MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #92259
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, DR. G. WILLIAM CADDELL, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: OAKLAND COUNTY (OPPOSE) CHILD CARE FUND CAP CHANGES
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS a Michigan Probate Judges Association subcommittee has
recommended changes in the method by which Child Care Funds are distributed
to the 83 counties in Michigan by adjusting how the Child Care Fund formula
and cap are calculated; and
WHEREAS these funding changes would penalize counties such as Oakland
which have taken the lead in developing in-home care and other prevention
programs and would result in a windfall for those who have not, such as Wayne
County; and
WHEREAS Oakland County would suffer an additional loss of approximately
$727,000 annually under the funding change recommended by the subcommittee;
and
WHEREAS Oakland County is an initiate party to a lawsuit pending
decision which challenges the constitutionality of the Child Care cap,
support for any funding changes may jeopardize the outcome of that suit; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Probate Judges, the County Executive and the
Board of Commissioner's Program Evaluation staff oppose any change to the
distribution method of child care funds (except for the elimination of the
cap) for the reasons listed above.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners opposes any change in the Child Care Fund formula until all
questions regarding the constitutionality of the Child Care Fund cap are
resolved.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to
the Governor, Oakland County legislators, the Michigan Association of
Counties, the Michigan Probate Judges Association, the Michigan Association
of Probate\Juvenile Court Administrators, the State Court Administrative
Office, the Michigan Department of Social Services and all Michigan counties.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption
of the foregoing resolution.
