MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #95016
BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE - KAY SCHMID, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES/COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH - URGE STATE
LEGISLATURE TO COMMIT LAPSED OAKLAND COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH FUNDS FOR USE IN
OAKLAND COUNTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen;
WHEREAS approximately 601 of the Community Mental Health budget is
allocated for services provided by State Inpatient and Residential facilities;
and
WHEREAS invoices from the State of Michigan for these services are not
received in a timely manner, sometimes requiring several years before the
payment process is complete for any given fiscal year; and
WHEREAS this delayed billing practice and lack of sufficient facility
utilization data from the State creates uncertainty in determining the amount
of lapsed funds each year; and
WHEREAS following prudent financial management practices, estimates for
State facilities are accrued based on the highest estimate from all sources of
data available in order to protect the County from possible overspending that
could occur if low estimates were used; and
WHEREAS this conservative accrual estimate will most likely result in
further lapsing of Community Mental Health dollars; and
WHEREAS Oakland County should not be required to forfeit lapsed State
Mental Health funds as a result of the uncertainty attributed to deferred
State invoices; and
WHEREAS these lapsed funds should remain committed for use in Oakland
County either to provide services to consumers in subsequent fiscal years or
to be reserved in a fund dedicated for improvements to the Clinton Valley
Center property in anticipation of downsizing the inpatient facility.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners urges the State Legislature to commit lapsed Oakland County
Community Mental Health state funds for use in Oakland County until such time
that State Mental Health Facility invoices can be delivered to the County
within sixty (60; days following the end of a month in which services were
provided.
BE IT F-JRTHER RESOLVED that any committed lapsed funds should be used to
provide services to consumers in subsequent fiscal years or to be reserved in
a fund dedicated for improvements to the Clinton Valley Center property upon
downsizing the inpatient facility.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk is directed to send
a copy of this resolution to all State Legislators representing Oakland
County, the Chairperson of the State Mental Health Appropriation Committee,
the Michigan Association of counties, and to the Michigan Association of
Community Mental Health Boards,
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.
