To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Declaration of Independence defined the United States of America as a democracy based
on the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and government by the consent of the
people; and the 14th Amendment instilled equality of the races into the US Constitution; and
WHEREAS all people are equal, with certain inalienable rights including the right to equal protection under
the law; and
WHEREAS recent events on the national stage demand that people and communities of conscience speak
out in defense of, and reaffirm their commitment to, these most basic values; and
WHEREAS our nation was built on an economy based on the enslavement of Africans and Black
Americans, and has yet to heal the scars left by the hypocrisy, brutality, and psychological trauma of that
abhorrent institution; and
WHEREAS the racism used to justify and reinforce that perverse system remains a pervasive presence
across American culture and permeates our governmental, economic and educational institutions; and
WHEREAS the murder of George Floyd is only the most recent horrific example of the breathtaking injustice
which persists due to our continued failure to address systemic racism in our country; and
WHEREAS black, brown and indigenous people face police violence, prosecution and incarceration in
disproportionate numbers; and
WHEREAS in the 21st Century, there are people in America who continue to live in fear of losing their lives
at the hands of law enforcement or members of white supremacist groups; and
WHEREAS across the nation and in our own county, African Americans and many other people of color
must persevere daily against the barriers and indignities put upon them by systemic bias and racism; and
WHEREAS we all have a duty to speak out for the civil rights of all our brothers and sisters; and
WHEREAS demanding justice is not an altruistic or sympathetic act, but rather a moral imperative which
serves to defend the freedom of all, for as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stated “Injustice anywhere is a threat
to justice everywhere.”
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners stands in unity
with the millions of individuals and conscientious organizations across the nations demanding justice for
George Floyd and meaningful action to address structural inequality and s ystemic racism.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports and encourages
those lifting their voices in peaceful protest.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners pledges itself to growing
stronger by being proactive in seeking to heal the racial scars we have inherited and taking action toward
real systemic change.
Chairperson, we move adoption of the foregoing resolution.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #20219
BY: Commissioners David T. Woodward, District #19; Nancy Quarles, District #17; Penny Luebs, District
#16; Gary McGillivray, District #20
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERSS – OAKLAND COUNTY DECLARES BLACK LIVES MATTER
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS generations of racial stigma and indoctrination has produced systemic bias ingrained in the
American psyche where, too often, black men, women and children are erroneously perceived as threats;
and
WHEREAS on February 26, 2012, Trayvon Martin – a teenager with his whole life ahead of him – was
going about his day when he was murdered by George Zimmerman; and
WHEREAS Trayvon Martin’s death sparked a movement – the Black Lives Matter movement; and
WHEREAS on May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a black man, was killed in a shocking display of police
misconduct after he was taken into custody on suspicion of a minor charge; and
WHEREAS this unprovoked and intentional act of violence represents a complete disregard for the dignity
and sanctity of human life; and
WHEREAS the actions of those officers were a disgrace to the law enforcement community, and were so
horrific and egregious that they have galvanized the will of people across the United States of America, the
World, and all across Oakland County to confront issues of racial discrimination, inequality, and misconduct
by those in authority, and
WHEREAS this act of violence and other similar acts that have occurred across this country in recent years
must serve as call to action and mobilization for change to end systemic racism; and
WHEREAS targeted violence against persons of color and other minority groups will not stop until we all
stand up and refuse to tolerate such conduct, and
WHEREAS it is incumbent upon every person in this country to take a stand against racism, discrimination,
misconduct, and violence, and send a clear message that those behaviors have no place in a civilized
society; and
WHEREAS the Black Lives Matter movement has gained powerful traction in conjunction with recent tragic
events and bringing needed attention to the major flaws in our criminal justice system and institutionalized
racism that disproportionally target the black community and other communities of color; and
WHEREAS the killing of unarmed black men and women leaves us searching for answers to incredibly
infuriating questions; and
WHEREAS the fight for civil rights and equality is as real today as it was decades ago; and
WHEREAS slavery, racism and racial discord have stained American history from its earliest days and this
legacy continues to manifest today in mistrust between minority communities and law enforcement; and
WHEREAS throughout our nation's history, institutional and structural racism, and injustice have led to
deepening racial disparities across all sectors of society and have lasting negative consequences for our
communities, cities, and nation; and
WHEREAS shouting loudly that "Black Lives Matter" does not negate our commitment to ALL persons, but
rather elevates the struggle of persons of color to trust that our society values them. We must affirm that
their lives, specifically, matter; and
WHEREAS we must continue to support the Black Lives Matter movement; and
WHEREAS this is a pivotal moment in the history of our nation and the grievances expressed herein must
no longer be dismissed; and
WHEREAS any return to normality must also be accompanied with action and by a renewed commitment
to further civil rights and achieve social justice.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Oakland County Board of Commissioners declares Black
Lives Matters.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Oakland County Board of Commissioners joins with America in sharing
our exhaustion, disbelief, sorrow, and anger at these acts of violence and the underlying causes, and we
proclaim to stand in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 2, 2020

