5. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICES/COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS – DRUNK

proposed comprehensive plan prepared by their advisory board. The application is an
amendment to an existing comprehensive plan, which needs Board approval.

approval of the request of $570,038 from the State Office of Community Corrections for
the purpose of initiating a program for OUIL III offenders.
Zack moved approval of the attached suggested resolution. Supported by
Douglas.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
7. UPDATE ON PSAPS – ORGANIZATION, GOVERNANCE AND POLICY
MATTERS
Mr. Daddow submitted a handout to the committee members on Public Safety
Answering Point (PSAP) Centralization Business Issues – Status, and he gave a brief
review of this information. He mentioned that there are 31 PSAPs in Oakland County.
He gave a brief history of how the PSAP concept originated. In 2000 a study was
conducted, and 13 police departments participated in this study. In October 2001 , the
PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE Page 4
January 13, 2004
results of the study reflected an annual saving for the communities of about $5000. At
this time there was a great deal of interest by police departments to participate in one
centralized PSAP for Oakland County. The next step was to find a facili ty to house the
PSAP. Oakland County placed a bid on one facility, but it was not accepted. In the
summer of 2002, 20 police agencies out of 31 petitioned Oakland County to launch the
PSAP program. Currently, only five (5) agencies are interested in lau nching this
program, including the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department. The project is now on
hold because there is not enough interest to make it financially feasible to purchase a
facility to house a centralized PSAP.
Douglas moved to receive and file the information. Supported by Kowall.
Motion carried on a voice vote.

Homeland Security and the needs of Oakland County. A State Planning Team (SPT) was
