BY: Finance Committee, sue Ann Douglas, Chairperson
IN RE: COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH AUTHORITY - REQUEST FOR ADVANCED PAYMENT OF
COUNTY MATCH
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners, by Misc. Resolution #98215 dated
September 24, 1998, accepted the proposed transition plan and established the
Oakland County Community Mental Health Authority (CMHA), effective January 1,
1999, for purposes of carrying out the provisions of the Michigan Mental
Health Code, PA 258 of 1974, as amended; and
WHEREAS the Fiscal Note attached to the referenced resolution reads, in
part:
That subject to the constraint of funds actually appropriated by the
County Board of Commissioners, the amount of County match required of a
county that has created a Community Mental Health Authority may not
exceed the amount of funds provided by the county as county match in
Fiscal Year 1994-1995 or the year the authority is created, whichever
is greater. In Oakland County's situation, the Fiscal Year 1994-1995
match of $9,620,616 is the greater amount, therefore, subject to the
constraint of funds actually appropriated by the County Board of
Commissioners, the County may not be required to provide the Oakland
County Community Mental Health Authority with a match greater than
$9,620,919 on an annual basis; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has provided the full complement of funding,
$9,620,919, to the CMHA each year since its creation, payable in monthly
installments of approximately $800,000; and
WHEREAS due to State funding issues and resultant cash flow problems,
CMHA is requesting the County to advance the remaining County match
($4,810,460) for the balance of Fiscal Year 2001; and
WHEREAS if the County were to honor the request to advance funds,
General Fund interest earnings would be adversely impacted by an estimated
$71,000; and
WHEREAS the County is desirous of sustaining CMHA services to
constituents by advancing the remaining FY2001 County match, provided CMHA
replenishes the lost interest earnings to the County General Fund.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the advance of $4,810,460, representing the
remainder of FY2001 County matching funds, to the Oakland County Community
Mental Health Authority (CMHA), upon condition that CMHA replenishes the
estimated lost interest earnings ($71,000) to the County General Fund.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a written agreement be prepared and signed
by the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners and the Chairman of the CMHA,
executing the intent of this resolution before any funds are provided in
advance of the scheduled monthly allocation.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move adoption of the
foregoing resolution.
