IN RE: SHERIFF'S OFFICE — 2019 PAUL COVERDELL FORENSIC SCIENCE IMPROVEMENT GRANT
PROGRAM – AMENDMENT POSITION DELETION

MR #19076 adopted April 2, 2019; and
WHEREAS the grant period is January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) provides forensic laboratory services to Oakland
County and its neighboring communities; and
WHEREAS the grant award included continuation funding for a portion of one (1) Special Revenue (SR) Full-

Investigative and Forensic Services Division, Forensic Services Unit; and
WHEREAS the grant award also included partial funding to create one (1) SR FTE Forensic Toxicology
Chemist position (#4030910-12198) in the Sheriff's Office Investigative and Forensic Services Division,

process; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 25, 2019
559
WHEREAS instead of filling the position this late in the award period, OCSO proposed an alternate use of
funding to the Michigan State Police (MSP) that will: a) ensure the opioid-related allocation is fully utilized by
the end of the grant period and b) have an immediate impact on the quality and scope of service that OCSO
provides to its customers; and
WHEREAS a request to redirect funding in the amount of $44,691 to purchase kits for expanded opioid testing
was submitted; and
WHEREAS the MSP has approved the grant amendment request, which will result in the deletion of the SR
FTE Forensic Toxicology Chemist position (#4030910-12198); and
WHEREAS the balance of the FTE Forensic Laboratory Investigator position (#4030910-11785) and the
opioid testing kits will require less funding from the Law Enforcement Enhancement Lab Fees Restricted Fund
(#21340) reducing the budgeted amount from $155,090 to $92,259; and
WHEREAS the grant amendment has completed the Grant Review process in accordance with Miscellaneous
Resolution #19006.

Paul Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grant Amendment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED to delete one (1) SR FTE Forensic Toxicology Chemist position (#4030910-

transfer of $62,831 from the Law Enforcement Enhancement Lab Fees Restricted Fund is no longer needed
to cover the cost of the position.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners is authorized to execute
the grant amendment and to approve any grant extensions or changes, within fifteen percent (15%) of the
original award, which are consistent with the original agreement as approved.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that acceptance of this grant does not obligate the County to any future
commitment, and continuation of the Special Revenue position in the grant is contingent upon future levels of
grant funding.

units within the County their respective shares of delinquent ad valorem real property taxes,
in anticipation of the collection of those taxes by the County Treasurer. This policy

unrestricted balance to fall below a level that would assure a prompt payment of all current
and future outstanding General Obligation Limited Tax Notes, as well as assure the
continued operation of the DTRF as specified in the preceding paragraph.
3) Penalties and investment interest generated by the DTRF may be transferred, in whole or
in part, to the General Fund of the County upon majority vote of the Board of
Commissioners so long as such transfer(s) meets the provisions of paragraph #2 above.
4) Any and all appropriations from unrestricted DTRF funds, excepting penalties and
investment interest, shall be limited to one-time expenditures, as opposed to recurring
operations.
5) Unless otherwise specified, appropriations from the DTRF shall be considered long- or
short-term advances (with specific time frames detailed in the authorizing resolution), to be
repaid with interest as specified below.

within a time certain shall require a majority vote of the Board of Commissioners.

a. Interest on each payment will be based on the average monthly rate paid during
the term of the agreement by the agent of the DTRF for that year's outstanding
borrowing, or

amending the general appropriations measure through action by the Board of Commissioners,
except within those limits provided for in paragraph #16 of this resolution.
16. Appropriations accumulated at the following three summary levels of expenditure within each
County Department will be deemed maximum authorization to incur expenditures: Personnel
Expenditures, Operating Expenditures, and Internal Support Expenditures. The County Executive
or the Fiscal Officer shall exercise supervision and control of all budgeted expenditures within these
limits, holding expenditures below individual line-item appropriations or allowing overruns in
individual line-items providing that at no time shall the net expenditures exceed the total
appropriation for Personnel and Operating Expenditures, respectively, for each department as
originally authorized or amended by the Board of Commissioners. Further, Personnel Expenditures
are authorized only for positions specifically authorized pursuant to this Act as adopted and
amended by Board of Commissioner resolution, and appropriated overtime, holiday overtime, on-
call pay, shift premium summer help, emergency salaries, and any adjustments required by
collective bargaining agreements. The Fiscal Officer shall submit to the Finance Committee a
quarterly listing of new governmental funded appropriations and internal service fund line items
created administratively which were not properly classifiable. Line-item detail, division, unit or cost
center detail and allotments, which provide a monthly calendarization of annual appropriations, as
deemed necessary by the Fiscal Officer shall be maintained and utilized as an administrative tool
for management information and cost control. The Fiscal Officer shall not approve any expenditure
beyond that necessary to accomplish stated program or work objectives authorized in the general
appropriation measure as originally approved unless amended, in which case the amendment
takes precedence.
17. In order to amend the General Appropriations Act the amendment must specifically identify the
fund, department, division, unit, program and account affected by the amendment. Additionally, if
the amendment increases an appropriation, the source of funding for that additional appropriation,
whether an increase in revenue or an offsetting decrease in expenditure, must be presented as
part of the amendment.
18. The Fiscal Officer shall maintain, for all budgeted funds, appropriation ledger accounts in which are
to be recorded such expenditure encumbrances and obligations for the future payment of
appropriated funds as the Fiscal Officer may approve.

