MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #12030
BY: SHELLEY TAUB, COMMISSIONER, DISTRICT 16
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICES/COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS DIVISION —
CREATION OF THE WARM WEAR BY VVWAM PROGRAM
TO THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
CHAIRPERSON, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS the Weekend and Weekday Alternative for Misdemeanants (WWAM)
program is a work program that may be used as an alternative to incarceration or in conjunction
with some jail time; and
WHEREAS the WWAM program provides nonprofit and governmental agencies with
"crews" of participants to perform a variety of work at no cost to the agency; and
WHEREAS the WVVAM program is centered around giving back to the community; and
WHEREAS the WVVAM program already operates a successful Community Service
Garden at the Springfield Oaks County Park which donates vegetables to food pantries within
Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the WWAM program is starting a new project inspired by a similar program
by Sister Fran Calcaterra of Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes involving the knitting and donating
of hats; and
WHEREAS these hats are "knitted" on a loom that requires no prior experience or
specialized skills to operate; and
WHEREAS some individuals referred to the VVWAM program are deemed not eligible
because of medical issues and are unable to participate in the work crews; and
WHEREAS the making of these hats requires almost no physical exertion; and
WHEREAS the making of these hats would provide these participants, as well as others,
an opportunity to engage in the WWAM program; and
WHEREAS the hats would be donated to local shelters and not for profit programs that
serve underprivileged men, women and children within Oakland County including but not limited
to Children's Village, and Crossroad for Youth ; and
WHEREAS the program would require $500 for startup supplies; and
WHEREAS the VVWAM program would like to be able to accept donations of yarn for the
program.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that $500 from the WWAM garden line item be
transferred to a MAJAM Warm Wear by WWAM line item for program startup costs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Warm Wear by VVWAM program may receive
donations of yarn for the purpose of sustaining the program.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution. _
