IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS —AFFIRMING SUPPORT FOR THE 2021 TRI-COUNTY SUMMIT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in the spirit of regional cooperation, County Commissioners from Oakland, Macomb and Wayne

goal of creating a forum wherein common issues were identified for cooperative action; and
WHEREAS the first Tri-County Summit was hosted by the Wayne County Commission, with subsequent hosting
duties rotating between each of the regional partners; and
WHEREAS topic areas of previously held Tri-County Summits have included mental health, criminal justice,
transportation/transit, economic development and the environment. Other study topics addressed were water
quality and regional quality of life. Specific issues have been addressed collaboratively such as home
foreclosures, green infrastructure implementation, reports on the region's economic outlook and the "Silver
Tsunami'; and

Tri-County Summit this year to provide a vehicle for meaningful conversation between the legislative bodies and
to identify potential solutions to common and complex issues facing our shared region; and

Study topics within the area of infrastructure, relevant to the Southeast Michigan region, will be identified, with the

solutions and shares best practices. Key leaders will be invited to attend and participate in this important endeavor.