is payable and shall be paid from no other fund or appropriation. The necessary amount of the
appropriation from such account shall be transferred pursuant to the provisions of this resolution to
the appropriate general appropriation account and the expenditure then charged thereto.
20. No obligation shall be incurred against, and no payment shall be made from, any appropriation
account unless there is a sufficient unencumbered balance in the appropriation and sufficient funds
are or will be available to meet the obligation. All capital projects funded from the Capital
Improvement Fund shall require approval of the Board of Commissioners on recommendation of
the appropriate liaison committee (Planning and Building Committee) prior to initiation of the
project. Pursuant to M.R. #15231, projects under $30,000 can be administratively approved by both
the Director of Facilities Management and the Fiscal Officer (or designee) if funding is available

appropriation for transfer account to any other appropriations account may not be made without

transfers within and between budgeted funds and departments may be made by the Fiscal Officer
in the following instances:
(a) Transfers may be made from the non-departmental Overtime Reserve account and
Fringe Benefit Reserve account to the appropriate departmental budget as specific
overtime requests are reviewed and approved by the Fiscal Services Division.
Additionally, overtime appropriations may be transferred between divisions within
a department at the request of the Department Head, if authorized by the Fiscal
Officer or his/her designee. The Overtime Reserve account includes an estimated
amount for the Parental Leave benefit that may be needed by departments that
have contractual service obligations or job duties that cannot be temporarily
covered by other departmental personnel and the use of Parental Leave causes
the department to exceed their Personnel Expenditure budget category.
(b) Transfers may be made from the non-departmental appropriation accounts for
Maintenance Department Charges and Miscellaneous Capital Outlay to the
appropriate departmental budget as specific requests for these items are reviewed
and approved by the Fiscal Officer or his/her designee.
(c) Transfers may be made from the non-departmental appropriation accounts for
Emergency Salaries Reserve and Summer Employees Reserve as specific
requests for these items are reviewed and approved by the Human Resources
Department.

budgets to a non-departmental Administrative Leave account. Quarterly reports
identifying such transfers and detailing the status of the non-departmental
Administrative Leave account shall be provided to the appropriate Board
committees.
(e) Fringe benefit rates shall be established annually in the budget process to charge
all General Fund/General Purpose, Special Revenue and Proprietary funds for
actual employer fringe benefit costs. Such rates shall be sufficient to meet all fringe
benefit costs including sick leave and annual leave accumulations, tuition
reimbursement, employee training, retirees' medical, required debt service on the
Retiree Health Care Refunding bonds pursuant to M.R. #12299 and M.R. #13280,
and retirement administration. All funds collected for Retirement, Tuition
Reimbursement, Social Security (FICA), Medical for active and retired employees,
Disability, Dental, Optical, and Life and Accident Insurance shall be transferred to
the Employee Fringe Benefit Fund as established by Miscellaneous Resolution
#81312. Sufficient funds shall be maintained in the Employee Fringe Benefit Fund
liability account for sick leave and annual leave to cover the accumulated liability
at an amount equal to 50% of the sick leave accumulation and 100% of the annual
leave accumulation, including applicable Social Security (FICA) taxes thereon. All
funds collected by Workers' Compensation and Unemployment Compensation
shall be transferred to the Fringe Benefit Fund as established by Miscellaneous
Resolution #81012 and modified by Miscellaneous Resolution #96024.
(f) The transfer of funds to the Capital Improvement Fund/Building Improvement Fund
shall be made in accordance with the appropriation authorized by the Board of
Commissioners.

