Cavell, Marcia Gershenson, Penny Luebs
WHEREAS October is National Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Awareness Month to raise awareness of ADHD, to improve the lives of the
millions of children and adults in the United States living with ADHD and to ensure
reliable resources and information based on research and scientific evidence
are provided to support individuals and families; and
WHEREAS ADHD affects both children and adults, it is a persistent pattern of
inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that interferes with functioning or
development, such as the ability of an individual to regulate activity level, inhibit
behavior, and attend to tasks in developmentally appropriate ways; and
WHEREAS ADHD, the most extensively studied mental disorder in children,
affects an estimated 6 million children and an estimated 11 million adults across
racial, ethnic, and socio-economic lines; and
WHEREAS for children without a diagnosis, ADHD causes them to have trouble
paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors, being overly active, and have
difficulty at school, home, or with friends; and
WHEREAS adults undiagnosed and untreated for ADHD can lead to significant
problems with education, social and family situations, relationships, employment,
self-esteem, and emotional health; and
WHEREAS despite the serious consequences that can be apparent in the family
and life experiences of an individual with ADHD, studies indicate that at least 5
and 7 percent of the adult population in the U.S. adults has ADHD, do not know
they have it and if left untreated, leads to other problems; and
WHEREAS current research shows that genetics plays an important role and
scientific studies are evaluating other causes and risk factors including brain
injury, environmental exposure (e.g., lead) during pregnancy or at a young age,
alcohol and tobacco use during pregnancy, premature delivery, and low birth
weight; and
WHEREAS the lack of public knowledge and understanding of the disorder plays
a significant role in the overwhelming numbers of undiagnosed and untreated
cases of ADHD, and the dissemination of inaccurate, misleading information
contributes as an obstacle for diagnosis and treatment; and
WHEREAS the Surgeon General, the American Medical Association, the
American Psychiatric Association, the American Academy of Child and
Adolescent Psychiatry, the American Psychological Association, the American
Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the
National Institutes of Mental Health, among others, recognize the need for proper
diagnosis, education, and treatment of ADHD; and
WHEREAS studies by the National Institute of Mental Health and others
consistently reveal that through proper comprehensive diagnosis and treatment,
the symptoms of ADHD can be substantially decreased, and one’s quality of life
can be improved; and
WHEREAS it is essential to continually consider ways to improve access and the
quality of mental health services dedicated to improving the quality of life of
children and adults with ADHD, as well as their families; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners encourages all
Americans to find out more about ADHD, to support ADHD mental health
services, and seek the appropriate treatment and support, if necessary.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners designates October 2022 as National Attention
Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Awareness Month in Oakland County and
encourages our citizens, governmental agencies, businesses, and schools to
observe the day with appropriate programs and activities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds

WHEREAS Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) evolved from the "Day
of Unity" held in October 1981 and was conceived by the National Coalition
Against Domestic Violence (NCADV); and
WHEREAS the intent was to foster unity among survivors and advocates from
across the country; and
WHEREAS in October 1987, the first Domestic Violence Awareness Month was
observed. That same year marks the initiation of the first national domestic
violence toll-free hotline; and
WHEREAS domestic violence takes place in our nation every minute of every
day, occurring just about every 15 seconds; and
WHEREAS under current Michigan law, domestic violence is defined as a pattern
of behavior in which an individual uses physical, sexual, emotional, psychological,
or economic abuse to control another person; and
WHEREAS other acts of domestic violence include yelling, humiliation, stalking,
manipulation, coercion, threats, isolation, stealing a paycheck, online stalking,
non-stop texting, consistent use of the silent treatment or insults; and
WHEREAS domestic violence affects millions, both women and men, of every
race, religion, culture, and status; and
WHEREAS statistics show that one in three women and one in four men have
been victims of some form of physical and emotional abuse by an intimate partner
within their lifetime; and
WHEREAS in Michigan, one in three families are impacted by domestic violence;
and
WHEREAS in April 2020, domestic violence cases surged during the COVID-19
shutdown with 208 cases that were presented to the Oakland County Prosecutors
office. Isolated living conditions during the shutdown, for those dealing with
abuse, made it more difficult for them to seek help; and
WHEREAS in the last 30 years, the overall rate of domestic violence dropped
nearly two-thirds and state laws have addressed issues such as dating abuse in
the workplace, stalking, employment discrimination and more; and
WHEREAS unfortunately, many instances of domestic violence remain
unreported due to numerous barriers, including the stigma that still surrounds and
prevents survivors from coming forward; and
WHEREAS we must work together to bring awareness, to educate society about
what can be done to prevent domestic violence, to support the individual and
unique needs of survivors, and to ensure that survivors are not re-victimized.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners declares October 2022 as Domestic Violence Awareness
Month in Oakland County and strongly supports the efforts of national, state,
and local partners, as well as every citizen, to actively engage in public and
private efforts to prevent domestic violence.

