special census as a result of annexation, the Council does hereby
refer a copy of this opinion to State Representative Marvin R. Stempien
with the request that he obtain from the Office of the Michigan State
Attorney General an opinion pertaining to the following issues:
1. May a home rule city affect an annexation (a change of
boundaries and/or consolidation) so as to detach a portion
of an adjoining township and thereby annex the same to the
city where the property in question is vacant and uninhabited
so long as the township board approves and concurs in this
regard?
2. In the event that such an annexation is permissible, would
the city lawfully be in a position to avail itself of a special
census within the boundaries of its corporate limits, including
the areas of the city prior to such annexation?
3. In the event that such a special census would be permissible,
would the Secretary of State be lawfully obligated to appoint
census enumerators for the purpose of taking such a census?
L . In the event that such a special census would be permissible
and was in fact taken, what significance, if any, and to what
extent would this census have on the distribution of state funds
which are based upon population, such as, sales tax revenues,
highway monies, etc.?
5. In the event that a special census taken only within the
corporate limits of the city would have no effect on the
distribution of state funds, to what extent would a special
census need be taken in order to affect such a distribution
of state monies?
6. With regard to both city-wide as well as county-wide special
census taking, would the party that requests such a census be
compelled to pay for the cost of same?
