*MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #20028
BY: Commissioner Gary McGillivray, Chairperson, Public Safety and Social Justice Committee
IN RE: SHERIFF’S OFFICE – POSITION MODIFICATIONS FOR ERP SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) has reviewed its organizational structure in relation
to the County’s new enterprise resource planning (ERP) software standards; and
WHEREAS in an effort to streamline operations, OCSO has worked closely with Human Resources and
Fiscal Services to determine appropriate staffing requirements and budget; and
WHEREAS in order to maintain the level of service needed, OCSO has proposed a modification of the
current structure from multi-employee filled positions into the use of single incumbent filled positions; and
WHEREAS this change would match historical and projected use of positions at all locations; and
WHEREAS to accomplish this, it is requested that seventy-two (72) positions be deleted as shown under
Exhibit A – Deletions, and one hundred fifty-five (155) positions be created as shown under Exhibit B -
Creations; and
WHEREAS the deletion and creation of positions required to accommodate the ERP system
implementation does not require any increased budget of salaries and fringe benefits.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes to
delete seventy-two (72) positions as outlined under Exhibit A – Deletions.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED to create one hundred fifty-five (155) General Fund/General Purpose part-
time non-eligible positions as requested under Exhibit B – Creations.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT OF AMENDING THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT,
SEC. 1905(A)(A), ALSO KNOWN AS THE MEDICAID INMATE EXCLUSION POLICY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Public Safety and Social Justice Committee, having reviewed the above-referenced resolution on

Chairperson, on behalf of the Public Safety and Social Justice Committee, I move the acceptance of the

BY: Commissioners Thomas Kuhn, District #11; Gary McGillivray, District #20; Robert Hoffman, District

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT OF AMENDING THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT, SEC.
1905(A)(A), ALSO KNOWN AS THE MEDICAID INMATE EXCLUSION POLICY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS according to the National Association of Counties, the Medicaid Inmate Exclusion Policy (MIEP)
creates a double standard which puts undue hardships on our county judicial, law enforcement, public
safety and human services systems; and
WHEREAS the Social Security Act, Sec. 1905(a)(A) prohibits the use of federal funds and services, such
as Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Medicare and Medicaid, for medical care provided to “inmates
of a public institution”; and
WHEREAS while this language was intended to prevent state governments from shifting the health care
costs of convicted prison inmates to federal health and disability programs, it has an unintended impact on
local jail inmates who are in a pretrial status and pending disposition; and
WHEREAS historically, jails were designed for short-term stays mainly for those pending disposition or
sentencing, as well as for those convicted of lower level crimes such as misdemeanors; and
WHEREAS while many of these individuals would normally be eligible for federal benefits, including health
care coverage under Medicaid, Medicare, and CHIP, a significant misunderstanding of the difference
between local jails primarily serving those pending disposition vs. state prisons housing convicted
individuals has resulted in the loss of federal benefits for millions of Americans; and
WHEREAS the MIEP denies federal benefits to individuals who are pending disposition and still presumed
innocent under the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses outlined under the 5th and 14th Amendments
of the U.S. Constitution, respectively; and
WHEREAS the MIEP also compromises the ability of corrections enforcement authorities to address the
medical needs of inmates; and
WHEREAS the MIEP drives the overincarceration of those suffering from mental health issues and
substance abuse, as county jails are now among the largest behavioral health facilities in the nation; and
WHEREAS county governments operate 2,875 of our nation’s 3,160 local jails, serving as the front door to
our criminal justice system; and
WHEREAS this policy also puts an undue financial burden on local taxpayers to provide the full cost of
health treatment services that would normally be shared among federal, state and local governmental
partners; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. January 22, 2020
38
WHEREAS there are currently two bills in the U.S. Senate that would aid pre-trial individuals who have not
yet been convicted of a crime - S. 2626, the Restoring Health Benefits for Justice-Involved Individuals Act,
which would allow for continued access to Medicare, CHIP and veterans' health benefits while an individual
is awaiting trial, and S. 2628, the Equity in Pretrial Medicaid Coverage Act, which supports continued access
to Medicaid benefits while an individual is awaiting trial.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners stands in strong
support of amending the Social Security Act, Sec. 1905(a)(A), also known as the Medicaid Inmate Exclusion
Policy.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners acknowledges that access
to health care for those pending disposition and still presumed innocent is a U.S. constitutional right.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners acknowledges that access
to federal health benefits would allow for improved coordination of care while simultaneously decreasing
