NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby amends
the Articles of Incorporation for the Oakland County Art Institute Authority as follows:
ARTICLE V – Powers and Duties
1. The Authority is a public body corporate with the power to sue and be sued in any court of the State of
Michigan and is an authority under Section 6 of Article IX of the Michigan Constitution of 1963.
2. The Authority shall have all powers necessary to carry out the purposes of its formation and all things
incident to carrying out the purposes of its formation, including those powers specified by the Act and these
Articles. The enumeration of specific powers shall not be construed as a limitation on the general powers
of the Authority.
3. The Authority may levy a tax of not more than 0.2 mill for a period of not more than 10 years on all of the
taxable property within Oakland County for the purpose of providing revenue to an art institute services
provider that will be used exclusively for the benefit of the art institute to which the art institute services
provider renders services in accordance with MCL 123.1201, et seq.
4. The Authority shall not utilize the property tax provisions of the Act without first obtaining the
approval of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, separately for each proposed ballot
proposal, both as to the amount and duration of any levy. Said approval shall be evidenced by
affirmative vote of a majority of the members elected to and serving on the County Board of
Commissioners.
4. 5. Before a vote for a tax levy authorized under the Act occurs, or, if an initial art institute services provider

the art institute services provider shall enter into a contract with the Authority requiring the art institute
services provider to use the funds received from the Authority exclusively to support the provision of art
institute services to an art institute. Art Institute services mean the operation or support of an art institution

the residents of Oakland County who voted on and approved the tax levied by the Authority. Preferences
or benefits include, but are not limited to, free admission for Oakland County residents, discounted
membership fees, discounts for school children and access to educational programs.
7. 8. The Authority may contract for or retain professional services or enter into contracts incidental or
necessary for the accomplishment of the Act.
8. 9. The Authority shall reimburse all governmental units for actual costs incurred in the election of a tax

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – DECLARE NOVEMBER 2019 AS HOMELESSNESS
AWARENESS MONTH IN OAKLAND COUNTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS when most people think about homelessness, their minds often jump to the image of someone
sleeping and living on the streets. In reality, homelessness takes many forms and is not always obvious,
even from up close; and
WHEREAS there is no single experience of homelessness. For some, homelessness can be temporary
and brief while for others it can last for months or years; and
WHEREAS homelessness can essentially be broken down into four categories: chronic, episodic, transitional, and
hidden; and
WHEREAS each person experience is different, but data shows that there are alarming trends that should
be addressed; and
WHEREAS while Michigan’s economy has improved, that improvement has not translated to less people
living at or below the poverty line; and
WHEREAS in Michigan, there are families who lose their homes due to foreclosure or evictions, individuals
who are unable to pay rent due to financial insecurity, seniors who don’t have enough savings to stay in
their home, and women and youth who cannot safely stay with their families; and
WHEREAS historical and structural discrimination has led to a higher rate of persons of color experiencing
homelessness; and
WHEREAS historically, obstacles for these groups have made access to quality affordable housing and
economic mobility more difficult, and high rates of incarceration for persons of color create difficulties in
finding employment; and
WHEREAS in Oakland County there are on any given night are over 400 homeless people and only 165
are able to stay in shelters; and
WHEREAS in 2018, almost 3,000 individuals experienced homelessness in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS often these are the most vulnerable individuals that have experienced domestic violence, live
in poverty, have disabilities, have complex behavioral health and medical needs, young adults aging out of
foster care, older adults, LGBTQ members, and our military veterans; and
WHEREAS a disproportionate number of people in these specific subpopulations are impacted by
homelessness in Oakland County; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 7, 2019
677
WHEREAS structural racism, discrimination, sexism, and bias are contributors to these inequities and need
to be considered when understanding the full scope of homelessness in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS resolving homelessness for many is further compromised by insufficient shelter beds and a
lack of affordable rental units in Oakland County; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners declares
November 2019 as Homelessness Awareness Month in Oakland County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners recognizes the needs of
its citizens experiencing homelessness and those agencies in the county who work diligently to resolve
homelessness one individual at a time.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners encourages all citizens to
get involved with local efforts to highlight the plight of homelessness.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

CARRIAGE CIRCLE PROJECT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS support of affordable housing for low-income persons and providing funding to projects that

WHEREAS large numbers of these households include seniors, working families, children, immigrants and
disabled members of our community; and
WHEREAS preserving quality homes for the current and future residents of public housing must be the
ultimate focus of any efforts to address affordable housing needs in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the federal government has for decades underfunded the major repair, renovation, and

Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 7, 2019

WHEREAS available funds advance to assist in the development or rehabilitation of low-income housing

