Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Oakland County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Industrial Facility Exemption Certificates
The 2026 Assessing Officers Report on Industrial Facility Exemption Certificates will be received — these exemptions reduce property taxes for qualifying industrial businesses in the county.
Community sponsorships
Four local events — a Milford cinema celebration, the Holly Dickens Festival, Northville's bicentennial banners, and White Lake's tree lighting — would get county sponsorship dollars.
Beach water testing and drinking water grants
The Health Division would apply for 2027-2028 state funding for rapid beach water testing and accept a Healthy Taps grant for drinking water programs. That means faster answers when beach water looks unsafe and continued drinking water monitoring.
Artificial Intelligence governance resolutions
Two Cavell resolutions — an annual AI use disclosure for county departments and an AI and Public Engagement subcommittee — were referred to committee, while the board was told an existing AI policy effort is already two years in and will reach committees in November.
Local transit provider performance, April-June 2026
