MR #09097 – BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – ENCOURAGING VOLUNTARY BOAT DISINFECTION STATIONS Commissioner Taub introduced this resolution , which reflects that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the voluntary system of establishing boat disinfection stations at boat launches to prevent the spread of t he Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia Virus and other pathogens. She indicated that boat owners should be encouraged to use a product called Virkon Aquatic to disinfect their boats before moving a boat from one body of water to another. Boat disinfection stati ons would have the product available on site for convenience . Virkon Aquatic is a disinfectant powder that is dissolved in water and applied by using a hand sprayer or brush. Gosselin moved to report to the full Board with the recommendation that the re solution be adopted. Supported by Jacobsen. Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote . 3. MR #09098 – BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – WATER RESOURCES COMMISSIONER – COUNTY PROTECTION AND ENFORCEMENT OF WETLANDS On February 3, 2009, in her State of the State address, Governor Granholm proposed to return enforcement of wetland protection to the federal government, thereby eliminating state oversight of Michigan’s wetlands. Commissioner Taub is seeking approval of a resolution that she introduced reflecting that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes the State of Michigan returning enforcement of wetland protection to the federal government. It further reflects that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the Oakland County Water Re sources initiative for a local regulatory approach that would create a “one -stop shop permitting” for landowners. Mr. McCulloch, Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner, was present to support this resolution, and he indicated that his office curren tly has environmental and inspection staff with the experience, training and skills that often overlap the State agents currently responsible for wetland mitigation and protection. He supports a local regulatory approach that would create a “one -stop shop permitting” for landowners. He had requested that copies of the resolution, once adopted, be sent to the Kent County Drain Commissioner, the Director of Wayne County Department of Environment and the Macomb County Public Works Commissioner as well. Runestad moved to report to the full Board with the recommendation that the resolution be adopted. Supported by Jacobsen. Schwartz moved to postpone consideration of this resolution until legislation at the State level is actually drafted. Supported by Bu rns.
