RE: Board of Commissioners - Equitable Funding
TO: Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson. Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County Community Health Authority (OCCMHA) has been serving the mental health needs of citizens of Oakland County
since 1963; and
WHEREAS OCCMHA is committed to meeting the needs of our community through our mission of supporting the advancement of social
equity and improved °Laity of life for those we serve: and
WHEREAS OCCMHA currently serves nearly 19 000 persons, an increase of 48% in persons served overall and an increase of 80% for
children from 2004-2009: and
WHEREAS the largest increases for persons served occurred in fiscal year 2009 including a 17% increase of underinsured or uninsured
persons who are being supported by General Fund dollars; and
WHEREAS In 2009 and 2010, the General Fund that supports Community Mental Health Services Program (CMHSP) statewide were reduced
by 12%, :he reduction distribution resulted in 85% of all CMHSPs receiving !ess than a 10% cut and
WHEREAS OCCMHA was me only OMHSP to receive over a 20% cut resuiting a $2.2 million (22.3%) for 2009 and $9,4 million (22.3%) for
2010; and
WHEREAS Fisca! Year 2011 Senate proposed budget cuts and continued use ()lite Michigan Departmert of Community Health's (MDCH)
distribution method will compromise tne ability to serve our community; and
WHEREAS as a esult OCCMHA would receive a $9 million -$13 million cut in ciscal Year 2011, a 50% reduction of General Fend dollars in
the last two years at the time of our greatest community need; and
WHEREAS in 2010, Statewide Medicaid Mental Health Specialty services and supports received a 4% rate increase. MDCH did not apply this
system wide increase uniformly. OCCMHA received a 0% Medicaid rate increase which resulted in a loss of $8 million in Medicaid revenue;
and
WHEREAS MD CH has revised the funding formeea for Medicaid rates and if implemented at any time would result in an additional $40 million
(18%) cut to Medicaid funding for Oakland County citizens, A redection of this magnitude will severely damage the system of community
services and supports developed ice persons to live in the community rather than institutions, hosptals or ail; and
WHEREAS the General Funds for substance abuse is also significantly reduced as well as Adelt Benefit Waiver (ABVV) funding redirected
from the Coordinating Agency to OCCMHA; and
WHEREAS OCCMHA nes not support tee substance abuse language in the Senate Buoeet Section 407 creating a requirement that
Cooreieating Agencies be incorporated into the Prepa'd Inpatient Health Plan (OCCMHA); and
WHEREAS Oakland County citizens are receiving disproportionate cuts in both Medicaid and General fund just because of where they live.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Comnessioners hereby requests that Oakland County State
Senators and Representatives not alIow a larger percentage of General Fund cuts to be targeted to Oakland County citizens; insist that the
Michigan Department of Community Health not implement the new Medicaid funding formula that reeuces Oakland County rates; minimize
any reduction of services to persons with disabilities (through MDCH and DHS); and not support the reductions and redirection of substance
funding or forced consoidation of Coordinating Agencies.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk is requested to forward copies of this adopted resolut on to Governor „iennifer M.
Granholm, the Michigan Department ef Comnemity Health. the Oakland County Community Mental Health Authority, Oakland County's
delegation to the Michigan Legislature and Oakland County's legislative lobbyists.
