MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #96243
BY: David L. Moffitt, District #18
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS VOLUNTARY GUIDELINES ON
COMMISSIONERS' USE OF COUNTY COMPUTERS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in the Information Age, more effective communication
between elected officials, county staff and constituents will
result in a more responsive, better informed government and
constituency; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners and the County Executive
have conceived and implemented a comprehensive data and information
reorganization at Oakland County that has included permitting
county commissioners to have use of county personal computers; and
WHEREAS public perception of the intended purpose and use of
these computers may impede the benefits of development of County
info-sharing if a statement of guidelines regarding their purpose
and use is not developed; and
WHEREAS regulations for the use of vehicles currently exist,
and were recently beneficially revised, following public belief
that such vehicles were being used for personal purposes, same
possibly serving as a beginning model for the development of such
guidelines.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners
form an Ad Hoc Study Committee to develop voluntary guidelines
regarding the use by county commissioners of county computers.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
THOMAS A. LAW
