Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, since the inception of the. Optional Unified Form of Government

950,000 to an estimated 1.1 million, and the County's annual budget has grown
from $49 million to over $295 million; and
WEEREAS, such rapid growth and expansion has vastly enlarged the nature
of government activities and has simultaneously created circumstances for which
there is no policy or precedential rule; and
WHEREAS, Oakland County's present rules of procedure are fragmented among
various Policies of the Board of Commissioners, Departmental Rules, Purchasing
Policies, the Merit System and a myriad of statutes.
NOW TEEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Soard of Commissioners
does hereby direct the Personnel Department to formulate a comprehensive Code
of Ethics for all County Employees, and Appointed and Elected Officials in
conjunction with Corporation Counsel and the Prosecutor's Office.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that such Code of Ethics include extensive provision
for preclusion of conflict of interest and potential conflict of interest,
prohibition of contracting with, doing business with, or as acting agent for
any person or entity doing business with the County, profiting from inside
information, and Shall stringently reinforce the provision of the Oakland County
Merit System.
BE IT FORThER RESOLVED that the intent of the Board of Commissioners in
the passage of this resolution is to establish a comprehensive Ethics Code
which will provide all government officials and personnel with the standards of
conduct by which they are to perform their duties and its applicability will be
equal for all elected and appointed officials and county employees.
Mr. Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
