Supply System (the "System") as described in the notice attached hereto
(sometimes referred to herein as the "Project"), in order to promote the health and
welfare of the residents served by the System, which water supply system
facilities also would benefit the County and its residents, and such facilities can
be financed most economically and efficiently by the County through the exercise
of the powers conferred by Act 34, Public Acts of Michigan, 2001, as amended
("Act 34"); and
WHEREAS the County is authorized pursuant to the terms of Act 34 to issue its
tax exempt bonds to finance the cost of the acquisition and construction of the
Project, which bonds will be secured by revenues of the System and the County's
full faith and credit pledge; and
WHEREAS it is anticipated that the County will advance all or a portion of the
costs of the Project prior to the issuance of the bonds, such advance to be repaid
from proceeds of the bonds upon the issuance thereof; and
WHEREAS Section 1.150-2 of the Treasury Regulations on Income Tax (the

allocation may be treated as an expenditure of bond proceeds, and the County
intends by this resolution to qualify amounts advanced by the County to the
Project for reimbursement from proceeds of the bonds in accordance with the
requirements of the Reimbursement Regulations.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED
1. DECLARATION OF INTENT TO REIMBURSE PROJECT

reimbursement for its advances to the Project as anticipated by this
resolution. The bonds shall be authorized by proper proceedings subsequent to
this resolution.

instructed to publish the notice attached hereto once in a newspaper of general

Registered Owner: Michigan Finance Authority
Principal Amount:
The County of Oakland, State of Michigan (the "County"), acknowledges itself
indebted to and for value received hereby promises to pay to the Registered Owner
identified above, or registered assigns, the Principal Amount or so much thereof as shall
have been advanced to the County pursuant to a Purchase Contract between the County
and the Michigan Finance Authority (the "Authority") and a Supplemental Agreement by
and among the County, the Authority and the State of Michigan acting through the
Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy on the maturity dates and in the
amounts set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, unless redeemed prior thereto as
hereinafter provided, the final payment to be made upon presentation and surrender of this
bond at the office of the County Treasurer, County of Oakland, State of Michigan, the
bond registrar and paying agent, or at such successor bond registrar and paying agent as
may be designated pursuant to the Resolution (as hereinafter defined), and to pay to the
Registered Owner, as shown on the registration books at the close of business on the 15th
day of the calendar month preceding the month in which an interest payment is due, by
check or draft mailed by the bond registrar and paying agent by first class mail postage
prepaid to the Registered Owner at the registered address, interest at the rate per annum
specified above on such Principal Amount, to the extent advanced to the County pursuant
to the Purchase Contract and the Supplemental Agreement and not forgiven pursuant to
the related Order of Approval issued by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great
Lakes and Energy, until the County's obligation with respect to the payment of such
Principal Amount is discharged. Interest is payable on the first day of _______ and
_________ in each year, commencing on ________ 1, 202_. Principal and interest are
payable in lawful money of the United States of America.
In the event of a default in the payment of principal or interest hereon when due,
whether at maturity, by redemption or otherwise, the amount of such default shall bear
interest (the "additional interest") at a rate equal to the rate of interest that is two percent
above the Authority's cost of providing funds (as determined by the Authority) to make
payment on the bonds of the Authority issued to provide funds to purchase this bond but
in no event in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted by law. The additional
interest shall continue to accrue until the Authority has been fully reimbursed for all costs
incurred by the Authority (as determined by the Authority) as a consequence of the
County's default. Such additional interest shall be payable on the interest payment date
following demand of the Authority. In the event that (for reasons other than the default in
the payment of any municipal obligation purchased by the Authority) the investment of
amounts in the reserve account established by the Authority for the bonds of the Authority
issued to provide funds to purchase this bond fails to provide sufficient available funds
(together with any other funds that may be made available for such purpose) to pay the
interest on outstanding bonds of the Authority issued to fund such account, the County
shall and hereby agrees to pay on demand only the County's pro rata share (as determined
by the Authority) of such deficiency as additional interest on this bond.
