Motion Passed.
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #22-212
Sponsored By: William Miller III
IN RE: Assigning American Rescue Plan Act - Local Fiscal Recovery
Funds for Northwest Oakland Sanitary Drain Drainage District Phase I
WHEREAS the United States Treasury allocated Oakland County $244,270,949
of Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (LFRF) established under the American Rescue
Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021; and
WHEREAS under the guidance of the Final Rule, the County may use these
funds at its discretion to support eligible investments in public health
expenditures, address negative economic impacts caused by a public health
emergency; replace lost public sector revenue; provide premium pay for
essential workers; and invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure;
and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner (“WRC”) has
conducted conceptual studies regarding the protection of the environment and
the provision of sanitary sewer service to serve certain areas located within the
Village of Ortonville and within the Townships of Groveland, Holly, and Brandon
(collectively the Oakland County “Communities”) through an extension of
service from Genesee County; and
WHEREAS the Communities have petitioned for the creation of a
county drainage district formed under Chapter 20 of Act No. 40 of the Public
Acts of Michigan of 1956, as amended (“Drain Code”), to conduct a feasibility
study to extend sanitary sewer service from the Oakland County border with
Genesee County to serve certain areas within the Communities, negotiation of
an agreement with Genesee County to determine the feasibility of providing
additional capacity consisting of the extension of services to the Oakland
County border with Genesee County, an exploration of, and request for,
applicable grants and other funding sources (the “Project”); and
WHEREAS the Project is expected to be named the Northwest Oakland
Sanitary Drain Drainage District (the “District”). The District is to be comprised of
the Communities pursuant to an expected Final Order of Determination as
required by the Drain Code; and
WHEREAS the Project is planned to consist of three phases:
1. Phase One involves the construction of a $33 million sanitary sewer by
Genesee County that will provide pipe capacity for Oakland County. The
construction cost allocation is based on each participant’s share of sewage flow.
Genesee County is allocated approximately $10 million based on expected
flow. The cost allocation to the District based on expected sewer flow is $23
million. The District requests an initial $10 million to acquire permanent
capacity in the sewer. The remaining $13 million will be financed by the District.
2. Phase Two involves the construction of a sewer extension along Dixie
Highway and Grange Hall Road at an estimated cost of $49 million.
3. Phase Three involves the construction of a sewer extension along
Perryville Road at an estimated cost of $59 million; and
WHEREAS the WRC, through its contracted engineer, produced a report which
shows the clear need for the Project; and
WHEREAS the Project promotes the public health, safety, and welfare by
reducing the environmental dangers of failing septic systems and further
promotes the appropriate treatment of sanitary sewage from homes, buildings,
and schools in the Communities; and
WHEREAS the Project promotes the protection of the environment in Oakland
County, especially its lakes, streams, and headwaters of the Flint River
Watershed through elimination of failing septic systems; and
WHEREAS Phase One of the Project will allow the District to acquire capacity
in the Genesee County sewer system known as the Kearsley Creek Interceptor
to allow future phases of construction to serve the Communities; and
WHEREAS Genesee County intends to proceed with the design of the Project
in June 2022 to allow for the construction of the first phase of the project to
begin in 2023; and
WHEREAS the District is responsible for an initial payment of $10 million at the
time of the construction award to be matched with an additional $13 million
financed by the District; and
WHEREAS the District, and not Oakland County, will pay any other costs
associated with Phase I, and the cost of Phase II and Phase III, which will be
apportioned by the District to the Communities as may be petitioned under the
Drain Code; and
WHEREAS American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”) funding is appropriate to
spend on the allocated cost because sewer infrastructure is a designated use of
ARPA funding.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby assigns $10,000,000 in ARPA funds for future
appropriation to the proposed District to match the $13,000,000 financed by the
District to further the Project and acquire the needed sanitary sewer capacity.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the appropriation by the Board of
Commissioners and subsequent release of funds for the Project is contingent
on the execution of an agreement between Genesee County and the District for
the sewer capacity.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Water Resources Commissioner shall
seek and apply for any other appropriate sources of federal and state funds that
could be utilized to offset some or all of the $10,000,000 in Oakland County
ARPA-funded costs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the use of ARPA – Local Recovery Funds
shall not obligate a commitment of Oakland County’s General Fund; the District
shall meet all federal, state, and local legal requirements, Oakland County
policies and procedures, and Department of Treasury guidelines for the eligible
expenditure of ARPA – Local Recovery Funds.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that no budget amendment is required at this
time as a separate resolution will be brought forward in the future for the
appropriation of ARPA - Local Recovery Funds.

