MR #09107 BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – AUTHORIZATION FOR LAW LIBRARY
COLLABORATION
Oakland County has been contacted by The Cooley Law School’s President and Dean Don LeDuc
to inquire whether the County would be interested in combining the Adams Pratt Law Library
Collection with Cooley’s library collection to be housed together at the Law S chool’s Auburn Hills
campus. A joint venture of this sort would maximize County facility space and at the same time
reduce the County’s financial obligations. This resolution requests authorization to proceed with
negotiations with Cooley Law School with a goal of providing enhanced public law library
services to the constituents and users of the Adams Pratt Collection.
Gingell moved the Human Resources Committee Report to the Board with the
recommendation MR #09107 be adopted. Supported by Hatchett.
Middleton moved to amend MR #09107 by adding a fourth BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED
paragraph: “BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that once a contractual agreement has been
negotiated, it will come through the appropriate committee process, including the Human Resources and Finance Committees for review and final recommendation to the Board of Commissioners.” Supported by Gosselin.
Motion to amend carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
Main motion as amended carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
MR #09109 COUNTY EXECUTIVE/ADMINISTRATION – TRANSFER OF EMERGENCY RESPONSE &
PREPAREDNESS UNIT TO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Oakland County’s emergency management functions are mandated by the Michigan Emergency
Management Act to provide for the coordination of all matters pertaining to emergency services,
disaster preparedness, and recovery assistance within the County. The Emergency Response and
Preparedness unit has several common activities involving areas within the Department of Health
and Human Services and transferring the unit to the Department of Health and Human Services
will lead to operational and organizational efficiencies. This resolution proposes to transfer the
Emergency Response & Preparedness Unit and retitle it the Homeland Security Division under the
Department of Health and Human Services. In addition the proposed transfer requests the
transfer of several positions and to retitle their classification. The current appointed position of
Administrator – ERP will be upwardly reclassified to Manager-Homeland Security. The transfer of
a function from one department to another requires a public hearing.
Gingell moved the Human Resources Committee Report to the Board with the
recommendation MR #09109 be adopted. Supported by Middleton.
Middleton moved to amend the third BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED paragraph Position 10520
from Business Analyst back to ERP Regional SAP (grade 08) as attached. Supported by
Capello.
Motion to amend carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
Main motion as amended carried unanimously on a roll call vote.
