the Detroit City Council, in the spirit of regional cooperation, held their first Tr-County Summit in
May of 1998; and
Whereas, the first Tr-County Summit was hosted by Wayne County, the Michigan State Fair
and the Michigan Association of Counties wherein common issues were identified for
cooperative action; and
Whereas, in August 1998, Oakland County hosted the second Tr-County Summit, Five Task
Forces were identified to address areas for cooperation: Mental Health, Transportation/Transit,
Economic Development, Criminal Justice and Environment; and
Whereas, the Task Forces, which are comprised of elected officials, department
representatives, Commission and Council staff and interested parties from SEMCOG, the
Detroit Regional Chamber, Daimler Chrysler and the Citizens Research Council; and
Whereas, in August of 1999, Macomb County hosted the third Tr-County Summit. This event
focused on the successes of the various Task Forces. The Criminal Justice Task Force had
compiled an inventory of programs offered by the Detroit Police Department and the Sheriff
Departments in the Tr-County area - including how to share mug shots, finger prints and other
data; the Mental Health Task Force hosted a breakfast to discuss key appropriations and policy
issues with state legislators; and the Transportation and Economic Task Forces held a joint
meeting to discuss regional transportation solutions; and
Whereas, the new leaders in the City of Detroit and the Counties of Wayne, Oakland and