families and forced to submit to slavery for more than 200 years after arrival in
the United States; and
WHEREAS Juneteenth commemorates the day freedom was proclaimed to all
slaves in the south by Union General Granger, on June 19, 1865, in Galveston,
Texas, more than two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation

origin, share in a common love of and respect for freedom, as well as a
determination to protect their right to freedom through democratic institutions by

can be used to highlight the significance of the end of the era of slavery in the

IN RE: Declaring June 20, 2022, as World Refugee Day in Oakland County
WHEREAS more than 70 million displaced people have been forced from their
homes, more than any time in recorded history, including over 25 million
refugees; and
WHEREAS by definition, refugees are people who have fled their country
because they have a well-founded fear of persecution because of their race,
religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group;
and
WHEREAS to be considered for resettlement, a refugee must first receive a
refugee status determination by the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR)
by proving they are fleeing persecution based on their ethnicity, nationality,
religion, political opinion, or social group. UNHCR then refers refugees to one of
37 resettlement countries, one of which is the United States; and
WHEREAS since the creation of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, the
United States has set an average admissions goal of 95,000 annually; and
WHEREAS however, in 2018, the United States resettled less than half of the
then-historic low refugee admissions goal of 45,000. In 2019, only 30,000
refugees were resettled; and
WHEREAS last year, due to an even lower resettlement ceiling -- 18,000 -- and
a temporary halt to the resettlement program due to travel restrictions under
COVID-19, only 7,450 refugees have been resettled in the United States so far;
and
WHEREAS resettlement provides a safe haven in a third country when
refugees cannot return home and cannot rebuild their lives in the country where
they first fled due to lack of access to safety, shelter, health care, education, or
protection; and
WHEREAS unfortunately, refugee resettlement is a lifesaving program available
only to less than 1% of refugees; and
WHEREAS resettlement to the U.S. is available only for those who demonstrate
the greatest and most immediate need for protection – such as unaccompanied
and other at-risk children, female-headed households, victims of torture, the
physically disabled, and members of minority groups that are experiencing
oppression in the host country (for example, religious minorities or LGBTI
individuals) – and takes place after eligible refugees undergo a rigorous
selection, security vetting, and medical screening process; and
WHEREAS Oakland County is home to a diverse population of refugees and
immigrants, adding to the economic strength and cultural richness of our
community; and
WHEREAS organizations responsible for resettling refugees in our community,
as well as numerous other community organizations and religious institutions,
have declared their support for resettling refugees in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has been an example of a hospitable and
welcoming place to all newcomers, where the contributions of all are celebrated
and valued; and
WHEREAS cities across the United States have declared themselves to be
welcoming to refugees and immigrants, joining a national movement for creating
an inclusive community; and
WHEREAS residents of Oakland County aspire to live up to our highest societal
values of acceptance and equality, and treat newcomers with decency and
respect, creating a vibrant community for all to live in.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners is hereby recognizing the growing diversity of its residents and
acknowledges that refugees, immigrants, and all newcomers enhance the
culture and the economy by declaring June 20, 2022, as World Refugee Day.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners affirms the beauty and richness of our diversity, and one in
which all are welcome, accepted, and appreciated.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby urges other local and state communities to join us in a
stronger national effort to resettle the most vulnerable refugees worldwide and
help them integrate and thrive.

and
WHEREAS the effects of elder abuse - the physical, sexual, emotional, or
financial - places elderly victims at a high risk for premature death; and
WHEREAS the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) states elders who
experience abuse had a 300% higher risk of death when compared to those
who had not been abused; and
WHEREAS the abuse experienced by older adults is life-changing and affects
their psychological, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being and leaves the
victim feeling there is nowhere to turn; and
WHEREAS the annual financial loss by victims of elder financial exploitation