During the time funds are being drawn down by the County under this bond, the
Authority periodically will provide the County a statement showing the amount of
principal that has been advanced and the date of each advance, which statement shall
constitute prima facie evidence of the reported information; provided that no failure on
the part of the Authority to provide such a statement or to reflect a disbursement or the
correct amount of a disbursement shall relieve the County of its obligation to repay the
outstanding principal amount actually advanced, all accrued interest thereon, and any
other amount payable with respect thereto in accordance with the terms of this bond.
This bond is issued by the County under and pursuant to and in full conformity
with the Constitution and Statutes of Michigan (especially Act No. 34, Public Acts of
2001, as amended) and a bond authorizing resolution adopted by the Board of
Commissioners of the County (the "Resolution") and an order of the Water Resources
Commissioner of the County, as County Agency, for the purpose of defraying part of the
cost of acquiring, constructing, and installing water supply system facilities to improve
the County’s City of Pontiac Water Supply System (the "System").
The County has authorized the net revenues derived from users of the System to
be used to pay the principal of and interest on this bond when due. In addition, the
County has irrevocably pledged its full faith and credit for the prompt payment of the
principal of and interest on this bond as the same become due. In the event and to the
extent that the net revenues derived from users of the System are not sufficient to pay the
principal of and interest on this bond, such principal and interest are payable as a first
budget obligation of the County from its general funds. The ability of the County to raise
such funds is subject to applicable statutory and constitutional limitations on the taxing
power of the County. The amount of taxes necessary to pay the principal of and interest
on this bond, together with the taxes levied for the same year, shall not exceed the limit
authorized by law.
This bond is transferable, as provided in the Resolution, only upon the books of
the County kept for that purpose by the bond registrar and paying agent, upon the
surrender of this bond together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the
bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the Registered Owner or his attorney
duly authorized in writing. Upon the exchange or transfer of this bond a new bond or
bonds of any authorized denomination, in the same aggregate principal amount and of the
same interest rate and maturity, shall be authenticated and delivered to the transferee in
exchange therefor as provided in the Resolution, and upon payment of the charges, if any,
therein provided. Bonds so authenticated and delivered shall be in any denomination not
exceeding the aggregate principal amount for each maturity.
The bond registrar and paying agent shall not be required to transfer or exchange

8. PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST FUND. There shall be established for the Bonds a
Principal and Interest Fund which shall be accounted for separately and shall be used only
to retire the Bonds. From the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds there shall be set aside in
the Principal and Interest Fund any premium and accrued interest received from the
purchaser of the Bonds at the time of delivery of the Bonds. All payments made by the
County pursuant to section 11 hereof are pledged for payment of the principal of and
interest on the Bonds and expenses incidental thereto and as received shall be placed in
the Principal and Interest Fund to be used to pay the principal and interest on the Bonds.
9. CONSTRUCTION FUND. The remainder of the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds as
received from time to time shall be set aside in a construction fund and used solely to
defray the cost of acquisition, construction and installation of the Project. Any
unexpended balance of the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds remaining in the
construction fund after completion of the Project shall be deposited in the Principal and
Interest Fund established in section 8 hereof.
10. SALE, ISSUANCE, DELIVERY, TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF BONDS. The
Bonds shall be sold at a private, negotiated sale to the Authority, as authorized by Act
227. It is hereby determined that this method of sale is in the best interests of the County
and is calculated to provide the County with the lowest cost of borrowing money. The
sale shall be made pursuant to the terms and conditions to be set forth in a Purchase
Contract (the "Purchase Contract") and a Supplemental Agreement (the "Supplemental
Agreement"). The County Agency is authorized to execute and deliver the Supplemental
Agreement and the Purchase Contract in such forms as shall be approved by the County
Agency, with such approval to be evidenced by the County Agency's signature
thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, the Bonds shall be
initially sold to the Authority as one bond, numbered 1, in the full aggregate principal
amount of the Bonds. The County Agency is authorized to execute one or more written
orders (i) containing the determinations that the County Agency is authorized to make as
provided in this Resolution and (ii) making such changes in the provisions of the Bonds
or this Resolution to comply with the requirements of the Authority or otherwise to enable
the Bonds to be sold to the Authority. In addition, the Chairperson of the Board of
Commissioners, the Clerk, the Treasurer, the County Agency and other County
employees and officials are authorized to execute and deliver to the Authority the Issuer's
Certificate and any such certificates and documents as the Authority or bond counsel shall
require and to do all other things necessary to effectuate the sale, issuance, delivery,
transfer and exchange of the Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution.
