Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approved Miscellaneous Resolution #20187 on
June 4, 2020, establishing the "Oakland Together Local Government Partnership' program for the purpose of
distributing grant funding to Oakland County local governments for eligible expenses authorized for CARES
Act Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF), and
WHEREAS the guidance provided by the U.S. Department of Treasury on the May 28, 2020 memorandum,
"Coronavirus Relief Funds, Frequently Asked Questions", states that a government entity receiving relief funds
may transfer funds to another local government entity, provided that the transfer qualifies as a necessary
expenditure due to the public health emergency; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Uniform Budgeting and Accounting Act, Act 2 of 1968, includes within the list of
definitions of "local units of governments", "the board county road commissioners of a county"; and

COVID-19 public health emergency in excess of $1.6 million; and
WHEREAS the reimbursement of the expenses incurred by the Road Commission for Oakland County renews
Oakland County's long-standing partnership with the RCOC and the relief of these unanticipated costs would
direct severely limited resources to their intended purpose of investment in local road improvements and
repairs; and
