McPherson Michelle Friedman Appel GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE Page 2 July 23, 2001 CENTRAL SERVICES – OAKLAND COUNTY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (OCIA) – 2001 GRANT PROGRAM ACCEPTANCE – LAND ACQUISITION This item was previously approved by the General Government Committee, as well as the Planning and Building Committee. The item was postponed by the Finance Committee to allow Mr. VanderVeen, who was not in attendance at that time, to speak to the possibility of using the Enterprise Fund for Airport Facilities Retained Earnings, ra ther than the General Fund, for the grant match. Mr. VanderVeen and Mr. Randall provided additional material to the Committee on the Airport’s grant projects and match appropriations for past years. From 1980 to 1995 total grant match appropriations were $4,767,500. This is a one-time land acquisition program and is expected to bring in millions of dollars in federal funds to acquire properties surrounding the OCIA. This grant, along with several others the Airport expects to receive, will provide up to $9,000,000 in grant funds this year, requiring an estimated total $1,000,000 match. This sum is more than is currently available in the Airport Grant Match line item. Mr. VanderVeen stated that he would prefer to use general fund dollars rather than Ai rport Facilities Enterprise Fund dollars, to maintain a healthy corpus for said Fund, particularly in lieu of the County’s having recently purchased a third airport facility. No action was required. This information will also be brought to the Plannin g and Building Committee. The Finance Committee is expected to make a final decision as to where these funds should come from on July 26.

It is necessary for the Board of Commissioners to approve plan implementation on an annual basis via resolution. Mr. McGuire reviewed the Agency’s Plan for this year. Two essential changes to the Plan include a pilot program to provide caregivers with out-of-home respite care by securing one bed within the region on a 365-days a year basis and a change to allow for reimbursement to aides who run errands without the client in their car.

REPORT ON FIDUCIARY CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE MICHIGAN FAMILY INDEPENDENCE AGENCY Dr. Gordon gave a brief explanation of the events having occurred following the Board’s approval of MR #01161 and MR #01162, both of which included contingency language to accept FY 2000 - 2001Child Protection/Community Partners and Strong Families/Safe Children grants based on the MFIA’s agreement to several fiduciary contract language changes. These changes would remove Oakland County’s liability for the financial and human service activities of its subcontractors in accordance with state law. The MFIA has refused to accept the requested language changes. As a result, those two staff people handling these programs have qualified for and have been transferred into two available positions in the Health Division and notification has been provided to the MFIA that the County will no longer be responsible for these programs.
