IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – RECOGNIZING APRIL 24, 2010 AS ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
REMEMBRANCE DAY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Armenians mark the date April 24, 1915 as the start of the Armenian Genocide; and
WHEREAS by P.A. 558 of 2002 “the Michigan Legislature declares that April 24 of each year shall be the
Michigan day of remembrance of the Armenian genocide of 1915-1923 and that the period beginning on
the Sunday before that day through the following Sunday shall be the days of remembrance in this state,
in memory of the victims of the genocide, and in honor of the survivors”; and
WHEREAS the history of the Armenian Genocide offers an opportunity for the world to reflect upon the
moral responsibilities of individuals, societies and governments; and
WHEREAS the Armenian Genocide was carried out by the “Young Turk” government of the Ottoman
Empire in 1915-1916; and
WHEREAS the Armenian Genocide occurred in a systematic fashion, first disarming Armenians in the
army, then killing Armenian political and intellectual leaders on April 24, 1915, and finally marching
Armenians to concentration camps in the desert where they died of starvation and thirst, proving that it
was directed by the Young Turk Government; and
WHEREAS historians estimate that one and a half million Armenians were killed during the genocide; and
WHEREAS the Armenian Genocide was condemned at the time by representatives of the British, French,
Russian, German, and Austrian governments as well as the American Government; and
WHEREAS President Bush issued a news release in 1990 calling on all Americans to join with Armenians
on April 24 in commemorating “the more than a million Armenian people who were victims”; and
WHEREAS President Clinton issued a news release on April 24, 1994, to commemorate the “tragedy”
that befell the Armenians in 1915; and
WHEREAS Senator Obama while campaigning for the Presidency repeatedly commented that the
Armenian Genocide was unequivocal and as President he would assure that the U.S. Government
recognized the event as Genocide; and
WHEREAS April 24, 2010 will mark the 95th anniversary of the beginning of the Armenian Genocide. This
day will be set aside for remembering the victims of the Genocide and for reminding Americans and the
world of what can happen to civilized people when bigotry, hatred, indifference and intolerance are
allowed to manifest and grow; and
WHEREAS as we remember the Genocide and persecution of far too many others – both preceding and
since the Armenian Genocide – the lessons of the Genocide must never be lost as we continue to
dedicate ourselves to preserving the spirit of freedom and justice for all people.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners recognize April
24, 2010 Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. When we memorialize the past, we preserve the
knowledge to actively uphold the principles of individual freedom as we face the challenges of tomorrow.
Chairperson, I move the foregoing resolution.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #10076
BY: Finance Committee, Thomas Middleton, Chairperson
IN RE: ESTABLISHMENT OF OAKLAND COUNTY TELEPHONE OPERATING SURCHARGE RATE
FOR THE PERIOD JULY 1, 2010 TO JUNE 30, 2011
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Miscellaneous Resolution #99279 authorized the telephone companies operating within
Oakland County to levy up to four (4%) percent surcharge for emergency telephone operations (with the
actual levy being $.57 per wireline, as then defined by State statutes, while the authorized amount could
have been up to $.80 per wireline) with recognition that the surcharge would expire on December 31,
2006; and
WHEREAS enabling legislation permitted the extension of wireline and wireless operating surcharges
from January 1, 2007 and through February 28, 2008 pending a more permanent solution; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners extended the telephone operating surcharge for 2007 and
through February 28, 2008 at a rate of $.28 per line, as defined (down from the $.57 per line); and
WHEREAS the $.28 per line, as defined, was to fund the construction of a new radio communication
system and related operations ($.19 per line) and $.09 per line (a one-time charge) for the acquisition of
IP-based call-taking equipment for the County Sheriff’s Office and local public safety answering points
operating within Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners established a telephone operating surcharge rate for the period
of July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009 of $.18 per line, as defined; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 22, 2010
671