2022 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Oakland County.

WHEREAS in 1985, the American Cancer Society established Breast Cancer
Awareness Month to promote mammography as the most effective weapon in the
fight against breast cancer; and
WHEREAS 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast
cancer in her lifetime; and
WHEREAS breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women,
except for skin cancers. It is estimated that in 2022, approximately 30% of all new
cancer diagnoses in women will be breast cancer; and
WHEREAS there are several types of breast cancer—divided into non-invasive
and invasive —which can be diagnosed at different stages of development and
can grow at different rates; and
WHEREAS in 2022, an estimated 287,850 new cases of invasive breast cancer
were diagnosed in women in the U.S. as well as 51,400 new cases of non-
invasive breast cancer; and
WHEREAS on average, every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast
cancer in the U.S. and in 2021, it was estimated that 43,600 women will die from
breast cancer; and
WHEREAS although rare, an estimated 2,710 men will be diagnosed with breast
cancer this year in the U.S. and approximately 530 will die; and
WHEREAS if cancer is detected at an early stage, it can be treated before it
spreads to other parts of the body. And, while the exact cause of breast cancer
is not fully understood, there are many factors, including age and family medical
history, that increase the likelihood of developing it; and
WHEREAS 65 percent of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at a localized stage
(there is no sign that the cancer has spread outside of the breast), for which the
5-year survival rate is 99%; and
WHEREAS in recent years, perhaps coinciding with the decline in prescriptive
hormone replacement therapy after menopause, we have seen a gradual
reduction in female breast cancer incidence rates among women aged 50 and
older; and
WHEREAS since 1990, death rates from breast cancer have been declining in
part due to better screening, early detection, increased awareness, and the
continuous improvement in treatment options; and
WHEREAS with the advancement in detection and treatment, there are over 3.5
million breast cancer survivors in the United States.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners honors breast cancer patients, survivors, and their families and
recognizes October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Oakland County to
promote awareness and research for a cure.

October 2022 as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Oakland County.

sufficient enough to finance increased appropriations. The
Board of Commissioners may make a supplemental
appropriation by increasing the dollar amount of an
appropriation item in the original general appropriations
measure or by adding additional items. At the same time the
estimated amount from the source of revenue to which the
increase in revenue may be attributed shall be increased, or
other source and amount added in a sum sufficient to equal the
supplemental expenditure amount. In no case may such
appropriations cause total estimated expenditures, including an
accrued deficit, to exceed total estimated revenues, including
an unappropriated surplus.
24. Whenever it appears to the County Executive or the Board of
Commissioners that actual and probable revenues in any fund will be
less than the estimated revenues upon which appropriations from such
fund were based, the County Executive shall present to the Board of
Commissioners recommendations which, if adopted, will prevent
expenditures from exceeding available revenues for the current fiscal
year. Such recommendations shall include proposals for reducing
appropriations, increasing revenues, or both. After receiving the
recommendations of the County Executive for bringing appropriations
into balance with estimated revenues, the Board of Commissioners shall
amend the general appropriations measure to reduce appropriations or
shall approve such measures necessary to provide revenues sufficient to
equal appropriations, or both.
25. All appropriations are annual and the unexpended portion shall lapse at
year-end. Encumbrances and appropriations carried forward shall be
recorded as an assigned fund balance, and the subsequent year's
budget amended to provide authority to complete these transactions.

