RE: Board of Commissioners — A Resolution Affirming Oakland County's Support For
And Participation In The Tr-County Summit 2007
TO: Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Whereas, Commissioners from Macomb, Oakland and Wayne County and members of
the Detroit City Council, in the spirit of regional cooperation, held their first Tr-County Summit in
May of 1998. 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. The Task
Forces 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, fingerprints 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 Macomb, Oakland
and Wayne recognize the benefit of continuing the partnership and collaborative efforts to
strengthen the ability to address complex issues facing our region; and
Whereas, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hosted the 2006 Tr-County
Summit on March 20, 2006, at Glen Oaks in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Nearly 300 legislative
leaders from the City of Detroit and the Counties of Macomb, Oakland and Wayne County
attended and worked on community issues relating to Transportation, Infrastructure, and Mental
Health; and
Whereas, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby recognize the
significant benefit of regional cooperation and integration of efforts at promoting policies,
methods and strategies as an essential component to enhancing the economic vitality of the Tr-
County Region.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Macomb County Board of Commissioners will
host the Tr-County Summit 2007 aboard the Ovation yacht which will highlight one of the
region's most valuable assets — Lake St. Clair. Key leaders from the tri-county area are invited
to attend and participate in two subcommittees, which will meet in the months preceding the
Summit to study issues relating to water and quality of life.
Be It Further Resolved, that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners joins with
our esteemed colleagues from the City of Detroit, Wayne County and Macomb County in
affirming our support and participation in the Tr-County Summit. The Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby confirms that they will participate and support the Tr-County Summit
2007.
