MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #97139
BY: Commissioners Shelley Taub and Donna Huntoon
IN RE: (SUPPORT)-HB 4307, THE STATE OF MICHIGAN CORRECTIONS BUDGET BILL
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Act 511 of the Public Acts of 1988, the Community
Corrections Act, created an Office of Community Alternatives, whose
purpose is to fund qualifying community corrections alternatives programs
that reduce state prison commitment rates by encouraging participation
of offenders likely to be sentenced to imprisonment in state correctional
facilities or local jails, who would not increase the risk to public
safety, have not demonstrated a pattern of violent behavior, and do not
have a criminal record that indicates a pattern of violent offenses; and
WHEREAS Act 511 expressly requires that continued funding shall be
contingent upon substantial compliance with this objective; and
WHEREAS HB 4307, if adopted, continues to build on a strong
partnership between state and local governments concerning these
important corrections issues; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has become a strong partner in reducing
admissions to both prisons and jails for non-violent offenders; and
WHEREAS this current budget bill makes certain that counties are not
put at a disadvantage for helping the state continue to reduce admissions
to prisons; and
WHEREAS the idea of the "state and local partnership" was that both
the state and counties would mutually benefit, as evidenced by the
reduction in admissions to prison; and
WHEREAS it is clear that the state has benefitted; while local
jails, on the other hand, are beginning to experience the burdens and
problems associated with keeping more offenders in local facilities; and
WHEREAS at the local level, community corrections has helped by
creating effective and strong alternatives to incarceration that have
proven to be cost effective, safe for the public, and effective in
punishing as well as rehabilitating the offenders;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby encourage the State Legislature and Governor
Engler to support and sign a corrections budget bill that ensures that
this "state and local partnership" be maintained.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded
Legislators, Governor Engler and all County
es
to Oakland County's
legislative lobbyists.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
