IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS — ENCOURAGING THE GOVERNOR AND STATE
LEGISLATURE TO USE COVID-19 RELIEF FUNDS TO SUPPLEMENT THE REVENUE SHORTFALL
IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2021 SECONDARY ROAD PATROL AND TRAFFIC ACCIDENT PREVENTION
PROGRAMS CAUSED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Secondary Road Patrol and Traffic Accident Prevention program was created by Public Act
416 of 1978; and
WHEREAS this state grant program, often referred to as the SRP or 416 Program, provides Michigan
county sheriffs' offices with funding to patrol county and local roads outside the limits of cities and villages;
and
WHEREAS in October 2020, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approved, via Miscellaneous
Resolution #20460, the Fiscal Year 2021 Secondary Road Patrol Grant award from the Michigan
Department of State Police - Office of Highway Safety Planning in the amount of $490,622 for the period
October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021; and
WHEREAS this is the 42nd year that the Oakland County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) has been awarded
Secondary Road Patrol and Traffic Accident Prevention Program Grant funding; and
WHEREAS OCSO has been notified of a supplemental appropriation of $167,488 which is pending Board
of Commissioner review and approval; and
WHEREAS despite the generous combined award amounts of $658,110, the grant award represents an
overall decrease of $230,085 from last year's funding; and
WHEREAS due to the decrease in funding, the FY 2021 OCSO SRP budget reflects reductions in staffing,
overtime, motor pool reimbursement for mileage, and no equipment; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Sheriff's Association suggests using federal COVID-19 Relief Funds to increase
the SRP program preventing fiscal hardship to the state general fund; and
WHEREAS this would be a one-time funding need, assuming that the OCSO approaches normal levels of
activities by FY 2022.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
encourages the Governor and State Legislature to use COVID-19 Relief Funds to supplement the revenue
shortfall in the Fiscal Year 2021 Secondary Road Patrol and Traffic Accident Prevention programs caused
by the COVID-19 pandemic.
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 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.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