11. SECURITY. The net revenues derived from the users of the System have previously
been pledged for the payment of principal and interest on the County's City of Pontiac
Water Supply System Bond, Series 2016A, the City of Pontiac Water Supply System
Bond, Series 2015A, City of Pontiac Water Supply System Bond, Series 2015B, the City
of Pontiac Water Supply System Improvements Bonds, Series 2014 and the City of
Pontiac's Water Supply System Revenue Bonds, Series 2010 (collectively, the "Prior
Bonds"), in accordance with the provisions of the City of Pontiac Water Supply System
Contract dated as of April 19, 2012 between the County and the City of Pontiac, and are
pledged for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds on a parity basis
with the Prior Bonds. The Bonds shall also be limited tax general obligations of the
County. The full faith and credit of the County are pledged for the prompt payment of
the principal of and interest on the Bonds as the same shall become due. Each year the
County shall be obligated, as a first budget obligation, to advance moneys from its general
funds or to levy ad valorem property taxes on all taxable property within its corporate
boundaries to pay such principal and interest as the same become due in the event and to
the extent that the net revenues derived from the users of the System are not sufficient to
make such payment. The ability of the County to raise funds to pay such amounts is
subject to applicable constitutional and statutory limitations on the taxing power of the
County. Nothing in this section 11 shall preclude the County from issuing revenue bonds
pursuant to Act 94, Public Acts of Michigan, 1933, as amended, or additional bonds
pursuant to Act 34 to pay the costs of further improvements to the System and pledging
the net revenues derived from the users of the System for the payment of such bonds on a
parity basis with the Prior Bonds and the Bonds.
12. ESTIMATES OF PERIOD OF USEFULNESS AND COST. The estimated period of
usefulness of the Project is hereby determined to be not less than thirty (30) years and
upwards, and the plans for and estimated cost of the Project in the amount of not less than
$5,000,000 are hereby approved and adopted.
13. EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF BONDS. Any Bond, at the option of the
registered owner thereof and upon surrender thereof to the bond registrar and paying
agent with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying
agent duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney, may be
exchanged for Bonds of any other authorized denominations of the same aggregate
principal amount and maturity date and bearing the same rate of interest as the
surrendered Bond. Each Bond shall be transferable only upon the books of the County,
which shall be kept for that purpose by the bond registrar and paying agent, upon
surrender of such Bond together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the
bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the registered owner or his duly
authorized attorney.
Upon the exchange or transfer of any Bond, the bond registrar and paying agent on
behalf of the County shall cancel the surrendered Bond and shall authenticate and deliver
to the transferee a new Bond or Bonds of any authorized denomination of the same
aggregate principal amount and maturity date and bearing the same rate of interest as the
surrendered Bond. If, at the time the bond registrar and paying agent authenticates and
delivers a new Bond pursuant to this section, payment of interest on the Bond is in
default, the bond registrar and paying agent shall endorse upon the new Bond the
following: "Payment of interest on this bond is in default. The last date to which interest
has been paid is (insert applicable date)."
The County and the bond registrar and paying agent may deem and treat the person in
whose name any Bond shall be registered upon the books of the County as the absolute
owner of such Bond, whether such Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of
receiving payment of the principal of and interest on such Bond and for all other
purposes, and all payments made to any such registered owner, or upon his order, in
accordance with the provisions of section 3 of this Resolution shall be valid and effectual
to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so
paid, and neither the County nor the bond registrar and paying agent shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary. The County agrees to indemnify and save the bond registrar
and paying agent harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, charge, expense,
judgment or liability incurred by it, acting in good faith and without negligence
hereunder, in so treating such registered owner.
