Commissioners Auditorium in Pontiac. 

Oakland County’s budget is balanced through Fiscal Year 2017 and beyond as the county’s taxable value continues to improve. 

The general fund/general purpose estimated revenue and appropriations are $418,331,691 for fiscal 2015; $422,406,076 for fiscal 2016; and $425,433,918 for fiscal 2017. The total budget for all funds amounts to $799,779,956 for fiscal 2015; $806,422,075 for fiscal 2016; and $808,553,753 for fiscal 2017. The budget is also balanced for fiscal 2018 based on the county’s five-year outlook. 

“It is long-range planning coupled with action that separates Oakland County from other counties in Michigan and the nation,” Patterson said. “We believe in thoughtful management, not crisis management.”
 

Also during the July 16 meeting,  the board recognized the 40th Anniversary of the Waterford Oaks BMX Track, one of the longest running tracks in the nation. 

Many national BMX events have been hosted on this track including qualifying first round races for the 2008 USA Olympic BMX Team, the 2007 USA Cycling BMX National Championships, and the 1983 ESPN BMX Pro Spectacular.