short-term costs to local taxpayers and long-term costs to the federal government.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners acknowledges that access
to federal health benefits would help counties break the cycle of recidivism caused or exacerbated by
untreated mental illness and/or substance abuse, thereby improving public safety.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward
copies of the adopted resolution to the United States Secretary of the Health and Human Services, the
President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives,
members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the Michigan Association of Counties.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OAKLAND COUNTY WELCOMES BIDDERS TO
VOLUNTARILY PAY PREVAILING WAGES TO CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS WHO
PERFORM COUNTY CONSTRUCTION WORK
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in general, prevailing wage laws require that contractors on public works projects pay their
workers at least the locally prevailing wages and fringe benefits paid on similar projects in the area; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. January 22, 2020
43
WHEREAS Kansas was the first state to adopt a prevailing wage law, in 1891, as part of a broad-based
effort by the Republican legislature to confront the social costs of 10-12-hour workdays, child labor, and
downward wage pressure; and
WHEREAS the first and most significant of the federal laws establishing the prevailing wage rule was the
1931 Davis-Bacon Act, which requires payment of wages “prevailing” in a local area to workers on federally
financed construction projects worth at least $2,000; and
WHEREAS states, counties, and cities adopt their own prevailing wage legislation and policies; and
WHEREAS considerable body of economic analysis finds that prevailing wage regulations do not inflate
the costs of government construction contracts; and
WHEREAS furthermore, many studies have proved that prevailing wage laws can enhance state tax
revenues, industry income, and non-wage benefits for workers; lower future maintenance and repair costs;
reduce occupational injuries and fatalities; and increase the pool of skilled construction workers—to the
benefit of both the public and the construction industry; and
WHEREAS contractors win federal and local contracts based on having the most productive, best equipped,
best trained and most productive workforce; and
WHEREAS higher productivity lowers construction costs without lowering wages; and
WHEREAS prevailing wage laws benefit blue-collar workers and their communities by encouraging training,
lowering the rate of injuries, promoting health care coverage, ensuring that minority and female workers
receive prevailing wages, and encouraging their participation in apprenticeship programs.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners directs the
Compliance Office to include the following statement in all invitations to bid for County-construction work:
“Oakland County welcomes bidders that voluntarily pay prevailing wages in accordance with the provisions
of the Davis-Bacon Act to contractors and subcontractors. Qualification and preference in awarding
contracts to bidders who perform County construction work shall be in compliance with all applicable state
and federal law governing the payment of prevailing wages.”
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT FOR MICHIGAN SENATE BILL 116 AND HOUSE
BILL 4212 – HOLDING POLLUTERS ACCOUNTABLE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS from 1990 until 1995, Michigan had the strongest “polluter pay” law in the country; and
WHEREAS if a corporation was responsible for contaminating Michigan land, air, or water, that corporation
was also responsible for paying to clean up the contamination to the extent technically feasible; and
WHEREAS since 1995 Michigan taxpayers have been financially responsible for cleaning up sites that are
contaminated by corporate polluters; and
WHEREAS in 1998 Michigan voters overwhelmingly approved the Clean Michigan Initiative to pay for
cleanup of contaminated sites since corporations were no longer paying to address industrial pollution; and
WHEREAS while there has been a sharp increase of contaminated sites in Michigan, there has been a
major lack of investment towards cleaning up those sites; and
WHEREAS this is particularly disturbing in the case of water contamination; and
WHEREAS contaminated water does not just sit in one place – our water bodies are connected, and water
will always move downstream; and
WHEREAS currently, without joint several liability for owners of contaminated sites, state agencies must
meet an exceedingly high burden of proof in court to compel financial restitution from polluting entities; and
WHEREAS when a corporation pollutes a waterway, they should be fully responsible for cleanup; and
WHEREAS with our legal system, this process plays out over the course of years, while the contamination
goes unaddressed, or cleanup is paid for by taxpayers instead of the responsible party; and
WHEREAS Michigan entered 2020 with more than 70 active PFAS sites within the state, two sites are
located in Oakland County, including the recent case of hazardous liquid waste spill in the City of Madison
Heights; and
WHEREAS the current PFAS crisis, the Gelman 1,4 dioxane plume in Ann Arbor, and increasing algal
blooms in the Great Lakes from nutrient pollution are all warnings that we must do more to address water
pollution; and
WHEREAS Senate Bill 116 and House Bill 4212 would re-establish joint several liability for owners of
contaminated sites, requiring polluters to clean up contamination they cause, and the pollution be cleaned
