Miscellaneous Resolution 5
RE: PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT IN LABOR NEGOTIATIONS
BY: Commissioners Richard R. Wilcox and James W. Dunleavy
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSION=
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, citizens in recent years have demanded a more active role
in government affairs; AND
WHEREAS, conscientious, responsible, citizen involvement in governmental
deliberation has had a generally beneficial effect wherever atteMpted; AND
WHEREAS, the openness of Oakland County government has improved the
operation of county government; AND
WHEREAS, totally secret private negotiations are not in keeping with
the spirit of our new government.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners supports the concept of public involvement in negotiating
sessions between the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal
Employees and the county government bargaining team.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
agrees that such public involvement should begin with the designation of
two private citizens to be present at all bargaining sessions, as private
citizens, not as members of the respective bargaining teams; that each party
to the negotiations should name one of these individuals; that these citizens
should be free to report their opinions of the proceedings to the public,
the press, and the Board of Commissioners, with the understanding that such
reports would be delayed temporarily at times when their issuance would
work against the public interest by unnecessarily upsetting delicate
negotiations.
I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
