PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION 096002
BY: Charles E. Palmer, District 016
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS/COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH = ESTABLISH
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH BOARD
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS nearly all matters considered by the Community Mental Health Board (CMHB)
are brought to the Board of Commissioners and its appropriate standing committees for action; and
WHEREAS by virtue of this reporting structure, requests for action by the Community
Mental Health Director and staff may take four to six weeks, sometimes longer, for final disposition;
and
WHEREAS the CMHB, by provision of state law, is an administrative board duly authorized
to oversee the day-to-day operations of the Community Mental Health program in Oakland County;
and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners believes that this approval process is inherently
inefficient and overly burdensome to the Community Mental Health director and staff; and
WHEREAS by authorizing the CMHB to report its activity to the Board of Commissioners
and its standing committees on an informational basis, it is expected that the Community Mental
Health program's position will be enhanced relative to meeting the needs and addressing the
concerns of mental health care recipients, providers, agencies and the general public.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
authorizes the Community Mental Health Board (CMHB), in accordance with its statutory authority
as cited in the Mental Health Code (M.C.L. 330.1001 et seq.), to report its activities, as determined
by the CMHB, to the appropriate Board of Commissioners liaison committee on an informational
basis, with the exception of :
1. the annual plan and budget for Community Mental Health,
2. requests for expenditures in excess of the budget as approved by the Board of
Commissioners,
3. personnel matters as referenced in Section XI.A.3 of the Board Rules, and
4. acceptance of all federal and state grants as referenced in Section XI.A.10 of the
Board Rules (specifically MR 89105, as amended by MR 93020).
Considerations by the ClvIHB on the above referenced items shall be presented to the Board of
Commissioners for action in accordance with state law, County policy and Board Rules.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners and the
Chairperson of the CMHB shall be authorized to approve federal, state and/or private grants
awarded to the CMHI3 which require immediate acceptance or acceptance in a time manner which
does not permit approval pursuant to the Grants Policy as established in MR 89105, as amended by
MR 93020.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that any policies, resolutions and/or procedures, or portions
thereof, that conflict with this resolution are hereby rescinded.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
