IN RE: EMPLOYMENT FOR A.D.C. MOTHERS AND WELFARE RECIPIENTS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
A very important part of County Government involving the expenditures
of tax dollars is in the area of Social Services. Every member of this Board of
Supervisors is aware of the many problems it was faced with in 1969 regarding the
requests of A. D. C. and general welfare recipients.
Many of these recipients have expressed a desire to become gainfully
employed even though they lacked in education, skills and other qualifications to
make them competitive in the labor market.
Many have appealed to the County to implement more meaningful
training programs so that a general background could be attained that would
provide them an opportunity to secure full or partial employment so that they
could become self-sufficient, in time gaining confidence and determination to
become contributing citizens in the community.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Supervisors strongly urges the Michigan Employment Securities Commission to make
available iob opportunities for A. D.C. and welfare recipients, and that the
Legislative Committee of this Board recommend such legislation as is necessary to
provide that categorical aid recipients, where possible, shall be employed, thus
assisting in shorter status as welfare recipients.
MR. CHAIRMAN, I move that the foregoing resolution be referred to
the Legislative Committee for consideration and report back to this Board.