IN RE: Opposing the Imposition of Highland Park's Water and Sewer Debt
on Oakland County Communities
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners seeks to ensure
Oakland County residents and businesses provided municipal water and sewer
services are charged rates that are fair, just, reasonable, and consistent with
their usage of those services; and
WHEREAS Oakland County communities receive water services from the Great
Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) and all Oakland County communities are paying
members in good standing with GLWA; and
WHEREAS the State of Michigan has a direct role in GLWA providing water
services to the City of Highland Park; and
WHEREAS the State of Michigan requested then Detroit Water and Sewerage
Department (DWSD), now GLWA, to provide emergency water services to the
City of Highland Park because the State of Michigan determined Highland
Park's water treatment plant was creating a public health risk to its residents;
and
WHEREAS on November 12, 2012, the State of Michigan stated the repairs to
the water treatment plant were to be completed in 3-4 days; but neither the
State of Michigan or the City of Highland Park repaired the water treatment
plant, and it remains shuttered to this day; and
WHEREAS the City of Highland Park has paid less than 1% of their water
services charges since 2012; and
WHEREAS since 2012, the City of Highland Park has accumulated
$54,233,700 in debt to GLWA for both water and sewer services. Should their
payment pattern continue, this debt will rise to $60,977,600 by the end of FY
2023; and
WHEREAS the City of Highland Park's debt has now been allocated by the
GLWA to the GLWA subsidiary authority member communities, including
Oakland County; and
WHEREAS when Highland Park does not pay, the costs are borne by the other
member partner communities receiving GLWA’s sewer services. By the end of
the current fiscal year, Highland Park’s sewer services arrearages will exceed
$42,859,400 if no payments are made. If this pattern continues, the arrearages
will exceed $48,346,000 by the end of FY 2023; and
WHEREAS the City of Highland Park’s continued non-payment of charges and
accumulated arrearages will force Oakland County and its communities to pay
respective charges, of significant funds that these communities need for
services and investment.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby requests the State of Michigan and the Great Lakes
Water Authority do not require Oakland County and the 86 other paying
member communities to pay for the City of Highland Park's debt to GLWA.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby requests the State of Michigan become directly involved
in resolving this dispute.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners calls on the State of Michigan to create a system in which debts
of non-paying water and sewer customers can no longer be charged to paying
customers.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners expresses its support to Oakland County communities in their
efforts to resolve this situation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk is requested to
forward a copy of this resolution to the Governor of the State of Michigan, the
Oakland County delegation to the State Legislature, the Chairman of the Great

Appropriating American Rescue Plan Act – Local Fiscal Recovery Funds for the
Healthy Food Access Initiative. Seconded by Michael Gingell.
Motion Passed.
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #22-247
Sponsored By: Penny Luebs
IN RE: Appropriating American Rescue Plan Act – Local Fiscal Recovery
Funds for the Healthy Food Access Initiative
WHEREAS the United States Treasury allocated Oakland County $244,270,949
of Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (LFRF) established under the American Rescue
Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021; and
WHEREAS under the initial guidance of the Final Rule, the County may use
these funds at their discretion to support eligible investments in public health
expenditures, address negative economic impacts caused by the public health
emergency; replace lost public sector revenue; provide premium pay for
essential workers; and invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure;
and
WHEREAS the Healthy Food Access Initiative Grants, on a limited, one-time
funded basis, will provide Oakland County providers of emergency healthy food
with funding to meet the greater food costs they are experiencing at this
time. People with low incomes have been disproportionately impacted by
COVID-19 and are also more likely to experience food insecurity; and
WHEREAS this grant would provide $1,700,000 to Oakland County partners
that provide healthy emergency food. Lighthouse of Oakland County, the largest
provider of emergency healthy food, will receive $350,000 in a funding grant.
Oakland Hope is the largest choice pantry in Oakland County and would receive
$1,000,000. Further, the remaining $350,000 will be used for a grant program
administered by the Health and Human Services Department in conjunction with
the Pontiac Community Foundation. Only educational institutions and nonprofit
food assistance organizations with an operating budget under 20 million dollars
would be eligible for this grant; and
WHEREAS these grants will be given out to providers of emergency healthy
food to purchase the food purchasing capability, which has been greatly
affected by increasing food costs from COVID; the food at home price index
increased by 4.3% and food prices have not returned to pre-pandemic levels,
and these rising costs impact consumers and emergency food providers who
purchased food wholesale. This funding allows providers to purchase additional
food and residents to continue receiving healthy food to supplement federal
benefits that are not meeting their monthly requirements; and
WHEREAS the Health and Human Services Department would be the lead
organization and would partner with the Pontiac Community Foundation to offer
providers of emergency healthy food grants up to $50,000; and
WHEREAS the partnering organization, the Pontiac Community Foundation,
would administer the distribution of the grant, collection and review of grant
applications, outreach to all corners of the County, and provide
recommendations to the Health and Human Services Department.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes an appropriation of $700,000 in American Rescue
Plan Act - Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to the Health and Human Services
Department to provide Oakland County community food partners with funding to
meet the greater food costs they are experiencing at this time.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners authorizes an
appropriation of $1,000,000 in American Rescue Plan Act - Local Fiscal
Recovery Funds to the Health and Human Services Department to allow
Oakland Hope to make capital improvements to their current facility which assist
with emergency healthy food.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if the Oakland Hope's current facility is sold
within 10 years of receiving $1,000,000 County financial support, all funds shall
be returned to the county. An exception to the reimbursement of funds back to
the County shall be contingent upon approval of the purchasing non-profit
agency by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Director of Health and Human Services
Department shall act as contract administrator and shall be authorized to enter
into a contract for services for program administration with Lighthouse of
Oakland County, Oakland Hope, and the Pontiac Community Foundation,
subject to review by the Purchasing Division and Corporation Counsel.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the quarterly reports detailing expenditures
and success metrics for the Emergency Food Grant shall be forwarded to the
Public Health and Safety Committee.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of the appropriations of American
Rescue Plan Act – Local Fiscal Recovery Funds for programs and services by
Oakland County shall not obligate a commitment of the General Fund unless
authorized by action of the Board of Commissioners.

