MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION 04056
BY: COMMISSIONERS SHELLEY TAUB, RUTH JOHNSON, KAY SCHMID, JOHN
MC CULLOCH, SUE DOUGLAS
IN RE: CMH SERVICES-Major Program Funding Changes
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the Community Mental Health Department, through its
Community Mental Health Services Board, has submitted its 1994 and
1995 budget to the Board of Commissioners for approval and
inclusion in the Oakland County Budget, and
WHEREAS, the Community Mental Health portion of the total
adopted County budget is allocated to the following major programs:
Mental Illness Children's Services, Mental Illness Adult Services
and Developmentally Disabled Services, and
WHEREAS, movement of funds from one major program component to
another violates the intent of the 1994 -1995 Oakland County
Biennial Budget, as adopted by the Board of Commissioners, and
undermines the County's budgetary planning process and diminishes
the budgetary authority of the Board of Commissioners.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that it is the intent of the
Board of Commissioners to maintain current funding levels within
the respective program components, and that those hospital release
"trade-off dollars" for mentally ill adults and children be
maintained in their respective categorical programs to serve those
populations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners does
hereby direct the Community Mental Health Services Board to cease
any movement of funds from any of the major program components to
another without the prior review and budgetary amendment approval
of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners.
Chairman, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution. -----_---