For every exchange or transfer of Bonds, the County or the bond registrar and paying
agent may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental
charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer, which sum or sums
shall be paid by the person requesting such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent
to the exercise of the privilege of making such exchange or transfer.
The bond registrar and paying agent shall not be required to transfer or exchange Bonds
or portions of Bonds which have been selected for redemption.
14. TAX COVENANT. The Bonds are not expected to be issued as bonds the interest
on which is excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes (“Tax-Exempt
Bonds”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). If any of the
Bonds are issued as Tax-Exempt Bonds, the County covenants to comply with all
requirements of the Code necessary to assure that the interest on the Bonds will be and
will remain excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The County
Agency, the County Treasurer, the County Clerk and other appropriate County officials
are authorized to do all things necessary to assure that the interest on the Bonds will be
and will remain excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes.
15. DEFEASANCE. In the event cash or direct obligations of the United States or
obligations the principal of and interest on which are guaranteed by the United States, or a
combination thereof, the principal of and interest on which, without reinvestment, come
due at times and in amounts sufficient to pay, at maturity or irrevocable call for earlier
optional redemption, the principal of and interest on a series of the Bonds, shall have been
deposited in trust, this Resolution shall be defeased and the owners of such series of
Bonds shall have no further rights under this Resolution except to receive payment of the
principal of and interest on such series of Bonds from the cash or securities deposited in
trust and the interest and gains thereon and to transfer and exchange such series of Bonds
as provided herein.
16. REPLACEMENT OF BONDS. Upon receipt by the County Treasurer of proof of
ownership of an unmatured Bond, of satisfactory evidence that the Bond has been lost,
apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken and of security or indemnity which complies
with applicable law and is satisfactory to the County Treasurer, the County Treasurer may
authorize the bond registrar and paying agent to deliver a new executed Bond to replace
the Bond lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken in compliance with applicable
law. In the event an outstanding matured Bond is lost, apparently destroyed or
wrongfully taken, the County Treasurer may authorize the bond registrar and paying
agent to pay the Bond without presentation upon the receipt of the same documentation
required for the delivery of a replacement Bond. The Bond registrar and paying agent,
for each new Bond delivered or paid without presentation as provided above, shall require
the payment of expenses, including counsel fees, which may be incurred by the bond
registrar and paying agent and the County in the premises. Any Bond delivered pursuant
the provisions of this section in lieu of any Bond lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully
taken shall be of the same form and tenor and be secured in the same manner as the Bond
in substitution for which such bond was delivered.
17. APPROVAL OF MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY – EXCEPTION
FROM PRIOR APPROVAL. The issuance and sale of the Bonds shall be subject to the
County obtaining qualified status or prior approval from the Department of Treasury of
the State of Michigan pursuant to Act 34, Public Acts of Michigan, 2001, as amended
("Act 34"), and, if necessary, the County Treasurer and County Agency are each hereby
authorized and directed to make application to the Department of Treasury for approval to
issue and sell the Bonds as provided by the terms of this Resolution and by Act 34. The
County Treasurer and County Agency are authorized to pay any filing fees required in
connection with obtaining qualified status or prior approval from the Department of
Treasury. The County Treasurer and County Agency are further authorized to request
such waivers of the requirements of the Department of Treasury or Act 34 as necessary or
desirable in connection with the sale of the Bonds.

as they are in conflict herewith, are rescinded.

in Oakland County as March 7 - 11, 2022
Penny Luebs moved to adopt the attached Resolution: Recognizing School
Breakfast Week in Oakland County as March 7 - 11, 2022. Seconded by Charles
Cavell.
Motion Passed.
