MISC. RES. 194112
BY: COMMISSIONERS MARILYNN GOSLING AND NANCY DINGSVEY
RE: FRIEND OF THE COURT SPACE NEEDS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS, in 1974, the Friend of the Court Office of the
Sixth Judicial Circuit Court was "temporarily" moved to Annex II,
and
WHEREAS, neither the space needs nor the security system
needs of the Friend of the Court has been addressed since 1974,
and
WHEREAS, the volatile nature of domestic relations
proceedings often results in strained and emotional outbursts
from Friend of the Court clients, leaving the staff and other
litigants at risk, and
WHEREAS, the atmosphere and ambience of Annex II is not
conducive to peaceful resolution of domestic relations disputes,
and the offices of the Friend of the Court lack private spaces
for confidential attorney-client conferences, resulting in
important client decisions taking place in stairwells, restrooms,
and at the end of corridors, and
WHEREAS, employees in Annex II frequently complain about
working conditions in the facility and have made these complaints
the subject of appeals before the Personnel Evaluation Review
Panel, and
WHEREAS, Annex II has proven to be unsuitable both for the
staff of the Friend of the Court and the public they serve.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners hereby requests that the County Executive, in
cooperation with the Circuit Court and Friend of the Court, begin
the process of locating or creating a suitable facility for the
Friend of the Court.
Mr. Chairman, we move the adoption of the foregoing
resolution. •
