Seconded by Michael Gingell. Motion Passed. 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.

Board of Commissioners - Resolution Appropriating American Rescue Plan Act – Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to create the Crisis Intervention Training Pilot Program in Partnership with Oakland Community Health Network MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #22-266 Sponsored By: Gwen Markham IN RE: Appropriating American Rescue Plan Act – Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to create the Crisis Intervention Training Pilot Program in Partnership with Oakland Community Health Network 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 Department of Treasury’s 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 COVID 19 prevented opportunities for residents to participate in safe social and recreational interaction and activities. It contributed to extreme isolation at times and a movement to technology-based communication and interaction. The lack of normal social interaction and recreation impacted the mental health of the residents in Oakland County. It contributed to self- medicating in the way of substances, domestic violence, and suicide. This has ultimately led to an increase in mental health related calls to law enforcement, who were already seeing an increase of mental health related calls prior to Covid 19 as well; and WHEREAS Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) is an innovative first-responder model of police-based crisis intervention training to help persons with mental disorders and/or addictions access medical treatment rather than place them in the criminal justice system due to illness related behaviors. It also promotes officer safety and the safety of the individual in crisis; and WHEREAS CIT provides the foundation necessary to promote community solutions to assist individuals with a mental illness and/or addictions. The CIT Model reduces both stigma and the need for further involvement with the criminal justice system. CIT provides a forum for effective problem solving regarding the interaction between the criminal justice and mental health care system and creates the context for sustainable change; and WHEREAS Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN) is in the unique position as a county-wide public mental health system, to provide training, support, and expertise to any/all law enforcement/public safety entities as they seek to develop new approaches to citizens in crisis; and WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners seeks to appropriate $500,000 of American Rescue Plan Act – Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to establish a Crisis Intervention Training Pilot Program in partnership with OCHN to be funded for the pilot period, ending December 31, 2024. The Pilot Program will serve to provide law enforcement and mental health professionals the opportunity and means to work in conjunction with each other to tackle the impact of a post COVID-19 environment on mental health. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approves the creation of a Crisis Intervention Training Pilot Program and authorizes an appropriation in the amount not-to-exceed $500,000 of American Rescue Plan Act - Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to be allocated as follows:  $320,000 to fund expanding Oakland County's Crisis Intervention Training Program, for the pilot period ending December 31, 2024, in partnership with Oakland Community Health Network.  $100,000 to fund a reimbursement grant, administered by Oakland Community Health Network, to local law enforcement agencies allowing access to training and education for the Oakland County Crisis Intervention Training Pilot Program.  $80,000 to fund a reimbursement grant, administered by Oakland Community Health Network, for County personnel and local law enforcement agencies to achieve the CIT program professional certification through CIT International. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners, or designee, shall act as contract administrator for the Crisis Intervention Training Pilot Program and shall be authorized to enter into a contract for services for program administration with Oakland Community Health Network, subject to review by the Purchasing Division and Corporation Counsel. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a quarterly report shall be forwarded to the Finance Committee by Oakland Community Health Network detailing expenditures and grant funded metrics for the Crisis Intervention Training Pilot Program. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that approval of 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. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the FY 2022 budget shall be amended as reflected in the attached Schedule A – Budget Amendment.

Board of Commissioners - Resolution Supporting Senate Bill 117 and House Bill 4902 to Help Michigan Businesses and Workers Procure Contracts With the State of Michigan MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #22-267 Sponsored By: Janet Jackson IN RE: Supporting Senate Bill 117 and House Bill 4902 to Help Michigan Businesses and Workers Procure Contracts With the State of Michigan WHEREAS Michigan businesses were hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic; and WHEREAS supporting Michigan-headquartered businesses and job creators is more important than ever to sustain the economic growth in our state; and WHEREAS with over $16 billion on a yearly basis dedicated to procurement of goods and services through the Department of Technology, Management, and Budget (DTMB), this legislation will be critical to address the need of ensuring more Michigan-based companies are awarded state contracts; and WHEREAS the proposed legislation gives Michigan headquartered companies a 7-day window to resubmit a bid for a state contract if the lowest bidder on the contract is an out-of-state company. If the Michigan-headquartered company re- bids and the bid is lower than the out of state company’s original bid, then the Michigan company would get the contract; and WHEREAS this legislation would prioritize those dollars going to Michigan- based companies, giving companies an added incentive to submit bids for state contracts and a higher probability of them being successful bids for the delivery of goods and services while keeping the existing “responsive and responsible best value bidder” safeguards set by the DTMB; and WHEREAS if adopted, this bipartisan effort would ensure retaining more tax dollars within our state, invest in Michigan headquartered and operated companies, and place an emphasis on companies that may have traditionally been overlooked; and WHEREAS recently, the neighboring State of Ohio, enacted a law (ORC 123:5- 1-06) with language similar to Michigan legislation. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners support Senate Bill 117 and House Bills 4902 which would help Michigan businesses and workers procure contracts with the state of Michigan . BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Speaker of the House of Representatives, the House Democratic Leader, Majority Leader of the Senate, Senate Democratic Leader, the Oakland County state legislative delegation.

The City of Pontiac is the community with the highest number of Qualified Census Tracts in Oakland County; and WHEREAS Oakland County Sheriff's Office is requested to add one (1) Patrol Investigator position for one (1) year from August 1, 2022 to August 31, 2023 in the School District of the City of Pontiac.
