RE: THREE NEW CIRCUlT COURT JUDGES
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr, Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has opposed
three new circuit court judges for Oakland County based on need analysis and cost
of providing courtrooms and support services; and
WHEREAS, the Michigan State Legislature has enacted legislation
mandating for Oakland County three new circuit court judges; and
WHEREAS, the conventional accommodation of three new circuit courts
may cost about five million dollars in capital costs; and
WHEREAS, no such funds have been allocated in non-expansionary
budget of Oakland County; and
WHEREAS, such a large capital expenditure may require reduction or
elimination of essential services to the people of Oakland County; and
WHEREAS, it is the function of Oakland County Board of Commissioners
and the administration to devise innovative solutions to the impending problem
of accommodating the legislatively mandated three new circuit court judges within
the constraint of fiscal responsibility and maintenance of other priority services
to Oakland County citizens; and
WHEREAS, it appears that the greatest uppartunity in capital costs
reduction lies in full utilization of existing courtrooms by instituting a second
shift justice system between the hours of 4 p. m. and 10 p. m.; and
WHEREAS, a second shift justice system can provide to larger numbers
of citizens accessibility to courts at convenient times during non-working hours.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Oakland County Board of Commissioners
authorizes the County Executive to conduct a feasibility study to implement a second
shift justice system in Oakland County, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Feasibility report with comparative
operating capital costs for conventional accommodation of three new circuit court judges
versus implementing the second shift justice system be completed and presented to the
Board of Commissioners within ninety days
e I oregoing resolution,.