to come together and experience a sense of community through recreational
pursuits while also offering a welcome respite from fast-paced, high-tech
lifestyles; and
WHEREAS parks and recreation promotes time spent in nature, which
positively impacts mental health and increases cognitive performance and well-
being; and
WHEREAS parks, playgrounds, trails, beaches, nature centers and open
spaces make communities more attractive and desirable places to live, work,
play and visit, which contributes to their ongoing economic health and
resiliency; and
WHEREAS the many programs, services and educational opportunities that
parks and recreation professionals provide are vital for our communities
because they protect natural resources, help people of all ages to live healthier,
more active lives and support the physical, emotional and social well-being of
our residents and visitors; and

parks.

IN RE: Recognizing July 2022 as Minority Mental Health Awareness Month
in Oakland County
WHEREAS July was designated, by U.S. Congress, as Minority Mental Health Awareness
Month in 2008 to bring awareness to the unique struggles that underrepresented groups
face regarding mental illness in the United States; and
WHEREAS in July, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) launches
outreach programs to disseminate health information and education material designed for
minority sectors of the population, including Hispanics, Blacks, Asian/Pacific Islanders, as
well as Native Americans; and
WHEREAS the purpose of the national Minority Mental Health Awareness Month is to
ensure that useful information and technical assistance are available for patient education
in response to minority population requirements, particularly those in special care services
like school, medical, community-based and worksite locations; and
WHEREAS it is also an opportunity for initiating discussions with minority and nonminority
health experts, organizations, state and local governments, academic institutions, and other
entities from private and public sectors in coming up with means and ways of improving
availability and accessibility of health professionals to minority populations; and
WHEREAS mental illness affects approximately one in five American families, and people
in diverse populations are no exception; and
WHEREAS nearly two-thirds of people with a diagnosable mental illness do not seek
treatment, and racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. are even less likely to get help; and
WHEREAS the term 'minority' is traditionally associated with racial, ethnic, or cultural
minorities; and
WHEREAS the Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN) also embraces individuals
who have been marginalized and underserved in the community, including those who may
identify as part of the LGBTQ+ spectrum. Diversity and inclusion, according to OCHN,
create a stigma-free environment; and
WHEREAS there are many issues that affect minority members' mental health, such as
deep-seated systemic racism and injustice affecting societal treatment towards minorities,
as well as racial disparities in the mental health system that can discourage some from
getting the care they need; and
WHEREAS anyone can experience the challenges of mental illness regardless of their
background. However, background and identity can make access to mental health
treatment much more difficult; and
WHEREAS according to the U.S. DHHS, minorities are less likely to receive diagnosis and
treatment for their mental illness, have less access to mental health services and often
receive a poorer quality of mental health care; and
WHEREAS it is vital to bring awareness towards minority mental health, especially with the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests that have caused a
heightened emotional and mental toll; and
WHEREAS as efforts to fix these issues continue to gain momentum, the need for
awareness and to address the minority mental health issues are crucial.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
hereby recognizes July 2022 as Minority Mental Health Awareness Month in Oakland
County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges
Oakland County residents to learn more about how mental health is perceived and
addressed among minority groups.

