TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the County is responsible for providing certain welfare assistance
separate and apart from State and Federal welfare assistance; and
WHEREAS many of those receiving County welfare assistance are ablebodied and
employable; and
WHEREAS it is desirable to establish responsibility for such County assistance from
both the County and the recipient; and
WHEREAS a desirable manner of exercising responsibility on the part of the recipients
would be to offer their services in some type of minimal County employment program in
return for such assistance; and
WHEREAS the County is authorized in requiring minimal employment of the ablebodied
welfare recipi ents as a condition to their continuing to receive County welfare assistance; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Human Resources Committee
has unanimously supported State legislation which embodies this type of program for County
welfare assistance;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
present a plan for such an employment program and urge the Oakland County Social Services
Board to adopt such a policy.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I move that the foregoing resolution be referred to the Human
Resources Committee.