up as much as technically feasible. Under current law, polluters can simply restrict access to a site or an
aquifer instead of treating or removing pollutants.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – REQUIRE RESTAURANT AND FOOD SAFETY INSPECTION
REPORTS TO BE POSTED ON SEARCHABLE ONLINE DAT ABASE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS restaurant and food safety inspections are a critical public health intervention for the prevention
of foodborne diseases, which are a burden on public health and contribute significantly to the cost of health
care; and
WHEREAS according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year, an estimated 1 in 6
Americans (or 48 million people) get sick from foodborne diseases with about half associated with
restaurant meals; and
WHEREAS each year foodborne diseases lead to 128,00 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths; and
WHEREAS they also present a major challenge to vulnerable groups of people like children younger than
age 5 or people older than age 65, who have reduced immunity and are at greater risk for hospitalization
and death from intestinal pathogens commonly transmitted through foods; and
WHEREAS the investigation of foodborne illnesses focuses agencies and the food industry on identifying
problems, initiating control activities, and improving practices; and
WHEREAS the Environmental Health Services (EHS), a unit within the Oakland County Health and Human
Services Department, administers a number of excellent programs to help protect health through the
promotion of environmentally sound practices; and
WHEREAS the Health Department’s Food Safety Program provides several services to ensure the proper
handling and distribution of food served to the general public. These services include conducting
inspections of restaurants, festival food booths, and mobile food vehicles, as well as conducting
investigations of foodborne illness complaints and outbreaks and food safety education; and
WHEREAS currently, the results of restaurant and food safety inspection reports are not easily accessible
to the public or members of the media. There is no information on the Oakland County Health Department
website regarding how to obtain a copy of a report. Reports can only be obtained by filing a request with
the Health Department; and
WHEREAS as local media reports have affirmed, Oakland County is the only local public health agency in
the southeast Michigan region that does not publish the results of restaurant and food safety inspection
reports online; and
WHEREAS the interest of improving transparency, public health and accountability will be served by
creating a searchable online database of restaurant and food safety inspection reports without further
unnecessary delay.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners establishes a
policy that updated restaurant and food safety inspection reports shall be posted online and updated on a
minimum bimonthly basis.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the policy requiring posting restaurant and food safety inspection reports
shall be effective 90 days following its adoption by the Board of Commissioners and approval by the County
Executive.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Health and Human Services Department and the Information
Technology Department are requested to develop a plan and budget within 30 days to create a searchable
and easily accessible online database of restaurant and food inspection reports.
Chairperson, we move adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - RECOGNITION OF JANUARY 9TH AS NATIO NAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT APPRECIATION DAY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (L.E.A.D.) was founded in 2015 to thank officers
across the country for all the daily sacrifices they make for their communities; and
WHEREAS there are almost 18,000 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in the United States;
and
WHEREAS it is important that all citizens know and understand the duties, responsibilities, hazards, and
sacrifices of their law enforcement officers; and
WHEREAS it is vital to show law enforcement support during times of difficulty in a profession that puts
their life on the line every day for the citizens safety and wellbeing in our communities; and
WHEREAS these officers never ask for recognition but clearly deserve it for the brave and heroic decisions
they must make each day; and
WHEREAS every day should be Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, because officers rarely know what
their days have in store for them.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners calls on all
citizens of Oakland County and on all patriotic, civic and educational organizations to observe January 9th
as National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day in which all people may join in commemorating law
enforcement officers, past and present, who, by their faithful and loyal devotion to their responsibilities,
have rendered a dedicated service to their communities and, in so doing, have established for themselves
an enviable and enduring reputation for preserving the rights and security of all citizens.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Oakland County Board of Commissioners encourages citizens to show
their support in a number of ways such as wearing blue clothing in support of law enforcement; sending a
card of support to local police departments; sharing a story about positive law enforcement experience on
social media; participating in Project Blue Light – proudly displaying a blue light in support of law
enforcement.
Chairperson, we move adoption of the foregoing resolution.
