IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF INSTITUTIONAL AND HUMAN SERVICES - COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH -
AMEND MENTAL HEALTH CODE IN REGARD TO EMPLOYMENT OF THE DIRECTOR OF MENTAL HEALTH
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Mental Health Code empowers the Board of Commissioners to
establish county procedures and regulations governing the conduct of County
Community Mental Health programs, and
WHEREAS Public Act 139 of 1973 grants the Board of Commissioners the
authority to consolidate departments completely or in part or to transfer a
function from one department to another, and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners, on MR 6931 dated May 1974, created a
Community Mental Health/County Executive administrative reporting structure
through the Department of Institutional and Human Services, and
WHEREAS the effectiveness of this administrative structure can be greatly
enhanced by the transfer of the authority to employ the director of Community
Mental Health from the Community Mental Health Board to the Executive's
Department of Institutional and Human Services in accordance with procedures,
terms and conditions established by the Board of Commissioners.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
supports legislation to amend section 230 of the Mental Health Code, which would
allow the Board of Commissioners to establish the procedures, terms and
conditions for employment of the director of community mental health in counties
which have an elected county executive pursuant to Act 139 of Public Acts of
1973.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the
Governor and Oakland County's delegation of state legislators.
I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
