by the Grantee unless otherwise specified at the time of approval.
6
2.7 Accounting

maintain records which will allow, at a minimum, for the comparison of actual outlays with
budgeted amounts. The Grantee's overall financial management system must ensure effective
control over and accountability for all funds received. Accounting records must be supported by
source documentation including, but not limited to, balance sheets, general ledgers, time sheets
and invoices. The expenditure of state funds shall be reported by line item and compared to the
Budget.
2.8 Records Maintenance, Inspection, Examination, and Audit

Period”). If an audit, litigation, or other action involving the records is initiated before the end of
the Audit Period, Grantee must retain the records until all issues are resolved.

designees have the right to enter and inspect Grantee's premises or any other places where Grant
Activities are being performed, and examine, copy, and audit all records related to this Grant.

understood and agreed that neither party will indemnify the other party in such litigation.
3.4 Termination
A.Termination for Cause
The State may terminate this Grant for cause, in whole or in part, if Grantee, as

termination notice specifying whether Grantee must: (a) cease performance
8
immediately, or (b) continue to perform for a specified period. If it is later

terminating this Grant. The Grantee must pay all reasonable costs incurred by the
State in terminating this Grant for cause, including administrative costs, attorneys’
fees, court costs, transition costs, and any costs the State incurs to procure the
Grant Activities from other sources.
B.Termination for Convenience
The State may immediately terminate this Grant in whole or in part without
penalty and for any reason, including but not limited to, appropriation or budget
shortfalls. If the State terminates this Grant for convenience, the State will pay all
reasonable costs, as determined by the State, for State approved Grant
Responsibilities.

Grantee will uphold high ethical standards and is prohibited from: (a) holding or
acquiring an interest that would conflict with this Grant; (b) doing anything that creates an

by the State will be permitted to share in this Agreement, or any benefit that arises from this
Agreement.

performance does not modify Grantee’s status as an independent Grantee.
4.9 Dispute Resolution
The parties will endeavor to resolve any Grant dispute in accordance with this provision.
The dispute will be referred to the parties' respective Grant Administrators or Program
Managers. Such referral must include a description of the issues and all supporting
documentation. The parties must submit the dispute to a senior executive if unable to resolve the
dispute within 15 business days. The parties will continue performing while a dispute is being
12
resolved, unless the dispute precludes performance. A dispute involving payment does not
preclude performance.
Litigation to resolve the dispute will not be instituted until after the dispute has been
elevated to the parties’ senior executive and either concludes that resolution is unlikely, or fails
to respond within 15 business days. The parties are not prohibited from instituting formal
proceedings: (a) to avoid the expiration of statute of limitations period; (b) to preserve a superior
position with respect to creditors; or (c) where a party makes a determination that a temporary
restraining order or other injunctive relief is the only adequate remedy. This Section does not
limit the State’s right to terminate the Grant.
5.0 Severability
If any part of this Grant is held invalid or unenforceable, by any court of competent
jurisdiction, that part will be deemed deleted from this Grant and the severed part will be
replaced by agreed upon language that achieves the same or similar objectives. The remaining
Grant will continue in full force and effect.
5.1 Waiver
Failure to enforce any provision of this Grant will not constitute a waiver.