into the budget year following the year in which they were originally
appropriated. A status report on Appropriations Carried Forward, as
required by Miscellaneous Resolution #93156, will be incorporated as an

excess of the amount authorized, (2) apply or divert money of the County
for purposes inconsistent with those specified in this general
appropriations measure as approved and amended by the Board of
Commissioners, nor (3) forgive a debt or write off an account receivable

be invoked for all amounts in excess of $1,000; transactions of a lesser
amount shall be considered within the administrative authority of the
Fiscal Officer or his/her designee. Application of the foregoing Short Sale
policy may be invoked to allow the County to consider less than the
balance owed on an Oakland County home improvement loan in a
proposed sale of property, unless prohibited by Federal Regulations, as
determined by the Manager of the Oakland County Neighborhood and
Housing Development (formerly Community Home and Improvement)
Division or his/her designee. Furthermore, the Fiscal Services Division

Resolution #2022-1968 _ 22-296
MR #22296
Resolution Support for Michigan Senate Bill 58 and House Bill 4314 -
Holding Polluters Accountable
Sponsored By: Gwen Markham, David Woodward, Gary McGillivray, Kristen
Nelson, Yolanda Smith Charles, Penny Luebs, Marcia Gershenson, Janet
Jackson
WHEREAS from 1990 until 1995, Michigan had the strongest "polluter pay" law
in the country; and
WHEREAS if a corporation was responsible for contaminating Michigan land,
air, or water, that corporation was also responsible for paying to clean up the
contamination to the extent technically feasible; and
WHEREAS since 1995 Michigan taxpayers have been financially responsible
for cleaning up sites that are contaminated by corporate polluters; and
WHEREAS in 1998 Michigan voters overwhelmingly approved the Clean
Michigan Initiative to pay for cleanup of contaminated sites since corporations
were no longer paying to address industrial pollutions; and
WHEREAS while there has been a sharp increase of contaminated sites in
Michigan, there has been a major lack of investment towards cleaning up those
sites; and
WHEREAS this is particularly disturbing in the case of water contamination; and
WHEREAS contaminated water does not just sit in one place - our water bodies
are connected, and water will always move downstream; and
WHEREAS currently, without joint several liability for owners of contaminated
sites, state agencies must meet an exceedingly high burden of proof in court to
compel financial restitution from polluting entities; and
WHEREAS when a corporation pollutes a waterway, they should be fully
responsible for cleanup; and
WHEREAS with our legal system, this process plays out over the course of
years, while the contamination goes unaddressed, or cleanup is paid for by
taxpayers instead of the responsible party; and
WHEREAS Michigan entered 2020 with more than 70 active PFAS sites within
the state, two sites are located in Oakland County, including the case of the
hazardous liquid waste spill in the City of Madison Heights; and
WHEREAS the current PFAS crisis, the Gelman 1,4 dioxane plume in Ann
Arbor, and increasing algal blooms in the Great Lakes from nutrient pollution
are all warning that we must do more to address water pollution; and
WHEREAS with over 24,000 contaminated sites across Michigan, this issue
could not be more urgent; and
WHEREAS when a polluter contaminates our water and environment, they - not
the taxpayers of Michigan - should be required to clean it up; and
WHEREAS in July 2022, Tribar Manufacturing, located in Wixom, Michigan,
negligently discharged toxic chemicals into the Huron River in Oakland County,
that endangered public health, hurting local businesses and harming our water
tenement; and
WHEREAS Senate Bill 58 and House Bill 4314 would re-establish joint several
liability for owners of contaminated sites, requiring polluters to clean up
contamination they cause, and the pollution be cleaned up as much as
technically feasible. Under current law, polluters can simply restrict access to a
site or an aquifer instead of treating or removing pollutants.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners calls for hearings to be held, and the legislature to adopt SB 58
and HB 4314.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners directs our county lobbyist to support all efforts to get SB 58
and HB 4314 passed into law, and communicate the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners' support for this legislation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds
is requested to forward copies of the adopted resolution to the Governor of the
State of Michigan, the Secretary of State of the State of Michigan, the Attorney
General of the State of Michigan, 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.

