Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners, in MR 93227, authorized
the establishment of the Trusty Alternative Committee; and
WHEREAS the charge of this committee was to recommend projects
that would utilize Trusty skills and labor to benefit Oakland
County and would increase the chances of rehabilitation and
decrease recidivism; and
WHEREAS the committee has completed its charge and developed
a final recommendation which includes a one-acre garden pilot

prior to the expiration of the planting season, this pilot project
began in May, with approval from the Administration; and

performed by the trusties and is expected to result in a reduction
in food purchasing costs for the County; and
WHEREAS existing staff is adequate to monitor the trusties and
no additional costs for supervision are necessary; and
WHEREAS this garden will provide fresh, high-quality produce
for use at Oakland County facilities, including Medical Care,
Children's Village and all Correctional Facilities, with any
surplus to be donated to non-profit organizations to feed the
needy; and
WHEREAS this program will benefit the taxpayers of Oakland
County and will provide trusties with the opportunity to pay
society back through the provision of services, efforts, skills and
labor; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners approves the continuation of the Trusty Camp one-acre
garden pilot project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners requests that the Sheriff's Department report back to
the Public Services Committee on the success of this project after
completion of the final 1994 harvest.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Sheriff's Department,
following the final 1994 harvest, determine, if feasible, the
expansion necessary to meet 100 percent of the demand by all
county facilities for fresh vegetables in 1995.