Medical Marihuana Operation and Oversight Grants
2024 Grant Application
Oakland County Health Division
Overview
Oakland County Health Division (OCHD) is the local public health agency for Oakland County. Approximately
500 employees work across 40+ programs providing health services for the public, businesses, and educational
communities. For over 30 years, OCHD has maintained a substance abuse prevention license to implement
services that target preventing substance use disorders (SUD). The Health Division provides evidence-based
SUD prevention programs focused on all illegal and prescription drugs, including marijuana, to high-risk
elementary and middle schools, parent groups, community organizations, and local coalitions. In addition,
several will support the efforts of the proposed project.
Project
A comprehensive, multi-pronged approach is being proposed to implement the project activities regarding the
Michigan Medical Marihuana Act. Three strategies will be the focus of the proposed project:
1. Education activities
2. Awareness campaign
3. Outreach activities
Activities are described below with an implementation plan. Several key messages will be integrated into
education, awareness, and outreach activities about the following main topics related to medical marihuana use:
Health risks, including:
o Effects related to the developing brains of youth (under 25 years old)
o Unintentional poisoning
o Use during pregnancy and lactation
o Impaired driving
General addiction information
General education about the medical marihuana industry
Key target populations for the proposed project include:
Medical marihuana patients
Healthcare and allied health professionals, clinicians, caregivers
Families and expecting parents
North Oakland Health Center | 1200 N. Telegraph Road 34E | Pontiac, MI 48341-0432 | (248) 858-1280 | oakgov.com/health
South Oakland Health Center | 27725 Greenfield Road | Southfield, MI 48076-3663 | (248) 424-7000 | oakgov.com/health
Provisioning center ownership and staff
Secondary target populations include:
SUD and behavioral health providers
Educational community
Community Collaboratives such as Oakland County Substance Use Prevention Partnership (OCSUPP),
Best Start for Babies, ECHO Access to Care
Public health professionals interfacing with primary target populations (WIC program, Community
Nursing programs, Harm Reduction clinic, STD and Immunizations clinics)
Elected officials
Juvenile justice system professionals including local Youth Assistance staff
Community health organizations reaching specific populations such as Centro Multicultural La Familia
and Arab American and Chaldean Council.
Message Development
Messaging will continue to focus on the topics addressed during prior grant cycles of the Medical Marihuana
Operation and Oversight Grant funding, such as health effects of illegal youth use, impaired driving, safe
storage, and pregnancy and breastfeeding. Additional messaging will be developed using reputable information
sources such as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMSHA), National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), and supporting research.
An assessment will be distributed to evaluate communications efforts and current audience priorities for
strategic insights to develop the communications approach. The evaluation will gather feedback on the
awareness of placed awareness and education advertising, the perception of medical and adult-use cannabis, and
behaviors related to public health concerns about cannabis use. OCHD will work with GUD Marketing on
survey dissemination to allow for more consistent data collection and provide a more comprehensive picture of
feedback. Survey results will serve as the foundation for developing new educational materials, website
enhancement, and outreach activities. All newly developed materials will be translated into several languages
including Spanish and Arabic to ensure cultural and linguistic competency for Oakland County residents.
Education Activities
Education activities will include creating new printed and electronic materials, enhancing the OCHD Medical
Marihuana website and professional development activities for grant-funded staff.
Educational Materials such as brochures, fact sheets, posters, and resource cards will be developed in
both printed and electronic formats. Additional topic areas beyond safe storage, safe driving, youth use
prevention, and preventing use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, will be determined from the survey
results mentioned above. Material distribution will occur via OCHD website, GOVdelivery, and/or
social media in addition to community events and partner distribution. GOVDelivery is an e-mail
subscription management system that provides access to information through e-mail and wireless alerts.
Printed and electronic educational materials will be provided to local partners for dissemination. The
number of materials distributed will be tracked along with the receiving population and website
analytics will be documented and monitored.

