MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #95321
BY: Public Services Committee, Lawrence A. Obrecht, Chairperson
IN RE: Privatizing the Serving of Subpoenas for Probate Court Child Abuse Defense
Witnesses
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners by Resolution #95223 transferred
the function of subpoena preparation and delivery service from the Probate Court to the Oakland
County Prosecutor; and
WHEREAS the function must be carried out to prevent cases concerning abused and
neglected children being dismissed for lack of witnesses; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Prosecutor has determined the preparation and service of
defense witness subpoenas is a conflict of interest; and
WHEREAS the approximate number of neglect defense subpoenas served each year has
been determined to be approximately 900, and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners wants to be assured these services
will occur in a cost efficient and timely manner.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that a review of the current contract for service
of subpoenas in the Oakland County Sheriffs Department is found to be competitive for this
function and if the current vendor is willing to accept this responsibility, then the Oakland County
Board of Commissioners approves awarding this contract for service of these subpoenas to the above
contractor.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if the contractor cannot or will not accept this
responsibility, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby approves and directs the
Oakland County Executive to prepare a Request for Proposal (REP) for the function of serving
approximately 900 subpoenas and award the contract to the lowest bidder.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Public Services Committee, I move the adoption of the
foregoing resolution.
