HEALTH AND HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE
Miscellaneous Resolution_ May 22, 1980
BY: JOHN H. PETERSON, COUNTY COMMISSIONER-DISTRICT #6
RE: COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH PLANNING COUNCIL
OF SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN FUNDING
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
WHEREAS, P. L. 93-641 and 96-79 define the role of Health Systems Agencies as
developing regional health plans and reviewing health care proposals toward overall quality
care and containment of health care costs; and
WHEREAS, Sub-Area Advisory Councils, such as the Oakland County SAAC, are
responsible by law to provide local input from consumers and providers to the Regional HSA; and
WHEREAS, the Oakland County SAAC has expressed repeatedly over several years
that it is concerned about what is felt to be an unsatisfactory relationship between the regional
HSA known as CHPC-SEM (Comprehensive Health Planning Council of Southeastern Michigan
and the Oakland County SAAC; and
WHEREAS, the OC-SAAC requests the assistance of the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners to improve coordination between the OC-SAAC and CHPC-SEM, and to resolve
the following specific problems:
(1) Lack of coordination between some of those selected as Oakland County
members on CHPC-SEM and the CC-SAAC which does not select all
Oakland representatives, thereby reducing adequate representations of
the SAAC point of view at CHPC-SEM;
(2) Lack of continuity in staff support provided the SAAC by CHPC-SEM,
thereby frustrating the smooth flow of information between the two levels
of health planning;
(3) Lack of incorporation in the CHPC-SEM bylaws of the specific nature of
and procedure for advisory input from the SAAC to assure CHPC-SEM
decisions are considerate of local county concerns;
Lack of adequate representation in the membership and on committees of
CHPC-SEM of elected officials as required by statute;
(5) Lack of recognition of SAAC volunteer citizen input at the HSA level,
thus causing SAAC volunteer turnover to be excessive because many feel
their input has no recognition or consequence;

(6) Lack of adequate procedural considerations, such as a procedure For
making SAAC committee agendas; scheduling and cancelling committee
meetings; advising SAAC on projects or amendments in such detail as to
permit a SAAC decision on whether a review is in order; inadequate
recognition of the role of the SAAC Chairperson and SAAC Committee
Chairperson;
(Ti Lack of adequate CHPC-SEM response to the SAAC requests for project review;
(8) Lack of adequate SAAC input in the selection of Oakland County members
on the ChIPC-SEM,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
makes it a policy that there will be support of the Oakland County Sub-Area Advisory Council
in assisting that Council toward more viable Oakland County input on regional health planning
matters that affect this County through active participation of the Health and Human Resources
Committee and the Oakland County Executive in the actions of OC-SAAC,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED as evidence of this Boards' considerable concern about the
true impact of the Council's advisory role, that financial support payments by this County to
CHPC-SEM be suspended until the concerns of the OC-SAAC are resolved to the satisfaction
of the Council's Executive Committee, the Health and Human Resources Committee of this
Board, and the Oakland County Executive.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that it is urged the CHPC-SEM bylaws he amended to provide
that the Executive Committee of the HSA include as voting members the Chairperson of each SAAC,
for better balance between special interest group representation as is now required by law and the
general population, and to facilitate a closer relationship between advisory councils and the
regional body,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to Oakland County
Legislators in Lansing and Washington, D, C,; to Region 5 of the Health and Human Services
Department; to Health and Human Services Department in Washington, D, Co; and to
Comprehensive Health Planning Council of Southeastern Michigan,
