IN RE: COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH --TERMINATION OF FULL MANAGEMENT
CONTRACT STUDY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, since the adoption of MR 93092, the Community Mental
Health "Full Management" Contract, Oakland County has been engaged
in continuous negotiation with the State of Michigan to insure that
the State met its funding commitments under this contract, and
WHEREAS, in the ensuing three years of this contract, the
State has imposed its criteria for programmatic implementation and
delivery of services, negating the concept of full management by
the County Community Health Board, but leaving the County of
Oakland with full liability exposure, and
WHEREAS, as a precondition of the Full Management contract,
the State of Michigan had assured the County that it could acquire
the Clinton Valley Hospital(CVC)property, adjacent to the County's
campus, at a minimal cost, and
WHEREAS, the State of Michigan has reneged on its agreement to
nominally transfer the CVC property to Oakland County, and
WHEREAS, in the pursuit of attempting to implement the Full
Management concept, Oakland County has spent hundreds of thousands
of dollars for additional employees, and
WHEREAS, by adoption of MR 96199, the Board of Commissioners
has directed the creation of a Task Force to review the creation of
a Community Mental Health Authority as an alternate structure for
the delivery of mental health services to the citizens of Oakland
County.
WHEREAS, in order to preserve to itself and its citizens the
full range of options for the provision of mental health services
in Oakland County, it is necessary for the Board of Commissioners
to give notice of termination of the full management contract.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that pursuant to the provisions
of the full management contract, the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby gives notice to the Michigan Department of
Community Health, under the provisions of the Full Management
Contract Part I (A) (9), that it wishes to terminate said contract,
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County Executive be requested
to review the findings of the Task Force on the Creation of a
Community Mental Health Authority and to undertake all necessary
actions to study the termination of the full management contract at
the earliest possible date, and recommend to the Board of
Commissioners on the creation of a Mental Health Authority as well
as the advisability of returning the mental health services
responsibilities to the State of Michigan.
Chairprson, we move the adoptionf the foregping resolution.
