BY: HEALTH AND HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE - John H. Peterson, Chairperson
IN RE: OAKLAND COUNTY - COUNTY JUVENILE OFFICERS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS this Committee has been advised that the Governor's budget
recommendation for the 1980-81 budget for the State of Michigan eliminates
funding for County Juvenile Officers and Assistant County Juvenile Officers in
the thirteen (13) largest counties in the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS County Juvenile Officers have been provided through State
funding for over one hundred years; and
WHEREAS Public Act 377 of 1978 provides for appointment by the Governor,
upon recommendation of the Probate Judge or Judges in each county, suitable
persons to act as County Juvenile Officers and Assistant County Juvenile
Officers; and
WHEREAS the effect in Oakland County would be the loss of its County
Juvenile Officer and six (6) Assistant County Juvenile Officers; and
WHEREAS the County Juvenile Officers assigned to Oakland County are
providing essential services necessary to maintain the quality of services
rendered to the citizens of Oakland County; and
WHEREAS those County Juvenile Officers are assigned to all facets of
child welfare work within the Juvenile Court; and
WHEREAS this action appears to be one of many where the State is
attempting to shift the responsibility for providing services and funding from
itself to the local community; and
WHEREAS the focus of the Governor's budget is discriminatory in that
it is directed only to the thirteen (13) largest counties of the State.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners urge the Governor and the Legislature of the State of Michigan
to reinstate funding for County Juvenile Officers in the 1980-81 budget. 1
The Health and Human Resources Committee by John_H:CtZon, Chairperson,
