MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #93206 September 23, 1993
BY: PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE, LAWRENCE A. OBRECHT, CHAIRMAN
IN RE: COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS INTERIM PLAN AGREEMENT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the State Community Corrections Board has
conditionally approved Oakland County's Comprehensive Correction
Plan (CCP) with the following proviso:
1. Residential Programs: The Comprehensive Corrections Plan
is hereby modified to include the continuation of the two
residential programs within Oakland County (the Alternative Center,
Inc. and CPI, Inc.) for the period of October 1, 1993 through March
31, 1994. During this time, Oakland County will evaluate the need
for continuation of these programs with the determination of
funding levels, if any, no later than February 1, 1994.
2. Utilization of Open Jail Beds for Otherwise Prison Bound
Felons: The County is committed to reducing its over-crowded jail
problem. Our first concern is to eliminate the need for renting
jail beds from other counties which currently stands at 45 to 60
per day; moreover, our jail facility remains crowded, constantly
hovering near or above its rated capacity. Once these problems are
alleviated - and certainly our Comprehensive Corrections Plan is
intended to alleviate this problem - we will work within the
criminal justice system to maintain an appropriate prison
commitment rate and, if possible, reduce reliance on unnecessary
admissions to prison by utilizing available jail space to its
maximum capability; and
WHEREAS, ongoing discussions are underway to resolve the
concerns of the Oakland County Community Corrections Advisory
Board, Sheriff, Prosecuting Attorney, Board of Commissioners and
Executive; and
WHEREAS, there -is a consensus of these County agencies that
the State should provide Community Corrections funding for October
1, 1993 - March 31, 1994, and should fund a Community Corrections
Manager who will work within the County administration to
collaborate with the Board of Commissioners, Sheriff, Prosecuting
Attorney and Community Corrections Advisory Board to facilitate the
comprehensive planning process in order to produce a modified and
fully funded Comprehensive Corrections Plan by February 1, 1994.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby approve Phase I of the interim Community
Corrections Plan for Oakland County as follows:
*Hire a Community Corrections Manager (Manager) and related
clerical support staff.
*Hold meetings with parties in interest and the Manager to
obtain detailed concerns in the CCP's development.
*Develop specific plans associated with the action Steps to be
explored. Assess these action steps as to whether they would
be cost justified and the impact on State prison and County
jail bed space utilized.
•Evaluate the effectiveness of the two residential programs
operated within Oakland County.
*Assemble the necessary financial and statistical information
in support of the CC?.
*Develop the draft CCP, including a proposed operating budget
for the remaining portion of the fiscal year.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Board of Commissioners does
hereby approve the draft letters attached to this resolution.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Public Services Committee,
I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

Dear Mr. Schrantz:
After reviewing the draft letter
paragraph are recommended:
riatrari August 30, 1993, the following changes to the second
Utilization of Open Jail Beds for Otherwise Prison Bound Felons: The county is committed
to reducing its' over-crowed jail problem. Our first concern is to eliminate the need for renting
jail beds from other counties which currently stands at 45 to 60 per day; moreover, our jail
facility remains crowded, constantly hovering near or above its rated capacity. Once these
problems are alleviated - and certainly our Comprehensive Corrections Plan is intended to
alleviate this problem - we will work within the criminal justice system to maintain an
appropriate prison commitment rate and, if possible, reduce reliance on unnecessary
admissions to prison by utilizing available jail space to its maximum capability.
The remaining portions of the letter are considered to be acceptable. Assuming concurrence from
you, we would be prepared to finalize the attachments to the letter and submit it to the Public
Services Committee on September 14, 1993. Assuming that the Public Services Committee would
approve that draft, we would then approach the Community Corrections Advisory Board for
approval as well. If we miss the Public Services Committee, the next Committee meeting is not
until October 1993. As such, we would miss the Office of Community Corrections Board meeting
on October 5, 1993.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (313) 858-0490 or Michael
Zehnder at (313) 858-1074. We await your response.

Dear Mr. Schrantz:
This letter constitutes official submission by Oakland County for consideration by the
State Community Corrections Board for FY93/94 funding.
First of all, you will find enclosed an original and three copies of the Comprehensive
Corrections Plan conditionally approved by the State Community Corrections Board on
July 15, 1992. Oakland County will respond to the two conditions which the State Board
required in order for this-Comprehensive Corrections Plan to be approved as follows:
1. Residential Programs: The Comprehensive Corrections Plan is hereby modified
to include the continuation of the two residential programs within Oakland County
(the Alternative Center, Inc. and CPI, Inc.) for the period of October 1, 1993
through March 31, 1994. During this time, Oakland County will evaluate the need
for continuation of these programs with the determination of funding levels, if any,
no later than February 1, 1994.
2. Utilization of Open Jail Beds for Otherwise Prison Bound Felons: The county is
committed to reducing its' 'over-crowded jail problem. Our first concern is to
eliminate the need for renting jail beds from other counties which currently stands
at 45 to 60 per day; moreover, our jail facility remains crowded, constantly
hovering near or above its rated capacity. Once these problems are alleviated -
and certainly our Comprehensive Corrections Plan is intended to alleviate this
problem - we will work within the criminal justice system to appropriately maintain
a low prison commitment rate and, if possible, reduce reliance on admissions to
prison by utilizing available jail space to its maximum capability.
Oakland County also wishes to continue the community service program currently being
operated through Oakland University for a period not to exceed six months so that we
may evaluate the need for and level of funding for this program for the remainder of the
year and beyond. We will make a determination for possible continuation funding for this
program no later than February 1, 1994.
The continuation of the three programs described above constitute the program elements
within a modified Comprehensive Corrections Plan which we wish to fund at this time.
As you know, there has been tremendous discussion and debate within Oakland County
regarding the future of community corrections. We intend to continue to review and
modify our approach to community corrections for the first several months of FY93/94 and
intend to submit a complete and revised Comprehensive Corrections Plan no later than
February 1, 1994.
In order to make this possible, the final element of the Comprehensive Corrections Plan
we wish to have funded at this time includes funding for a Community Corrections
Manager (see attached position description) who will work within the county administration
to collaborate with county commissioners and criminal justice professionals to facilitate
the comprehensive planning process in order to produce a modified and fully funded
Comprehensive Corrections Plan no later than February 1, 1994. The attached timeline
describes the framework for development of the modified Comprehensive Corrections
Plan.
We have prepared an application for FY93194 (attached) which updates the criminal
justice data regarding dispositions for the county since the Comprehensive Corrections
Plan was conditionally approved by the State Board and-sets forth the purposes of funds
being requested which I have described in general above.
This request was approved by the Community Corrections Advisory Board on
, 1993 with approval by the County Commission on , 1993.
If you have any questions regarding our application, please do not hesitate to give us a
call. Representatives from the Executive and Legislative Branches of government in
Oakland County will be available at your next scheduled Board Meeting to discuss our
request with the State Community Corrections Board.
Sincerely,
L. Brooks Patterson
Oakland County Executive
