RE: Board of Commissioners - Expanded West Nile Virus Programs
TO: Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the West Nile Virus causes an infection that results in swelling of the brain. This
disease can be serious, even fatal, for infants and the elderly; and
WHEREAS, the West Nile Virus has recently been detected in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS, Oakland County, with over 450 lakes, poses an ideal breeding ground for
mosquitoes that can carry the West Nile Virus; and
WHEREAS, there is not currently a county-wide program for spraying to deter the spread of
virus carrying mosquitoes.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby request the County Executive and Oakland County Health Division to explore the
feasibility of establishing a mosquito spraying program that can be offered to the local municipalities
for a fee.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the recommendations of the County Executive and
Oakland County Health Division should report back their recommendations to the General
Government and Finance Committees within thirty (30) days.
