Mr. Privacky also stated that ownership of the property is a proper Commission function. Also, there is nothing in the file from Respondent, except a defective answer. The Muskegon County Road Commission owns subject. The Commission is responsible for road maintenance. Subject's aggregate reserves can be used for road maintenance.
Road maintenance benefits the public.
The Commission purchased subject in 1959. First, the statute specifically lists commissions. Second, Petitioner produced evidence that the the Muskegon County Road Commission owns the subject property. Third, the property is used for a public purpose because the property is an aggregate reserve which can be used for road maintenance. Fourth, the Commission bought the property in 1959, so it meets the requirement that the property be purchased before July 19, 1966.