South Oakland Health Center | 27725 Greenfield Road | Southfield, MI 48076-3663 | (248) 424-7000 | oakgov.com/health
Website Enhancement - The current OCHD medical marihuana website will be expanded to include all
newly created resources.
Awareness campaign activities
An ongoing awareness campaign will be implemented using purchased advertisement, educational videos, and
social media messaging to promote increased awareness of health risks and safe storage of medical marihuana.
Purchased advertisement may include print media, TV, cable, radio, billboards, bus, and social media
ads. Reach of each media form will be tracked geographically, while social media and website analytics
will also be analyzed by number of individuals reached and number of engagements (likes, shares,
retweets, etc.).
Print materials such as posters, resource cards/lists, magnets, and facts sheets will be disseminated to
partners such as healthcare organizations, SUD and mental health providers, universities, provisioning
centers, caregivers, and patients. Electronic materials will also be provided to allow partners the
flexibility to print and disseminate as needed.
Outreach Activities
The goal of the proposed outreach activities is to take awareness and educational services into the community
where people live, work, and interact. Outreach activities will work to reduce negative health outcomes and
expand overall community knowledge about the health risks.
Purchase and distribute lockboxes and lock bags Lockboxes and lock bags will be purchased and
disseminated via various community events and through community partners including, but not limited
to, SUD and behavioral health providers, Oakland County Veterans Services, the educational
community, community collaboratives such as Oakland County Substance Use Prevention Partnership
(OCSUPP), Best Start for Babies, ECHO Access to Care, public health professionals interfacing with
primary target populations (WIC program, Community Nursing programs, Harm Reduction clinic, STD
and Immunizations clinics), elected officials including county commissioners, juvenile justice system
professionals including local Youth Assistance staff, community health organizations reaching specific
populations such as Centro Multicultural La Familia and Arab American and Chaldean Council. These
partners have direct connections with individuals to increase safe marihuana storage opportunities.
OCHD grant staff will coordinate the communication, distribution, and inventory of lockboxes.
Educational visits to provisioning centers - Similar to the Gun Shop Project model in the suicide
prevention field, this project would seek to create and distribute materials to discuss patient health
including dangers of unintentional poisonings, exposure during pregnancy and lactation, and impaired
driving. Lock boxes and bags will be provided to centers when appropriate to distribute to encourage
safe storage among medical marihuana patients.
Coordination with other agencies
OCHD works with local and regional partners on an ongoing basis to address a variety of public health topics.
Using existing community collaborations, partners will be engaged to implement the proposed project activities
as needed. They will assist with the dissemination of printed and electronic educational materials lockbox and
bags to target populations.
Impact on the community
Marijuana is the most used illegal drug in the United States, with approximately 48.2 million users in 2019.
Recent research estimated that approximately 3 in 10 people who use marijuana have marijuana use

disorder.For people who begin using marijuana before age 18, the risk of developing marijuana use disorder is
even greater. (CDC.gov, 2019). Although marijuana is legal in the state of Michigan for those over 21, young
adults in Michigan aged 18-25 have the highest proportions of past-month cannabis use when compared to other
age groups, with 24.2% reporting past-month use in 2016-2017 according to the Behavioral Risk Factor
Surveillance System Questionnaire. Prevalence of use (past year and past month) has been increasing across
Michigan since 2002-2003 and increasing faster in Michigan than across the Midwest. Almost all of the
observed increases in prevalence for Michigan have occurred in the years following legalization of medical
cannabis use (Injury Prevention Center, University of Michigan, 2020).
In addition, m
influence of cannabis within two hours of using it, at least once in the last six months. One in five of them said
University of Michigan Addiction
Center report in a paper in the journal Drug & Alcohol Dependence.
This project will improve awareness and knowledge of health and safety risks to best protect Oakland County
residents from unintentional overdoses, impaired driving, use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and use on
developing brains of those under 25 years old.
How funds will be combined with other funds to implement the project
These funds will be combined with local, in-kind resources including the involvement of OCHD staff funded
with general fund dollars. A Public Health Education Supervisor will oversee the grant funded staff. The Health
Promotion Services Administrator will provide guidance and input into grant implementation. Graphic design
staff will provide time to develop new materials as needed.
Anticipated Outcomes of project
OCHD will work to increase knowledge and awareness of health and safety risks, increase capacity to store
medical marihuana products safely to reduce the risk of unintentional overdose, increase knowledge and
comfortability of healthcare professionals when discussing medical cannabis, and conduct community and
industry outreach to continue serving our community. OCHD will work with target populations to form
sustainable partnerships to continue education and awareness efforts after grant funding ceases.
Budget
OCHD is requesting funds to support 1 part-time, non-eligible Public Health Educator to carry out the project
activities outlined above. The Health Educator will be responsible for creating educational and awareness
messaging and activities in addition to coordinating and implementing outreach efforts and providing health
education materials to medical marijuana dispensaries and advocacy groups, as well as other outreach functions.
They will also focus on strategically connecting with Oakland County communities through distribution of
education materials, regular communication with medical marijuana advocacy groups, and other outreach
efforts.
Proposed funds will be used to create, print, and distribute educational materials and purchase large-scale
advertising and paid social media messages in addition to purchasing all educational supplies. Funds will be
used to purchase safe storage mechanisms such as lockboxes and lock bags as well as covering potential
shipping costs. All educational, awareness and outreach materials will be translated into different languages,

such as Spanish and Arabic, to ensure cultural and linguistic competency across Oakland County. Funds will be
used to purchase necessary technological equipment (laptops, cell phones) for grant-funded staff.
