BY: HEALTH AND HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE - John H. Peterson, Chairperson
IN RE: STATE -COUNTY MATCHING FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS since the inception of county community mental health programs
in Michigan, State law has provided that these programs be funded on a matching
basis from State and county appropriations, the current ratio being 90/10; and
WHEREAS some counties operating community mental health programs have
in recent years encountered increasing difficulty in producing the requisite
locat matching funds for these programs, a problem which has led the Michigan
Department of Mental Health to seriously consider taking over the direct operation
of community mental health services in counties unable to provide adequate
local support for these services; and
WHEREAS your Committee concurs with the Oakland County Community Mental
Health' Services Board that preservation of a significant County financial interest
i‘n the County's community mental health program is essential, if a meaningful
degree of local control over the program, and a high level of citizen interest
and participation in the direction of the program, are to continue; and
WHEREAS through its continued financial support from year to year of
expansion programming for the Community Mental Health Services Board, the County
of Oakland has clearly demonstrated its commitment to the concept of shared
funding for the services of the Board and its willingness to allocate the necessary
dollars.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
hereby support and urge the continuation of a 90/10 formula for matching State-
County funding of Oakland County's Community Mental Health Program; and that if
State policy or statute is changed to allow for direct State operation of
community mental health services in some areas, the legislature and the Michigan
Department of Mental Health be called on to insure that the principle of matching
funding for these services is retained for those counties which are willing and
able to furnish the required level of funding.
The Health and Human Resources Committee by .19,1444-4--Petrra,an, Chairperson,
moves the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