Specific requests will be reviewed and approved by the Fiscal Officer or his/her
designee.
(h) A transfer of any or all of the appropriation allocated under the Non-Departmental

made to any departmental budget without adoption of an Oakland County Board
of Commissioners resolution.
(i) Transfers may be made from the Non-Departmental Juvenile Resentencing
account to the Circuit Court, Prosecuting Attorney and Sheriff’s Office as actual
costs are incurred and upon approval of the Fiscal Officer or his/her designee.
23. The Board of Commissioners may make supplemental appropriations by amending this general
appropriations measure as provided by this resolution, provided that revenues in excess of those
anticipated in the original general appropriations measure become available due to:
(a) An unobligated surplus from prior years becoming available;
(b) Current year revenue exceeding original estimate in amounts sufficient enough to
finance increased appropriations. The Board of Commissioners may make a
supplemental appropriation by increasing the dollar amount of an appropriation
item in the original general appropriations measure or by adding additional items.
At the same time the estimated amount from the source of revenue to which the
increase in revenue may be attributed shall be increased, or other source and
amount added in a sum sufficient to equal the supplemental expenditure amount.
In no case may such appropriations cause total estimated expenditures, including
an accrued deficit, to exceed total estimated revenues, including an
unappropriated surplus.
24. Whenever it appears to the County Executive or the Board of Commissioners that actual and
probable revenues in any fund will be less than the estimated revenues upon which appropriations
from such fund were based, the County Executive shall present to the Board of Commissioners
recommendations which, if adopted, will prevent expenditures from exceeding available revenues
for the current fiscal year. Such recommendations shall include proposals for reducing
appropriations, increasing revenues, or both. After receiving the recommendations of the County
Executive for bringing appropriations into balance with estimated revenues, the Board of
Commissioners shall amend the general appropriations measure to reduce appropriations or shall
approve such m easures necessary to provide revenues sufficient to equal appropriations, or both.
25. All appropriations are annual, and the unexpended portion shall lapse at year-end. Encumbrances
and appropriations carried forward shall be recorded as an assigned fund balance, and the
subsequent year's budget amended to provide authority to complete these transactions.
Appropriations shall not be carried forward for more than six (6) months into the budget year
following the year in which they were originally appropriated. A status report on Appropriations
Carried Forward, as required by Miscellaneous Resolution #93156, will be incorporated as an
integral part of the ensuing year's Second Quarter Financial Forecast for the purposes of
determining their continuation for the remainder of the year. The recommended year-end budget
amendment shall be supported with a statement of revenues and expenditures and operating
surplus or deficit which shall contain the following data: (1) budget as adopted; (2) budget
amendments; (3) budget as adjusted; (4) revenues and expenditures, operating surplus or deficit;
(5) accrued revenue and expenditures; (6) transfers; (7) total revenues and expenditures and
transfers, operating surplus or deficit, including accruals and transfers; (8) encumbrances; (9)
appropriations carried forward; (10) total revenues and appropriations utilized, operating surplus or
deficit, including encumbrances and appropriations carried forward; (11) balance of revenues not
collected, unencumbered appropriation balance, operating surplus or deficit; (12) detail of
adjustments to designated and undesignated fund balance, detail of adjustment to reserves and/or
any other utilization of surplus; (13) final surplus or deficit or undesignated fund balance carried
forward to the subsequent year's budget.

Commissioners, nor (3) forgive a debt or write off an account receivable without appropriate
authorization of the Board of Commissioners, as described in Miscellaneous Resolution #93135
(Bad Debt Write-Off Policy) and Miscellaneous Resolution #12048 (Short Sale Policy). Specifically,
application of the foregoing Bad Debt Write-Off Policy shall be invoked for all amounts in excess of
$1,000; transactions of a lesser amount shall be considered within the administrative authority of
the Fiscal Officer or his/her designee. Application of the foregoing Short Sale policy may be invoked
to allow the County to consider less than the balance owed on an Oakland County home
improvement loan in a proposed sale of property, unless prohibited by Federal Regulations, as
determined by the Manager of the Oakland County Community and Home Improvement Division
or his/her designee. Furthermore, the Fiscal Services Division must submit to the Board of
Commissioners, as part of the quarterly financial report, a listing of all bad debt write-offs (including
short sales) occurring during the preceding three months. In addition, transactions relating to
Inmate Prisoner Billings which are billed in excess of ability to pay are hereby authorized to be
adjusted in accordance with Public Act 212 of 1994 with the resultant amount of the write-off
subsequently reported to the Board of Commissioners as part of the Quarterly Financial Report.
Also, within the administrative authority of the Fiscal Officer and with the general approval of the
Court, Circuit Court and Probate Court financial orders for $2,500 or less may be reduced and
amended by the Fiscal Services Division based on an individual’s ability to pay. Waiver of fees in
excess of $2,500 shall require the approval of the Court. Except as otherwise stated in the General
Appropriations Act, funds shall not be expended without specific appropriation or other appropriate
action by the Board of Commissioners from fund equity; from balance sheet accounts for the
purchase of fixed assets not cited in paragraph 26 of the General Appropriations Act, non-routine