of 234 units of existing affordable housing at Carriage Circle through the Michigan State Housing
Development Authority (MSHDA) Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program; and
WHEREAS the City of Pontiac is currently developing a comprehensive rehabilitation plan that will require
the participation of public and private stakeholders which will detail how the City plans to invest its resources
to meet the County’s ongoing needs for affordable housing, community development, economic
development, and public services; and
WHEREAS the Pontiac Housing Commission is requesting that Oakland County provide conditional
approval of $3 million in funding through the HOME and/or CBDG program to bridge a gap in resources in
the overall $37 million rehabilitation renovation of the Carriage Circle project; and preserve viable affordable
housing to some of our county’s most vulnerable individuals; and
WHEREAS Oakland County’s conditional commitment, at this early stage, is absolutely critical for the City
of Pontiac, the Pontiac Housing Commission and the Carriage Place Limited Dividend Housing Association
Limited Partnership to continue to pursue approval of funding for redevelopment of the project through the
Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) and the U.S Department of Housing and Urban
Development’s (HUD) Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) Program; and
WHEREAS Oakland County is committed to working in partnership with its local cities, villages and
townships to preserve, and when possible, increase the stock of affordable housing.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the County of Oakland grants conditional approval and support
of $3,000,000 in HOME and/or CDBG and/or other Oakland County funds to Carriage Place Limited
Dividend Housing Association Limited Partnership.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that final approval and disbursement will be contingent upon the award
of LIHTC from MSHDA, underwriting by the County following receipt of the MSHDA LIHTC award and
approval to close by all financing partners.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the Oakland County Department of Economic Development and
Community Affairs is directed to assist the Carriage Place Limited Dividend Housing Association
Limited Partnership, the City of Pontiac and the Pontiac Housing Commission with the Carriage Circle
project renovation plan and prepare all necessary correspondence notifying appropriate agencies of
Oakland County’s conditional approval of the project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Oakland County’s support is contingent upon meaningful consultation
throughout the planning, design, and implementation process of preservation and rehabilitation strategies
for Carriage Circle.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Oakland County’s support is further contingent upon the Pontiac
Housing Commission’s continued assurance that the rehabilitated units will remain affordable to the
residents of Oakland County.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

AND CREATING AN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN IN OAKLAND
COUNTY
Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 7, 2019
679
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS long-term temperature observations are among the most consistent and widespread evidence
of a warming planet; and
WHEREAS temperature affects agricultural productivity, energy use, human health, water resources,
infrastructure, natural ecosystems, and many other essential aspects of society and the natural
environment; and
WHEREAS according the U.S. Global Change Research Program’s (USGCRP) 2017 Climate Science
Special Report, global annual average temperature has increased by more than 1.2°F during a 30-year
time period (1986–2016), in comparison to 1.8°F during an 85-year time period (1901–1986); and
WHEREAS the last few years have also seen record-breaking, climate-related weather extremes, the three
warmest years on record for the globe, and continued decline in arctic sea ice. These trends are expected
to continue in the future; and
WHEREAS some extreme weather occurrences have already become more frequent, intense, or of longer
duration such as increasing ambient temperature, higher frequency of high heat days, more extreme
flooding and inundation, more intense storms, and greater length of droughts and heat waves; and
WHEREAS without substantial and sustained global mitigation and regional adaptation efforts, climate
change is expected to cause growing losses to American infrastructure, agriculture, ecosystems and
property and impede the rate of economic growth over this century; and
WHEREAS since 1980, the cost of extreme events for the United States has exceeded $1.1 trillion;
therefore, better understanding of the frequency and severity of these events in the context of a changing
climate is warranted; and
WHEREAS impacts from climate change on extreme weather and climate-related events, air quality, and
the transmission of disease through insects and pests, food, and water increasingly threaten the health and
well-being of the American people, particularly populations that are already vulnerable;
WHEREAS the quality and quantity of water available for use by people and ecosystems across the country
are being affected by climate change, increasing risks and costs to agriculture, energy production, industry,
recreation, and the environment; and
WHEREAS whether toxic algal blooms impact a major city's water supply, invasive species threaten
commercial fisheries, or contaminated sediments restrict recreational opportunities, limitations on and
threats to the use of Oakland County lakes remain; and
WHEREAS at risk are at least 54 of Oakland County’s lakes in the river basins of the Clinton, Huron, Rouge,
Shiawassee and Flint Rivers, including Cass Lake, Long Lake, Orchard Lake, Pontiac Lake, White Lake,
and others. These lakes have water levels that are monitored and maintained to provide flood control,
maximize recreation and protect property values; and
WHEREAS Oakland County can act as a global leader by both converting to an ecologically, socially and
economically regenerative economy at emergency speed, and by catalyzing a climate emergency
mobilization effort.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners acknowledges
that a climate emergency threatens our cities, county, region, state, nation, civilization, humanity and the
natural world.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Oakland County commits to a countywide climate emergency
mobilization effort to reverse global warming, with appropriate financial and regulatory assistance from and
State and Federal authorities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Oakland County commits to educate our residents about the climate
emergency and work to catalyze climate emergency mobilization efforts at the local, state, national, and
global levels to provide maximum protection for our residents as well as all the people and species of the
world.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Oakland County commits to keep the concerns of vulnerable
communities central to climate emergency mobilization effort planning processes and to invite and
encourage such communities to actively participate in order to advocate directly for their needs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, in collaboration with other
essential stakeholders, will create an Energy and Environment Infrastructure Plan as a response to a
climate emergency. The plan will:

• contain tangible and measurable goals for the utilization of clean and renewable energy sources,
energy efficiency adoption, and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in county facilities,
transportation systems, and residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
• utilize county-owned properties and parklands for their intended purposes, while also considering
the addition of low-impact, renewable energy sources such as solar photovoltaic (PV) systems
on open land and building roof tops, particularly when planning any improvements to such.
• support similar county-community endeavors to reduce the environmental impact and improve
resiliency and quality of life by increasing the use of electric vehicles, water/energy conservation
and protection efforts, and storm water management policies.
