Miscellaneous Resolution No. 7933 April 12, 1977
BY: HEALTH AND HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE - Joseph R. Montante, Chail:man
IN RE: OAKLAND COUNTY POSITION AS TO STATE/LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH RELATIONS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the development of policies and procedures intended to lead
to a coordinated statewide structure of public health services shall include
mutual understanding and cooperation of both state and local entities involved
in the delivery of such service; and
WHEREAS, your committee concurs with the Health Division's position
supporting "Interim Policy Guidelines for the Provision of Public Health
Services by the State & Local Health Departments in Michigan"; and
WHEREAS, we direct particular emphasis to section D-2 of this document
which states:
0-2. The following principles should be used when determining the
placement of responsibility for delivery of standard public
health programs or activities.
a. In general, the local health department jurisdiction shall
make provision for the delivery of all public health ser-
vices not otherwise available to people in their own
community. Three (3) considerations which may temper this
generalization are:
(1) The local health department should have or be able to
obtain qualified personnel to carry out the particular
programmatic mechanisms to do so.
(2) It is recognized that some public health activities,
though they be delivered within the jurisdiction of a
local health department, are so specialized and of such
technical complexity that neither cost-benefit nor cost-
effectiveness can warrant administration through local
health departments. Such activities shall be conducted
as a direct service of the Michigan Department of Public
Health. Such activities need not be carried out by the
State in the same manner in all jurisdictions, regard-
less of size. For example, local jurisdictions having
sparse population may not be able to conduct certain
program activities while other larger local jurisdictions
may be able to do so.
(3) Legal constraints may preclude the assignment of the
responsibility to local health departments.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby supports the concept that a local health department shall
be considered the primary agency responsible for the organization, coordination,
and delivery of those public health services and programs in the area served by
the local health department.
The Health and Human Resources Committee, by Joseph R. Montante,
Chairman, moves the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
