Miscellaneous Resolution No. 7932 April 12, 1977
BY: HEALTH AND HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE - Joseph R. Montante, Chairman
IN RE: OPPOSITION TO 100% STATE FUNDING OF MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Michigan's first community mental health legislation
sought to create community-based services under the authority of
community boards, and to give those boards substantial autonomy in
allocating the State and County matching funds which made up their budgets;
and
WHEREAS, these concepts were reiterated in the language of
Michigan's new Mental Health Code, which supports the role of the local
boards in planning and operating their services to meet local needs: and
WHEREAS, the Michigan Department of Mental Health is now studying
a plan to provide 100% State funding for mandated community mental health
programs, a plan which would effectively deprive the boards of all control
over their basic services; and
WHEREAS, the Michigan Efficiency Task Force, in its recent report
to the Governor, has recommended that the community mental health boards be
brought under the administrative control of the Department of Mental Health,
in direct opposition to the intent of the Legislature when it created and
revised the enabling legislation for local boards. -
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners call on the Governor and the Legislature of the State of
Michigan to reject the foregoing recommendation of the Michigan Efficiency
Task Force, and to oppose any change in the Mental Health Code eliminating -
local matching funding requirements for community mental health programs.
The Health and Human Resources Committee, by Joseph R. Montante,
Chairman, moves the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
