BY: MR. LAWRENCE R. PERNICK
IN RE: EMERGENCY WELFARE FUNDING REQUEST
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the need to provide a decent standard of living for those qualifying
under categorical assistance and general assistance programs is rising steadily due to
the national economic situation; and
WHEREAS, national policy for welfare assistance, as established by court
decisions is also adding to the number of those qualifying under assistance programs; and
WHEREAS, the potential of financial relief for distressed local governments
under proposed general revenue sharing programs in 1971 appears fruitless; and
WHEREAS, proposed national "Welfare Reform Legislation" would stabilize
County welfare costs at the 19 70 level; and
WHEREAS, the financial burdens on the people of Oakland County to continue
to provide adequate funding for essential County services is diminished by the increase
in welfare assistance costs;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners requests its legislators in the Congress of the United States to sponsor
legislation providing specific financial relief to Oakland County in the amount of
sow, ,000 to cover County expenditures for welfare costs in excess of the 1970 level
of expenditure.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