Peoples’ Day
Sponsored By: William Miller III, Charles Cavell, Marcia Gershenson, Janet
Jackson, Penny Luebs, Gwen Markham, Gary McGillivray, Kristen Nelson,
David Woodward, Yolanda Smith Charles, Angela Powell
WHEREAS the idea of Indigenous Peoples’ Day was first proposed in 1977 by
a delegation of Native Nations to the United Nations-sponsored International
Conference on Discrimination Against Indigenous Populations in the Americas;
and
WHEREAS in 1990, representatives from 120 Indigenous Nations at the First
Continental Conference on 500 Years of Indian Resistance unanimously
passed a resolution to transform Columbus Day into an opportunity to reveal
historical truths about pre-existing indigenous cultures that have survived an
often-violent colonization process which continues to exist and thrive in present
day America; and
WHEREAS the United States endorsed the United Nations Declaration on the
Rights of Indigenous Peoples on December 16, 2010, and Article 15 of that
declaration states:
Indigenous peoples have the right to the dignity and diversity of their
cultures, traditions, histories, and aspirations, which shall be
appropriately reflected in education and public information.
States should take effective measures, in consultation and cooperation
with the indigenous peoples concerned, to combat prejudice and
eliminate discrimination and to promote tolerance, understanding, and
good relations among indigenous peoples and all other segments of
society; and
WHEREAS in 2021, at least 21 states and more than 130 cities in the United
States have passed measures designating the second Monday in October
Indigenous Peoples’ Day instead of Columbus Day; and
WHEREAS historians have largely agreed that Columbus did not “discover” the
Americas, as indigenous people were already here, nor was he the first
European to reach the “New World”; and
WHEREAS Columbus brought devastation to the Americas, enslaving
indigenous people of the region and decimating the population while opening
the Americas up to Europe for the expansion of slave trade at the expense of
the indigenous population; and
WHEREAS the State of Michigan recognizes the presence of the three major
tribal groups in our State today, the Chippewa (Ojibwe), Ottawa (Odawa), and
Potawatomi (Bodéwadmik), who have lived upon this land since time
immemorial, and values the progress our society has accomplished through
Native American thought and culture; and
WHEREAS the recognition and acknowledgement of Indigenous Peoples’ Day
would officially acknowledge and respectfully support the resistance,
persistence, existence and living history of Oakland County’s indigenous
people, including the Bodéwadmik, Odawa, Ojibwe; and
WHEREAS Indigenous Peoples’ Day shall be used to reflect upon the ongoing
struggles of indigenous peoples on this land, and to celebrate the thriving
cultures and values that the Bodéwadmik, Odawa, Ojibwe, and other
indigenous peoples contribute to our society; and
WHEREAS on this second Monday of October, we should honor the historic,
cultural, and contemporary significance of indigenous peoples and their
ancestral lands that also became known as the Americas and celebrate their
contributions to communities throughout Michigan, the United States, and all
over the world; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has a responsibility to oppose the systemic racism
towards indigenous people in the United States which perpetuates negative
impacts on health, income, and social inequalities.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners proclaims October 10, 2022, as Indigenous Peoples’ Day in
Michigan to uplift our country’s indigenous roots, history, and contributions.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we celebrate and honor the foundational
contributions of Indigenous People to the history of our County, the State of
Michigan, and our Country.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners encourages our schools and other institutions to use
Indigenous Peoples’ Day as a point from which to, throughout the year, reflect
upon and learn about the historical abuses and continuing struggles of
indigenous nations, and to celebrate the magnificent foundations of the
indigenous people of this land upon which our County, State, and Country were
built.
