BY: Public Services Committee, Shelley G. Taub, Chairperson
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SOUTHFIELD JAIL COST REIMBURSEMENT FOR
MAGISTRATE AND SUPPORT PERSONNEL
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, by Misc. Resolution #8852 (dated
March 22, 1979, authorized an agreement between the City of Southfield and the County of Oakland
wherein the County would operate Southfield's Detention Facility in the City of Southfield's Safety Building;
and
WHEREAS the agreement has been twice renewed (Misc. Resolutions #92170 and #95108) but
is currently expired (June 30, 1997) and is being extended on a month-to-month basis; and
WHEREAS contract negotiations are currently centered on the City of Southfield's preclusion from
housing misdemeanents in their own facility; and
WHEREAS, due to the critical overcrowding situation in Oakland County Detention Facilities, the
Office of Sheriff issued a communication to all police agencies and District Courts in the County providing
notification of newly (effective Nov. 19) instituted emergency admission criteria which excluded persons
arrested for non-assaultive misdemeanors, e.g., shoplifters, purse snatchers, etc.; and
WHEREAS appropriate booking procedures can be undertaken if the violator is immediately
brought before a magistrate; and
WHEREAS in recognition that the current budget for 46th District Court (Southfield) does not
contain sufficient funds to provide the necessary level of magistrate services to ensure the safety and
welfare of its citizens, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners desires to provide temporary funding
on a reimbursement basis for one (1) Magistrate and one (1) Clerk for four days per week during the
remainder of December and through February, 1998; and
WHEREAS the estimated cost of the foregoing proposal for the eleven (11) week period amounts
to $14,000; and
WHEREAS the County Executive recommends temporary funding for the additional magistrate
services with a requirement that a formal report be prepared regarding the effectiveness of the program
and submitted to the Board of Commissioners in the first quarter of 1998.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
appropriates $14,000 to reimburse the 46th District Court for additional magistrate services, including one
(1) Magistrate and one (1) Clerk for four days per week during the remainder of December and through
February, 1998, in order to satisfy on a timely basis the Sheriffs admission criteria for the Southfield
Detention Facility.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Public Services Committee, I move the foregoing resolution.
