IN RE: SHERIFF DEPARTMENT — ADDITION OF SECOND HELICOPTER FOR AVIATION UNIT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners created an Aviation
Unit within the Sheriff's Department that envisioned two helicopters
(M.R. #00211); and
WHEREAS the proposal for an Aviation Unit was predicated upon a savings
within the Sheriff Department Budget from privatizing the Food Service
operation; and
WHEREAS the estimated budgetary impact upon the Sheriff's Department
over a ten year period will save the County money; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff having met all initial goals is requesting the
addition of a second helicopter for the Aviation unit in order to make the
unit more productive and efficient; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Chiefs of Police Association has endorsed
the addition of a second helicopter within the Sheriff's Department Aviation
Unit; and
WHEREAS law enforcement that provides for safety and security in
Oakland County would be greatly enhanced with the addition of a second
helicopter available to assist all law enforcement agencies within the
jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS the second helicopter will need operating costs and the
creation of two (2) new positions; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff is proposing that the funding for this second
helicopter come from the savings of the privatization of the Food Service
Operations within the Oakland County Sheriff's Department.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the purchase of a second helicopter along with
operating costs in the Patrol Services Division of the Oakland County
Sheriff's Department.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that two (2) GF/GP Deputy II positions be
created in the Aviation Unit, Patrol Services Division, Sheriff Department.