d.Board of Commissioners - Resolution Encouraging the Governor and
Michigan Legislature to Significantly Increase the State Earned Income
Tax Credit
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #22-254
Sponsored By: David Woodward, Robert Hoffman
IN RE: Encouraging the Governor and Michigan Legislature to
Significantly Increase the State Earned Income Tax Credit
WHEREAS the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) was enacted in 1975
to provide tax relief for low and moderate-income households with work-related
sources of income; and
WHEREAS it is a refundable credit against taxes on income earned, meaning
that under certain circumstances, the EITC can result in a net contribution to
household income; and
WHEREAS the EITC is a proven anti-poverty tool, lifting 5.6 million people,
more than half of whom are children, out of poverty nationwide; and
WHEREAS Michigan, along with 28 other states and the District of Columbia,
enhances the federal EITC with a state credit; and
WHEREAS Michigan’s state EITC, with strong bipartisan support, previously sat
at 20% of the federal EITC until it was dramatically reduced to 6% in 2011; and
WHEREAS in tax year 2019, about 738,380 working Michigan families
benefited from the state EITC; and
WHEREAS in 2019, about 56,420 families in Oakland County benefited from
the state EITC; and
WHEREAS in 2019, about $7.47 million was put back into Oakland County’s
local economy by virtue of the state EITC; and
WHEREAS every $1 brought into a community through the EITC generates
$1.67 in economic activity; and
WHEREAS the EITC positively impacts small businesses and strengthens local
economies by increasing household spending power and helping lower-and-
moderate-income workers afford basic needs; and
WHEREAS according to the MSU Center for Economic Analysis and the
Product Center 2019 analysis, the EITC benefits urban, suburban, and rural
residents alike; and
WHEREAS the EITC also drives improved educational outcomes for children
and ultimately increases the chances of students being able to attend and/or
afford college; and
WHEREAS even before COVID-19’s negative impact on the state’s economy,
far too many working residents were struggling to cover the basic cost of living
with 1 in 6 Michiganders - and 1 in 5 Michigan children - living in poverty and,
according to the ALICE Report, 38% of households in the state, the vast
majority of whom are working, are struggling to afford a basic monthly budget;
and
WHEREAS leaders from across the political spectrum from President Ronald
Reagan to President Barrack Obama have been strong supporters of the EITC
for the many benefits identified above; and
WHEREAS at 6%, Michigan’s current EITC is one of the weakest in the nation;
and
WHEREAS in the last year, both Democratic and Republican leaders in
Michigan have expressed support for a significant increase to the state’s EITC,
including Senator Wayne Schmidt (R-Traverse City) who has introduced a bill to
increase the EITC to 30% of the federal, and Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D)
who listed an EITC increase as a priority in her 2022 State of the State address;
and
WHEREAS twelve Chambers of Commerce throughout the state, including the
Detroit Regional Chamber, along with a wide variety of community stakeholders
including the Small Business Association of Michigan, Oakland University,
Michigan Nonprofit Association, and Michigan Association of United Ways are
actively encouraging a significant increase to the state’s EITC; and
WHEREAS for all the reasons listed above, an increased EITC would provide
clear, immediate and tangible benefits to Oakland County residents and
businesses.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners calls upon the Governor and members of the Michigan
Legislature to include a substantial increase in Michigan’s Earned Income Tax
Credit in the FY 22/23 state budget.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds
is requested to forward copies of this adopted resolution to all Oakland County
cities, villages, and townships, the Governor of the State of Michigan, the
members of the Michigan congressional delegation, the State Senate Majority
and Minority leaders, the State House Speaker and Minority leader, and the
members of the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature.
The Chairperson referred the resolution to the Legislative Affairs and
Government Operations Committee. There were no objections.

And Eats Festival in Partnership with the City of Royal Oak
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #22-255
Sponsored By: Michael Gingell, David Woodward
IN RE: Sponsorship of 2022 Arts, Beats And Eats Festival in Partnership
with the City of Royal Oak
WHEREAS Arts, Beats & Eats was founded in 1997 to celebrate the quality of
life in Oakland County by offering a culturally unique presentation of artists,
musicians and food exhibits, from the Metro Detroit area and throughout the
United States; and
WHEREAS Arts, Beats & Eats is held annually on Labor Day weekend in the
City of Royal Oak; and
WHEREAS Arts, Beats & Eats has a strong history of drawing significant
economic activity and interest to Oakland County, with as many as 400,000
people attending the four-day festival and raising more than $5 million for local
charities since its inception. The economic impact of the festival to the region
has been measured at $39 million, according to the event’s website; and
WHEREAS Oakland County government has a long history of active support of
the Arts, Beats and Eats festival, including partnering through sponsorship of
the event; and
WHEREAS a dollar-for-dollar matching sponsorship of Royal Oak of the 2022
Arts, Beats and Eats festival would leverage Oakland County’s funds for a
strong investment towards attracting economic and cultural activity in Oakland
County as well as measurably support the travel, tourism and hospitality
sectors.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the final amount of this expenditure will be a
dollar-for-dollar match, equal to the amount of funds expended by the City of
Royal Oak for sponsorship of the 2022 Arts, Beats and Eats Festival.

shall act as the grant administrator for the matching sponsorship of the Arts,
Beats and Eats festival. The Department shall release sponsorship funding
