RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS — CONTINUATION OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE
COORDINATING COUNCIL AND APPOINTMENT OF MEMBERS
TO: Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen;
WHEREAS chronic jail overcrowding has placed a tremendous burden on Oakland County's
criminal justice system; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted Miscellaneous Resolution
#04179 to establish the Jail Population Management Task Force that worked with the National
Institute of Corrections (N IC) to perform a Jail Crowding Local System Assessment; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted Miscellaneous Resolution
#05001 to re-establish the Jail Population Management Task Force to develop a Jail Population
Management Plan to make recommendations to establish jail management policies; reduce
dependencies upon the local corrections system; and expedite the processing of criminal cases; and
WHEREAS the consultants from the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) recommended that
Oakland County "develop a collaborative approach with accompanying organization mechanisms to
increase communication, cooperation and coordination of the entire justice system operating within
Oakland County"; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted Miscellaneous Resolution
#05152 to create the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council to develop recommendations and plans
that would: (1) enhance the management of Oakland County's criminal justice population, including,
but not limited to, issues related to utilization of jail space; (2) foster communication, cooperation
and coordination toward developing a collaborative approach to the entire justice system operating
within Oakland County; (3) provide more effective resource allocation and (4) improve the quality of
criminal justice programs; and
WHEREAS despite the successful implementation of a new felony plea program, there still exists in
Oakland County a critical need to address jail overcrowding, as evidenced by the Oakland County
Sheriff and county judicial officials having to invoke the statutory jail overcrowding emergency act,
which results in the mandatory early releases for sentenced inmates.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
authorizes the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council shall continue in order to complete its charge
per Miscellaneous Resolution #05152.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council shall