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #22-064
Sponsored By: David Woodward
IN RE: Recognizing School Breakfast Week in Oakland County as March 7 -
11, 2022
WHEREAS began as a pilot in 1966, today 14 million students in America receive
a nutritious breakfast each day through the School Breakfast Program; and
WHEREAS in 1975, the School Breakfast Program received permanent
authorization from Congress, which declared its intent that the program “be made
available in all schools where it is needed to provide adequate nutrition for
children in attendance” with priority consideration for those schools with a special
need to improve the nutrition and dietary practices of children from low-income
families; and
WHEREAS studies show serving children breakfast at school significantly
improves their cognitive or mental abilities, enabling them to be more alert, have
an ability to maintain a healthy weight, and achieve proficiency on standardized
test scores; and
WHEREAS research shows the simple act of eating school breakfast can
dramatically change a child’s life, resulting in higher test scores, calmer
classrooms, fewer trips to the nurse, and better attendance and graduation rates;
and
WHEREAS breakfast consumption is also associated with other healthy lifestyle
factors, and a University of Michigan study found children who do not consume
breakfast are more likely to be less physically active and have a lower cardio
respiratory fitness level than those students who exhibit habitual school-day
breakfast consumption; and
WHEREAS children who receive breakfast at school avoid chronic absenteeism,
experience fewer health problems associated with hunger, such as dizziness,
lethargy, stomachaches and ear aches, and perform significantly better than their
peers who do not receive breakfast at school in terms of cooperation, discipline
and inter-personal behaviors; and
WHEREAS the School Breakfast Program has potential long-term economic
benefits such as students who attend class on a regular basis are 20% more
likely to graduate from high school. In addition, high school graduates typically
earn $10,000 more per year and enjoy a 4% higher employment rate; and
WHEREAS a study sponsored by the United States Department of Agriculture
Economic Research Service found that elementary school-age students are more
likely to participate in the School Breakfast Program when they come from lower

IN RE: Support for Human Trafficking House Bills 4091 - 4113 and 4214 -
4215
WHEREAS in February of 2021, a bipartisan package of new legislation, House
Bills 4091-4113 and 4114-4215, were introduced by state lawmakers on human
trafficking - a crime against humanity that violates the most basic human rights,
and victims suffer a horrible injustice; and
WHEREAS the human trafficking bills, recommended by the Michigan Human
Trafficking Commission, are aimed to strengthen tools to hold traffickers
accountable, to expand protections for victims of trafficking, to fundamentally alter
the criminal justice system’s approach to commercial sexual activity, otherwise
known as prostitution, and expand training standards to various licensed
professionals; and
WHEREAS to hold traffickers accountable, the proposed legislation will amend
expert testimony for human trafficking cases, expand statutory immunity for
compelled testimony to the human trafficking chapter, and to include human
trafficking in propensity evidence expansion; and
WHEREAS recommendations in the proposed legislation include expanding
protections for the victims of trafficking that include expanded minor rebuttable
presumption, provisions for the expansion of adult and juvenile human trafficking
victim expungement in HB 4091 and HB 4093, and HB 4092 provides an
affirmative defense for victims of trafficking; and
WHEREAS recognizing the inescapable overlap between sex trafficking and
prostitution the proposed legislation includes over a dozen proposals that
fundamentally alter the criminal justice system’s approach to prostitution by
replacing the term “prostitution” throughout Michigan law with the defined term:
commercial sexual activity and to define in the human trafficking chapter as “a
sex act provided in exchange for something of value”; and
WHEREAS in addition, numerous bills relate to the expansion of mandated
training on human trafficking for various licensed professionals that include
commercial drivers, educators and educational-based counselors, and
cosmetologists; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Attorney General stated that by adopting “these policies
in our laws to protect survivors and help meet their intense needs, we can break
the cycle of silence demonstrating to traffickers their tactics will no longer prove
successful and may encourage victims to safety come forward and report
traffickers, which is the strongest evidence to hold traffickers responsible”; and
WHEREAS Oakland County remains unrelenting in its efforts to end the
exploitation and injustice suffered by victims and through a collaborative effort
offer services to support the victims of human trafficking.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby supports House Bills 4091 - 4113 and 4114 - 4215 and
urges the prioritization of rights for human trafficking victims and to strengthen the
means for prosecutors to hold traffickers and exploiters accountable.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds
is requested to forward copies of the adopted resolution to the House Judiciary
Committee, the Michigan Human Trafficking Commission, the State House
Speaker and Minority leader, the members of the Oakland County delegation to
the Michigan Legislature, Sheriff Michael Bouchard, and the Board of
Commissioner's legislative lobbyist.