in an audit of the financial records and accounts of the County shall be filed with the State Treasurer
and reported by the State Treasurer to the Attorney General. Pursuant to Public Act 621 of 1978,
the Uniform Budgeting Act, the Attorney General shall review the report and initiate appropriate
action against the person or persons in violation. For use and benefit of the County of Oakland, the
Attorney General or Prosecuting Attorney may institute a civil and/or criminal action in a court of
competent jurisdiction for the recovery of County funds disclosed by an examination to have been
illegally expended or collected as a result of malfeasance, and for the recovery of public property

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – URGE MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT,
GREAT LAKES, AND ENERGY (EGLE) TO DEVELOP, AND STATE HOUSE AND SENATE TO PASS
A STATEWIDE SEPTIC CODE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Michigan is the only state without a specific law related to individual and small-quantity on-site
wastewater treatment systems; and
WHEREAS Michigan has about 1.3 million on-site wastewater systems (septic systems) that serve as
permanent wastewater infrastructure for more than 30 percent of homes and businesses; and
WHEREAS there is no central system that tracks these on-site systems’ precise locations, conditions or
risks to sources of water; and
WHEREAS currently only 11 of our 83 counties require inspections of septic systems after installation; and
WHEREAS all of them only include inspections at the point-of-sale; and
WHEREAS government mandated point-of-sale inspections have been proven to be ineffective; and
WHEREAS the lifespan of a septic system is generally 15-25 years; many systems can go over 20 years
without being inspected; and
WHEREAS the Environmental Protection Agency recommends inspecting septic systems every three
years; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has between 80,000 and 100,000 septic systems; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has more inland lakes than any other county in Michigan; and
WHEREAS implementing a cyclical and balanced inspection schedule can truly protect the health and
safety of our communities; and
WHEREAS protection of public health and protection of Michigan’s abundant freshwater resources are of
paramount importance to building and maintaining a thriving environment and economy for all residents.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges EGLE to
develop, and the State House and Senate to pass a statewide septic code to govern installation, operation,
maintenance, and inspection of septic systems at regular intervals of no greater than ten years.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges EGLE to develop
recommended standards and guidance to assist local health departments in permitting different types of
onsite wastewater treatment systems, including nonproprietary technologies and a strong definition of
septic system failure that is protective of public health and water resources.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges that part of the
statewide septic code includes a component educating homeowners of the importance of maintaining and
regularly inspecting their septic systems.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 25, 2019
581
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges that part of the
septic code would address funding for homeowners who cannot afford to repair or replace a failing septic
system through low-interest loans or grants, and funding to local health departments to implement a robust
septic inspection program.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward
copies of the adopted resolution to the Governor of the State of Michigan, the Director of EGLE, the State
Senate Majority and Minority leaders, the State House Speaker and Minority leader, and the members of
the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSITION TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE RULE 338.1751
CHANGES AND SUPPORT FOR HOUSE BILL 4325 – LICENSED PROFESSIONAL COUNSELORS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS licensed professional counselors (LPCs) are often the most accessible clinicians available to
individuals in need of emotional, behavioral and psychological services and supports; and
WHEREAS LPCs utilize empirically supported and best practice models of intervention; and
WHEREAS LPCs assist clients in creating sustainable and socially significant changes within themselves,
their relationships, and within their community; and
WHEREAS an LPCs approach depends on their education and professional experience, and includes the
practice of psychotherapy using numerous theoretical orientations and interventions; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 25, 2019
582
WHEREAS in Michigan, LPCs are regulated by state statue and by Administrative Rule; and
WHEREAS the statute has never been updated since it was first passed into law and the last time updates
were made to the rule was in 1989; and
WHEREAS despite the unanimous objections of the Board of Counseling Rules Committee, the Department
of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) is recommending the repeal of virtually all the rules that define
an LPC’s scope of practice under R338.1751; and
WHEREAS included in this repeal is the practice of “counseling techniques” and the related ability to
“diagnose and identify the problem”. Without these and numerous other definitions, the counseling scope
of practice is severely limited; and
