GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #09231
BY: Commissioners Shelley Taub, District #16 and Janet Jackson, District #21
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR MICHIGAN HOUSE BILL 5279 TO
STREAMLINE ABSENTEE VOTING TO PROTECT THE VOTE FOR OVERSEAS MILITARY
PERSONNEL
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the highly respected, non-partisan Pew Center on the States named Michigan as one of 16
states failing its overseas troops by not allowing enough time for military personnel to return their votes to
Michigan in time to be counted; and
WHEREAS the study found that the majority of AV ballots requested by our overseas military never make
it home in time to be counted, largely due to overseas mailing delays; and
WHEREAS these are men and women who are overseas, away from their families and often risking their
lives to protect our freedom. Michigan must take action to ensure their right to vote is protected here at
home; and
WHEREAS federal legislation has been introduced designed to streamline the overseas military system,
but it is unclear whether that legislation will move forward; and
WHEREAS Michigan owes it to our military men and women to take action now to implement common-
sense changes that will safeguard their vote, with the full expectation that any improvements Michigan
makes to the military voting system will help ensure the state is compliant should any new, federal
guidelines be enacted in the future; and
WHEREAS in response to the Pew Center report, Oakland County Clerk Ruth Johnson, Macomb County
Clerk Carmella Sabaugh and Wayne County Clerk Cathy Garrett created OPERATION: OUR TROOPS
COUNT earlier this year to push for changes that will ensure the votes of overseas military personnel are
counted on Election Day and began working with State Representative Vince Gregory on legislation to
remedy mailing delays; and
WHEREAS at the county clerks’ request, State Rep. Vince Gregory introduced House Bill 5279 in August
2009 which would allow Michigan clerks to email/fax blank absentee ballots to overseas voters,
streamlining the military voting system, reducing mailing time and postage costs; and
WHEREAS more than 30 other states across the nation already allow this practice with appropriate
safeguards and integrity built into the system.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the
brave men and women, who are stationed overseas to defend our country and to preserve freedom in
foreign lands, and believe Michigan must provide them with every opportunity to exercise their basic
democratic right to vote.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby urges the
Michigan State Legislature to adopt House Bill 5279 that will allow state election officials to make blank
ballots available by email, fax, or other electronic means to overseas voters.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the Michigan
State Legislature to adopt legislation that provides for a secure environment that protects the secrecy of
the ballot, yet allows for the completed ballots of military personnel who are stationed overseas to be
counted on Election Day.

