Area Agency on Aging (AAA), and
WHEREAS, under the Federal Older American's Act, Michigan
currently has 14 PSA'S, and
WHEREAS, the Michigan Commission on Aging has begun the
process of holding public hearings to consider the division of
PSA 3 which currently includes Barry, Calhoun, St. Joseph , Branch
and Kalamazoo Counties into three distinct regions, and
WHEREAS, the increase in administrative costs of managing
three PSA'S instead of one will impact the funding Oiqtrihntion
formula for every AAA in Michigan.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby concur with the position of the Area
Agency on Aging 1-B Advisory Board of Directors that the expansion
of the number of PSA'S in Michigan should be opposed and that the
Michigan Office of Services to the Aging and the Michigan
Commission on Aging should thoroughly investigate what the
financial impact the formation of additional PSA'S would have on
the entire State, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners conversely requests that the Michigan Office of
Services to the Aging and the Michigan Commission on Aging
thoroughly and actively investigate what the service delivery
impact of combining existing PSA'S would have on seniors, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be
forwarded to Oakland County's legislators, the Governor, the Area

the Michigan Commission on Aging and to Oakland County's
legislative agents.

move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