WHEREAS according to the Michigan Mental Health Counselors Association (MMHCA), it is estimated that
up to 150,000 clients would be left without access to services if the LARA changes are implemented; and
WHEREAS rewriting the current scope of practice, which has been in place for 30 years, would impact
10,000 practicing LPCs in the State of Michigan, resulting in a decrease in services and supports in a field
that already has significant shortage of mental health professionals; and
WHEREAS House Bill 4325 is a measure that was introduced by Representative Aaron Miller in March of
2019 that will help to clarify the LPC’s role, supervision, and education requirements; and
WHEREAS the bill would officially codify the LPC scope of practice to diagnose by updating the definitions
for "counseling methods" or "counseling principles"; and
WHEREAS it will also amend the descriptions in statute of the scopes of practice of several other counseling
professions; and
WHEREAS finally, it will clarify the rules regarding required training to become an LPC and to continue to
practice in the state of Michigan.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes LARA’s
proposed rule changes at the forthcoming public hearing on October 4, 2019.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners call upon the members of
the Michigan Legislature to pass HB 4325 which will officially codify the Licensed Professional Counselors’
scope of practice and clarify the rules around required training.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward
copies of the adopted resolution to the Governor of the State of Michigan, the Director of LARA, the State
Senate Majority and Minority leaders, the State House Speaker and Minority leader, and the members of
the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – DESIGNATION OF OCTOBER 2019 AS NATIONAL
ATTENTION DEFICIT/HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER (ADHD) AWARENESS MONTH IN OAKLAND
COUNTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS October is National Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Awareness Month to raise
awareness of ADHD and to improve the lives of the millions of children and adults in the United States living
with ADHD and to ensure reliable resources and information based on research and scientific evidence is
provided to support individuals and families; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 25, 2019
583
WHEREAS ADHD affects both children and adults, it is a persistent pattern of inattention and/or
hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or development, such as the ability of an individual
to regulate activity level, inhibit behavior, and attend to tasks in developmentally appropriate ways; and
WHEREAS ADHD, the most extensively studied mental disorder in children, affects an estimated 6 million
children and an estimated 10 million adults across racial, ethnic, and socio-economic lines; and
WHEREAS for children without a diagnosis, ADHD causes them to have trouble paying attention, controlling
impulsive behaviors, being overly active, and have difficulty at school, home, or with friends; and
WHEREAS adults undiagnosed and untreated for ADHD can lead to significant problems with education,
social and family situations and relationships, employment, self-esteem, and emotional health; and
WHEREAS despite the serious consequences that can be apparent in the family and life experiences of an
individual with ADHD, studies indicate that at least 75 percent of adults who have ADHD do not know they
have it and if left untreated, leads to other problems; and
WHEREAS current research shows that genetics plays an important role and scientific studies are
evaluating other causes and risk factors including brain injury, exposure to environmental (e.g., lead) during
pregnancy or at a young age, alcohol and tobacco use during pregnancy, premature delivery, and low birth
weight; and
WHEREAS the lack of public knowledge and understanding of the disorder play a significant role in the
overwhelming numbers of undiagnosed and untreated cases of ADHD, and the dissemination of inaccurate,
misleading information contributes as an obstacle for diagnosis and treatment; and
WHEREAS the Surgeon General, the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association,
the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Psychological Association, the
American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National
Institutes of Mental Health, among others, recognize the need for proper diagnosis, education, and
treatment of ADHD; and
WHEREAS studies by the National Institute of Mental Health and others consistently reveal that through
proper comprehensive diagnosis and treatment, the symptoms of ADHD can be substantially decreased,
and one’s quality of life can be improved; and
WHEREAS it is essential to continually consider ways to improve access and the quality of mental health
services dedicated to improving the quality of life of children and adults with ADHD, as well as their families;
and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners encourages all Americans to find out more about
ADHD, to support ADHD mental health services, and seek the appropriate treatment and support, if
necessary.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners designates
October 2019 as National Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Awareness Month in Oakland
County and encourages our citizens, governmental agencies, businesses and schools to observe the day
with appropriate programs and activities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward

Network and Oakland Schools
