Miscellaneous Resolution # cloifi7 June 28, 1990
BY: Hubert Price, Jr., County Commissioner-District #8
RE: Social Services-Indigent Health Care Costs
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County's indigent health care costs have
continued to rise over the past several years with expenditures
now reaching more than $4 million; and
WHEREAS while the County's budget appropriation is
consistently raised from year to year, the actual expenditure
historically has seriously exceeded the anticipated allocation; and
WHEREAS it is futile to continue to try to reduce indigent
health care costs with wishful budget projections.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners hereby appoints a five-member ad hoc
committee to be comprised of the Director of the Department of
Social Services, Chairperson of the General Government Committee,
two members of the Finance Committee (including one minority
party Commissioner) and a designee of the County Executive to
analyze indigent health care costs and recommend cost reduction
and control measures which can be accomplished without lessening
medical service delivery and patient care, such recommendation to
be made to the Finance Committee for its consideration in the 1991
budget process.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing
u ert Price, Jr. (
resolution.