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners hereby commits to our community that our
county as an organization does not and will not tolerate, nor accept in any way, the violent or disrespectful
treatment of others that degrades dignity or disregard for human life.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners calls upon our community to join us in
committing ourselves as public servants and citizens to take mindful steps to fight such actions of violence
and disrespect by actively evaluating existing bias, being nontolerant of degrading comments and actions,
validating the experiences and feelings of people of color, and taking positive action to advance equality in
America.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

challenges for communities that lack adequate election infrastructure including high speed tabulators, staff

cannot “split their ticket” thus resulting in a high number of spoiled ballots in the August Primary election;

WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners formed the Oakland County Safe, Healthy and
Secure Election Advisory Council to identify challenges and barriers for having safe, healthy and secure
elections in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic; and

for voter education and outreach; and
WHEREAS funds are available from the CARES Act’s Coronavirus Relief Fund to cover the costs
associated with a postcard mailing to voters who have requested an absentee ballot as well as other digital

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #20249
BY: Commissioner Janet Jackson, District #21
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – RECOGNIZES JULY AS MINORITY MENTAL HEALTH
AWARENESS MONTH IN OAKLAND COUNTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS July was designated, by U.S. Congress, as Minority Mental Health Awareness Month in 2008
to bring awareness to the unique struggles that underrepresented groups face regarding mental illness in
the United States; and
WHEREAS in July, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) launches outreach
programs to disseminate health information and education material designed for minority sectors of the
population, including Hispanics, Blacks, Asian/Pacific Islanders, as well as Native Americans; and
WHEREAS the purpose of the national minority mental health awareness month is to ensure that useful
information and technical assistance are available for patient education in response to minority population
requirements, particularly those in special care services like school, medical, community-based and
worksite locations; and
WHEREAS it is also an opportunity for initiating discussions with minority and nonminority health experts,
organizations, state and local governments, academic institutions and other entities from private and public
sectors in coming up with means and ways of improving availability and accessibility of health professionals
to minority populations; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. July 2, 2020
433
WHEREAS mental illness affects approximately one in five American families and people in diverse
populations are no exception; and
WHEREAS but nearly two-thirds of people with a diagnosable mental illness do not seek treatment, and
racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. are even less likely to get help; and
WHEREAS the term ‘minority’ is traditionally associated with racial, ethnic, or cultural minorities; and
WHEREAS but Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN) also embraces individuals who have been
marginalized and underserved in the community, including those who may identify as part of the LGBTQ+
spectrum. Diversity and inclusion, according to OCHN, create a stigma free environment; and
WHEREAS there are many issues that affects minority members’ mental health, such as deep-seated
systemic racism and injustice affecting societal treatment towards minorities as well as racial disparities in
the mental health system that can discourage some from getting the care they need; and
WHEREAS anyone can experience the challenges of mental illness regardless of their background.
However, background and identity can make access to mental health treatment much more difficult; and
WHEREAS according to the U.S. DHHS, minorities are less likely to receive diagnosis and treatment for
their mental illness, have less access to mental health services and often receive a poorer quality of mental
health care; and
WHEREAS it is vital to bring awareness towards minority mental health, as the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests have caused a heightened emotional and mental toll; and
WHEREAS as the work to fix these issues continue to gain momentum, the need to bring awareness and
address the minority mental health issues will be crucial.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
recognizes July as Minority Mental Health Awareness Month in Oakland County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges Oakland County
residents to learn more about how mental health is perceived and addressed among minority groups.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