HEARING PILOT PROGRAM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in a continuing county wide effort to utilize OakVideo technology the Probate Court, Sheriff’s
Office and Information Technology have worked together in developing the proposed video hearing pilot
program; and
WHEREAS the departments are seeking to implement OakVideo technology for use in mental health
commitment hearings with patients at the Center for Forensic Psychiatry in Ann Arbor, MI; and
WHEREAS Michigan Court Rule 5.738a allows the use of this technology for mental health commitment
hearings; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 12, 2009
826
WHEREAS the Sheriff’s Office is required to transport patients from the Forensic Center to the Probate
Court for these hearings. This program would allow the patients to remain at the Forensic Center,
therefore eliminating the Sheriff’s transport of these patients; and
WHEREAS during any given day the Sheriff’s Office transports could include more than just the mental
health commitment hearing participants to multiple locations. The use of this technology will not eliminate
the Sheriff’s primary need for resources to transport prisoners, but will reduce associated costs such as
gasoline, overtime and mileage; and
WHEREAS the elimination of these transports reduces liability, saves cost, and reduces lodging of these
patients in the Oakland County Jail; and
WHEREAS the use of this technology reduces the disruption to the patient associated with the transports;
and
WHEREAS the FY 2010 Adopted Budget for Probate Court includes changes to the Defense Attorney
payment system to reduce and control costs. The Court pays a flat rate to three Defense Attorney’s each
week to handle all mental health cases for the week; and
WHEREAS additional costs will be incurred by the Probate Court to cover additional Defense Attorney
fees and mileage of the attorneys who are required to travel to and from the Forensic Center; and
WHEREAS the Probate Court requests $15,000 for attorney fees and their mileage to represent patients
at the Forensic Center; and
WHEREAS the departments are requesting approval to pilot the program for one (1) year. The pilot will
allow the departments to track cost savings and determine the effectiveness of the program.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approves the
Probate Court, Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, and Information Technology Interactive Video hearing
pilot program for a period of one (1) year.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #09282
BY: Shelley Taub, Marcia Gershenson, Christine Long, David Potts, David Woodward
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR PROTECTING SECTION 20J FUNDS FOR
OAKLAND COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 12, 2009
831
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in Fiscal Year 1994-95, Michigan’s school finance system was revamped, and the “foundation
allowance” became the basic mechanism used to distribute state funding in school districts. A foundation
allowance is a per-pupil amount that is allocated to each school district and is used to pay for school
operations; and
WHEREAS 15 years ago when voters approved Proposal A, they were assured that those school districts
which had shown strong financial support for their schools would not be penalized – they would be “held
harmless”. The intention was to close the school funding gap; and
WHEREAS the State School Aid Act first included Section 20j in P.A. 119 of 1999, to take effect in Fiscal
Year 1999-2000. The hold harmless school districts have a foundation allowance above the State
Maximum Foundation Alliance and must levy local millages to make up the difference between their
maximum and foundation allowance; and
WHEREAS since 1994, approximately two-thirds of Michigan’s school districts have received a 125%
increase in funding, while “hold harmless” districts have been held to an increase of approximately 17%;
and
WHEREAS Section 1211(3) of the Revised School Code prohibits “hold-harmless” districts from collecting
more than an inflationary increase in their per-pupil State and local revenue from one year to the next
year. This means that if the dollar increase in the basic foundation allowance exceeds the inflation rate
when applied to a hold harmless district’s previous year foundation allowance (not when applied to the
basic foundation allowance itself), the district cannot by law levy the number of mills necessary to receive
the full dollar increase given in the basic foundation allowance; and
WHEREAS in October, Governor Granholm’s vetoed $52 million in 20j funding, leaving 40 school
districts, which adopted their annual budgets in June, abruptly without adequate funding; and
WHEREAS there are 40 “hold harmless” school districts in Michigan, and 12 are located in Oakland
County: Avondale School District, Birmingham City School District, Bloomfield Hills School District,
Clarenceville School District, Farmington Public School District, Lamphere Public Schools, Novi
Community Schools, School District City of Royal Oak, Southfield Public School District, Troy Public
School District, Walled Lake Consolidated School District and West Bloomfield School District; and
WHEREAS the Michigan House has recently passed a K-12 supplemental bill for Fiscal Year 2009-10
(HB 4860) which reduces the governor’s proration of $212 million by appropriating $184 federal stimulus
funds. This reflects reducing the cut from $127 per student to $10 by tapping these federal funds set
aside to cover the budget hole in 2010-11; and
WHEREAS the supplemental amendments in House Bill 4860, restored half of the 20j school district
funding of $25.7 million (which represents only one-half of FY 2009-10 funding level); and
WHEREAS the $59 million in total funding for Section 20j, Section 20l, and Section 32d is from the
Michigan Future Fund – currently an unfunded revenue source; and
WHEREAS the continuous effort to cut 20j funding would be devastating to these school districts and will
have a detrimental impact on their ability to provide quality education.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby urges
Governor Granholm and the Michigan Legislature to preserve and protect the 20j funding for our local
schools.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk is requested to forward copies of this
adopted resolution to Governor Granholm, the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature,
the school districts in Oakland County, Oakland Schools, the Michigan Association of Counties and
Oakland Counties Lobbyists.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #09283
BY: Shelley Taub, District #16
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR THE ALLOCATION OF STATE AND
FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDS BY POPULATION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS pursuant to the Metropolitan Transportation Authorities Act of 1967, 1967 PA 204, as
amended, (Act 204), Oakland County is a member of the corporation known as the Regional Transit
Coordinating Council (RTCC) and is a member of the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional
Transportation (SMART); and
WHEREAS membership in the RTCC also includes the City of Detroit, Wayne County outside of the City
of Detroit, Macomb County and Monroe County; and
WHEREAS Act 204 established the RTCC as the “designated recipient” to apply for federal and state
transportation and operating assistance grants in support of public transportation on behalf of its
members; and
WHEREAS section 4a (5) of Act 204 requires the RTCC’s annual grant application to designate the
distribution of all capital and operating funds which shall be paid directly to the city with a population over
750,000 and the authority representing the counties; and
WHEREAS SMART is the “authority representing the member counties” described in section 4a (5) of Act
204 and the City of Detroit (DDOT) is the city with a population over 750,000 while the remaining RTCC
area serviced by SMART has a population of 3 million; and
WHEREAS pursuant to section 4a (4) of Act 204 the RTCC articles of incorporation set forth the
allocation between the city and the authority representing the counties of any grants applied for by the
RTCC; and
WHEREAS the allocation between the city and the authority representing the counties established at the
inception of the RTCC in 1989 was 65% to the City of Detroit and 35% to SMART; and
WHEREAS the continued application of the 65/35 allocation formula has resulted in a net loss to SMART
and its member counties of over $115 million since 1993 when compared to the amount of grants SMART
would have qualified for had its share been determined using the state and federal statutes and
regulations applicable at the time of distribution as if the designated subrecipients or direct recipients
were allowed to and did apply for federal and state formula funds independently of each other and the
RTCC; and
WHEREAS Act 204 mandates that the RTCC act only by a unanimous vote of it membership entitled to
vote; and
WHEREAS the City’s representatives have been unwilling to modify the 65/35 allocation formulas that
has unfairly benefited the City by over $115 million since 1993, with some $73.8 million of the unfair
benefit having accrued between 2005 and 2009 alone; and
WHEREAS continuing such blatant inequity likely mortally injures both ongoing and future support for
public transportation and makes future development of a coordinated regional mass transportation
system in southeast Michigan unlikely; and
WHEREAS SMART is seeking passage of House Bill 4608, remedial legislation that would require the
RTCC’s designated distribution of federal and state formula funds, regardless of what entity is the
subrecipient or direct recipient of the funds, to be determined using the state and federal statutes and
regulations applicable at the time of distribution as if the designated subrecipients or direct recipients
were allowed to and did apply for federal and state formula funds independently of each other.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the State
Legislature to pass, and asks the Governor to sign, HB 4608, giving the same immediate effect.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners directs its lobbyist to undertake all
reasonable efforts to facilitate the speedy adoption of HB 4608.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk is directed to forward copies of this resolution to their
lobbyist, the State Legislature, Governor’s Office, the SMART Board of Directors and the members of the
RTCC.

