COMMUNITY PARTNERS GRANT APPLICATION/ACCEPTANCE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies, and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County Government was selected by our community's
multipurpose collaborative body (i.e., the Oakland County Human Services Coordinating
Council) in accordance with Michigan Family Independence Agency (MFIA) policy and
Oakland County Board of Commissioners resolution (#96053) to serve as its alternate
fiduciary; and
WHEREAS MFIA has notified Oakland County that funding in the amount of
$331,170 for the period of October 1, 2000, through September 30, 2001, is available to
provide ongoing support for the activities of the Oakland County Human Services
Coordinating Council, including functioning as the contractor and administrator for any
grants received; and
WHEREAS this is the third year of an ongoing grant and no grant application was
needed; and
WHEREAS the primary purpose of this program is to address the increasing
number of reported cases of abuse or neglect by targeting activities and services for at-
risk children and families in unsubstantiated child protective services cases or low-risk
substantiated cases; and
WHEREAS the funding in question is 100% state and federal money passed
through MFIA; and
WHEREAS the grant funds will continue to cover 100% of the program cost and
no additional County resources, including personnel, are required; and
WHEREAS acceptance of this grant does not obligate the County to any future
commitment; and
WHEREAS this grant agreement has been processed through the County
Executive Contract Review Process and the Board of Commissioners Grant Acceptance
Procedures; and
WHEREAS during the last and current fiscal years MFIA has delayed providing
final contract language and failed to negotiate in good faith with Oakland County during
the contract negotiation process; and
WHEREAS MFIA has threatened to cease all Child Protection/Community
Partners-funded services in Oakland County unless Oakland County signs its final
contract offer; and
Page 1 of 3
WHEREAS MFIA's final contract offer contains contract language that is illegal
(violation of MCL 691.1407) and/or penalizes Oakland County and its prospective
human services providers for MFIA's failure to have proposed MFIA contract language
completed and ready for Oakland County review prior to the start of the 2000-2001 fiscal
year; and
WHEREAS this grant acceptance is recommended for approval with
modification.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners accepts the FY 2000-2001 Child Protection/Community Partners Grant in
the amount of $331,170.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this acceptance is specifically conditioned
upon the MFIA's agreement to the following contract language changes to its final offer
for a fiduciary contract, to wit:
• Deletion of the final sentence of the first paragraph of Section I.L. in the
proposed agreement (page 9), specifically, "In no event, shall the FIA make
payment to the contractor for billings submitted more than 90 days after the
end of the billing period."
• Deletion of the final sentence of the only paragraph in Section III.K. in the
proposed agreement (page 14), specifically, "the Contractor shall be respon-
sible for the performance of all assignees or subcontractors."
• Deletion of the language under Article IV. of Amendment #1 to the proposed
agreement (page 2 of Amendment #1), specifically, "In the event that the
Contractor is audited by FIA and as part of the audit non-compliance is cited
for the HSP, the Contractor is responsible to refund to FIA all disallowed
costs related to the HSP's non-compliance."
• Deletion of the second sentence in the preamble of Section K, under Article
VII of Amendment #1 to the proposed agreement (page 3 of Amendment #1),
specifically, "the Contractor shall be responsible for the performance of all
assignees or HSP' s."
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners' approval of the above-referenced contract is specifically conditioned and
premised upon the Michigan Family Independence Agency's concurrence in the terms
and conditions contained in the new Section III.W. of the agreement entitled
AGREEMENT EXCEPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS as added by the County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes its Chairperson to execute this agreement subject to the
following additional condition: That the County's approval for entering into this
agreement is specifically conditioned and premised upon the acceptance, approval, and
Page 2 of 3
execution of the agreement containing the new Section III.W. and the deletion of the
language referenced above by the Michigan Family Independence Agency and that the
failure of the Michigan Family Independence Agency to execute the agreement as
specified shall, without any further act of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners,
automatically negate and void the County's approval and/or acceptance of this agreement
as provided for in this resolution.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that acceptance of this grant does not obligate the
County to any future commitment and continuation of the special revenue positions in the
grant are contingent upon continued future levels of grant funding.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board Chairperson is authorized to
execute this agreement, any changes and extensions to the agreement not to exceed
fifteen percent (15%) which is consistent with the agreement as originally approved.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.
