IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS/LIBRARY SERVICES - LIBRARY UNIT NAME
CHANGE
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County provides library services to our citizens under the auspices
of the Oakland County Library Board, and
WHEREAS the Library Board feels that it is appropriate to change the name of the
Oakland County Library for the Blind & Physically Handicapped unit to reflect the approval of
Proposal A in the 1998 referendum which replaced the word "handicapped' with "disabled"
in the Michigan Constitution, and to accurately reflect that the Library serves individuals that are
visually impaired, as well as blind patrons, and
WHEREAS the Library Board has approved changing the name of this unit from the
Oakland County Library for the Blind & Physically Handicapped to "Oakland County Library
for the Visually & Physically Impaired".
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners concurs in the Library Board's action to change the name of the Oakland County
Library for the Blind & Physically Handicapped, and does hereby rename this unit the "Oakland
County Library for the Visually & Physically Impaired".
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the adoption of
the foregoing resolution.