WHEREAS the current Policy refers to Oakland County’s implementation of affirmative action policies and
is itself currently entitled “Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) & Affirmative Action Policy; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. November 12, 2009
835
WHEREAS on November 7, 2006, the voters of the State of Michigan approved Proposal 2 (Michigan
06-2), which amended the State of Michigan’s Constitution to ban the use of affirmative action by the
State of Michigan, including its counties and other political subdivisions; and
WHEREAS Proposal 2 became law on December 22, 2006; and
WHEREAS regardless of one’s views on affirmative action, it is important for Oakland County’s policies to
comply with State of Michigan law, especially the State of Michigan’s Constitution; and
WHEREAS the current wording of the Policy calls into question its legality and enforceability; and
WHEREAS the Policy currently permits Oakland County’s government to discriminate in employment on
the basis of sexual orientation; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners believes that all individuals, regardless of their

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
amends its Equal Employment Opportunity Policy as indicated in the attachment to this resolution in order

BY: Commissioner Tim Greimel
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – ADOPTION OF “FIX IT FIRST” POLICY IN
APPROPRIATION OF TRI-PARTY ROAD PROGRAM EXPENDITURES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS on September 24, 2009, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution
#09221 Tri-Party Road Improvement Program – Funding and Project Approval Process ; and
WHEREAS Resolution #09221 reduced Oakland County’s contribution, and the respective contributions
of the Road Commission for Oakland County and of cities, villages, and townships (CVTs), to the Tri-
Party Road Improvement Program from $2.25 million to $1.0 million; and
WHEREAS as a result, Resolution #09221 reduced the total annual contribution to the Tri-Party Road
Improvement Program from $6.75 million to $3.0 million; and
WHEREAS due to the Road Commission for Oakland County having more miles of road under its
jurisdiction than any other road commission or county in the State of Michigan and due to financial
challenges facing the State of Michigan and all road commissions, the Michigan Infrastructure and
Transportation Association has recently reported that Oakland County has the second highest number of
roads in disrepair of any county in the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS Resolution #09221 gives the Oakland County Board of Commissioners substantially greater
authority over the expenditure of Tri-Party Road Improvement Program funds than it has exercised in the
past; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners believes that scarce road funds should be prioritized on
repairing roads before they are used on widening or expanding roads; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners believes that it has a responsibility to pro-actively and forthrightly
communicate its road spending priorities to both CVTs and the Road Commission for Oakland County
and to not wait until individual projects come before it for approval.

a policy of appropriating its share of Tri-Party Road Improvement Program funding only to the repair of
roads and to the limited reconfiguration of roads for safety purposes.

expressly prohibits the use of its share of Tri-Party Road Improvement Program dollars to be used for: (a)
the widening of roads by adding through lanes in both directions; (b) the extension of roads into areas
where the roads did not previously go; and/or (c) the construction of entirely new roads.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this new policy will continue to permit the use of Tri-Party Road
Improvement Program dollars for the construction of middle turn lanes, right turn lanes, and left turn lanes
(even if doing so means that a road will be expanded from two lanes to three lanes or from four lanes to
five lanes) and will continue to permit the use of Tri-Party Road Improvement Program dollars for the
paving of gravel roads so long as such newly paved roads are only two lanes or three lanes (two lanes
with a middle turn lane).

forward copies of this resolution to the Road Commission for Oakland County and to all cities, villages,
and townships in Oakland County.

the State Legislature restore as much of the public school district reductions as possible, including
