MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION # 90004
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, DR. G. WILLIAM CADDELL,T, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET - POLICY FOR MAINTAINING
PROPORTIONATE FUNDING FOR FEDERAL, STATE AND PRIVATE GRANTS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, on one hand, Oakland County is indeed fortunate to be the beneficiary
of a multitude of Federal, State and Private Grants to augment its broad array of
public services; and
WHEREAS, on the other hand, the categorical funding provided by these agencies
is often used to entice local government to undertake programs they could not
otherwise afford, and once established withdraw or reduce funding for program
continuation with the expectation that the local jurisdiction will provide locally
generated funds to maintain existing service levels; and
WHEREAS, the County's increasing budget stringency will no longer permit the
luxury of funding categorical program priorities established by external agencies.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
establishes a fiscal policy, to be incorporated in the Fiscal Policies Manual, to
maintain proportionate funding for Federal, State and Private Grants.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if the level of funding is reduced by the grantor
agency, one of the following actions will be taken:
l) A proportionate reduction in local maintenance of effort will be authorized
thereby reducing the total budget and service levels of the categorical
program, unless
2) The County Department administratively responsible for the categorical
program shall recommend a repriortization of funds within existing authorized
resources to continue the grant program at desired budget and service levels.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee I move adoption of the
foregoing resolution.
