Commissioner Baker McCormack’s disclosure resolution sent to full commission

Commissioner Baker McCormack introduced a resolution at the Wayne County Ways and Means committee urging mandatory disclosure requirements to inform prospective home buyers that property taxes may increase following transfer of ownership. Committee members discussed the staff‑drafted language and a motion to send the resolution to the full County Commission for consideration was moved by Commissioner Baker McCormack and supported by Commissioner Scott. The committee approved forwarding the draft to the full commission.

The resolution was introduced as unfinished business and was described as a staff‑prepared draft. The committee did not adopt final policy language; it approved referral to the full commission so the proposal can be reviewed, edited as needed, and acted upon in a later meeting. The transcript contains a reference to "Michigan's proposal a uncappy provisions" in the discussion; the phrase in the record is unclear and was not expanded on during the committee meeting.

Next steps: the resolution will proceed through the county's process for full commission consideration; staff will prepare the draft for that body.
