In order to reduce crime, a pilot program was launched with the Pontiac Police Department in October 2004. This program was successful, as it allowed public access to things such as public maps that detailed crime activities on a district-by-district basis (throughout Pontiac). It also established a template for police departments to publish an internal (department-only) Web site, as well as a Web site that would serve as a secure/password -protected site for all CLEMIS police departments to use, called COPLink.

PARKS AND RECREATION – ADDRESSING CONCERNS REGARDING GOVERNMENT-OWNED GOLF COURSES COMPETING WITH PRIVATELY-OWNED GOLF COURSES At the September 27, 2004 General Government Committee meeting, Tom Schwark, owner, Sycamore Hills Golf Club, a resident of Rochester, expressed his concerns about government-owned golf courses competing with private-owned golf courses. There was a request for Ralph Richards to come to a future General Government Committee meeting to address these concerns. Mr. Richards submitted a memo with information on the history of the five County-owned golf courses and the manner in which the courses were obtained. The report also contains a list of golf courses in Oakland County showing how many are public, private and government-owned and which ones were sold. Springfield Oaks was donated to the Oakland County Parks in 1966. White Lake Oaks was purchased in 1970 from owners who were in financial danger of losing the golf course. Red Oaks was developed in 1976 through a combined effort with the Oakland County Drain Commission to take an open pit drain and provide another recreation activity in the highly -populated southeast section of Oakland County. Glen Oaks was purchased from the Moslem Temple, A.A.O.N.M.S. in 1978. It was run down and under consideration for development into condominiums or other housing. The community wanted Oakland County to save the green space, preserve the historic banquet center and keep the golf course, which Parks & Recreation did. The land was acquired in 1992, and the golf course was opened in 2001, after a planning session with residents and Parks Commissioners to help the 1,000 -acre site become self-sustaining. These parks are open all year for golf and winter cross - country skiing. Some of the revenues from these golf courses go right back to the Oakland County communities. Chairperson Patterson allowed the public to speak on this topic . Several owners of private golf courses were present and expressed their concerns about Oakland County golf courses being too competitive with them, threatening to put them out of business. Webster moved to receive and file the Oakland County Golf Courses Informational Update from Ralph Richard. Supported by Kowall. Motion carried on a voice vote. MEETING RECESSED AT 4:05 P.M. MEETING RESUMED AT 4:21 P.M. 13. RADIO PROJECT – FINANCIAL ISSUES Mr. Daddow was asked to come to General Government a nd give a presentation on the Radio Project at a previous meeting. Mr. Daddow submitted a detailed memo on the financial status of the Radio Project. He stated that one of the principles that came from the May 26, 2004 cash flow projection was that they needed a survey of public safety agencies’ needs for mobiles, portables and control stations. A survey was conducted, and GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE Page 9 November 8, 2004 he included it in the document he submitted. He stated that tomorrow, Tuesday, November 9, 2004, the survey will be discussed at the Radio Oversight Committee meeting. A subcommittee was established to identify just how many radios will be allocated to the police and fire agencies, and that will be done between the police, fire and EMS over the next 60 to 90 days. He stated that the number that is included in the cost projection was overstated. He said that the cost of the towers are way above what we were projecting here, particularly as it related to co -locations, in the case of leasing facilities. Frequency interference issues are causing delays. Mr. Daddow anticipates an approved frequency in the next 90 days from the City of Detroit. Knollenberg moved to receive and file the October 18, 2004 Memo from Mr. Daddow titled, “Radio Project – Financial Status/Issues. Supported by Kowall. Motion carried on a voice vote. 14.

MR #04316 – COUNTY EXECUTIVE – EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND PREPAREDNESS – REPRESENTATION CONCERNS ON THE URBAN AREA SECURITY INITIATIVE (UASI) FUNDING FORMULAS AND GEOGRAPHIC URBAN AREA DETERMINIATION The resolution reflects that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners objects to the current definition of Urban Area, which is only inclusive of Wayne County and the City of Detroit. Oakland County, as well as other contiguous counties in Southeast Michigan, should be included in the determination of the Urban Area for Emergency Response and Preparedness representation. Oakland County should receive appropriate and proportionate Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) funding in accordance with their respective populations, critical infrastructure and identified threats, risks and vulnerability assessments.

Resolution failed due to a lack of a motion and support. 18. MR #04315 – BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – HEALTH DEPARTMENT NURSES ON CALL PROGRAM – ABORTION PROVIDERS REFERRAL ASSISTANCE The resolution reflects that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners directs the Oakland County Health Department to cease directing callers or visitors to abortion - providing organizations. The resolution also requires a written policy by the Oakland County Health Department to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners stating that this GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE Page 11 November 8, 2004 practice is prohibited. Resolution failed due to a lack of a motion and support. 19. SHERIFF’S OFFICE & HUMAN SERVICES/HEALTH DIVISION – FY 2005 JAIL ALLIANCE WITH SUPPORT FOR INMATES WITH CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS GRANT ACCEPTANCE The Michigan Department of Community Health awarded Oakland County $291,910 in grant funding for the period of October 1, 2004 through Septemb er 30, 2005, which includes a County match of $72,978.