WHEREAS the Michigan Public Services Commission (MPSC) interpreted the legislation to limit the
Board of Commissioner approved telephone operating surcharge of $.28 per line, as defined, to $.18 per
line through Case Number U-15489, causing a restructuring of the IP-based call-taking equipment project
to live within the amount adjusted by the MPSC; and
WHEREAS Public Act 379 of 2008 permits the Board of Commissioners to review the amount of the
operational surcharge it annually authorizes each May and adjust the amount effective July 1 of that year;
and
WHEREAS the telephone operating surcharge for the period July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010 was set
at $.18 per line, as defined, by the Board of Commissioners in spring 2009; and
WHEREAS the $.18 per line, as defined, as approved by the Board of Commissioners action generates
approximately $3.7 million in annual surcharge revenues (or, approximately $205,000 per penny of
surcharge levied for a year) to construct and maintain the radio communications/E-9-1-1 functions for
public safety (law enforcement, fire and emergency medical services) in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners is now annually required by State statutes to adopt the
telephone operating surcharge each spring for the next period from July 1 to June 30 (in this case, for the
July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011); and
WHEREAS such approved operating surcharge resolution shall be submitted to the MPSC no later than
May 17, 2010 for the period of July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011; and
WHEREAS the attached letter of transmittal (dated April 5, 2010) and related report (dated March 28,
2010) addresses business issues and fiscal concerns involving the Radio Communications Fund and the
CLEMIS Operating Fund and has been incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS the Radio Oversight Committee, a committee of the CLEMIS Advisory Board, took action to
unanimously approve the extension of the $.18 per line telephone operating surcharge on March 25, 2010
and indicated that several members of the Committee would be discussing a solution to the CLEMIS
Operating Fund business and fiscal issues, with the potential of raising the operating surcharge rate; and
WHEREAS the Radio Oversight Committee reviewed the business issues as cited in the above report
and electronically voted to support an increase to $.28 per line, as defined, on March 31, 2010 (7 votes in
support of the increase in surcharge amounts of $.10 over the current $.18 per line level and 6 votes
opposed); and
WHEREAS the intention of the surcharge resolution increasing the rate from $.18 to $.28 per line, as
defined, passed by the Radio Oversight Committee was to provide for a funding source to alleviate the
present CLEMIS Operating Fund fiscal issues as outlined in the attached letter of transmittal and report;
and
WHEREAS the County Administration believes that the ‘parity issue’ as defined in the attached letter of
transmittal and report requires the out-County law enforcement agencies (sans the City of Livonia Police
Department, as Livonia is the CLEMIS disaster recovery/back-up site; such back-up costs have been and
continue to be borne by Livonia) to increase their contributions to the operating support of CLEMIS; and
WHEREAS an increase in the telephone operating surcharge levied against the Oakland County
telephone users exacerbates the ‘parity issue’ (as cited in the attached letter of transmittal and report) by
burdening the Oakland County taxpayers through the increase in surcharge fees and in the operating
support from the County’s General Fund, while financially absolving non-Oakland County public safety
agencies of their fiscal responsibilities towards CLEMIS (other than Livonia as noted previously); and
WHEREAS the CLEMIS Advisory Board voted to increase the membership fees to County and non-
County law enforcement agencies by 5% in each of the years 2010 through 2012 in an effort to mitigate
the business issues facing CLEMIS; and
WHEREAS the non-County law enforcement agencies are charged a membership fee 10% higher than
those agencies within Oakland County and are generally required to connect to the CLEMIS systems at
their cost; and
WHEREAS a meeting was held on April 7, 2010 involving law enforcement representatives and County
Administration to discuss the operating surcharge and related CLEMIS business issues detailed in the
attached letter of transmittal; and
WHEREAS it was determined that the resolution of the CLEMIS Operating Fund issues were paramount
to the operating efficiencies of local law enforcement agencies, particularly given the reduction in most, if
not all, agencies arising from the regional economy and declines in property values; and
WHEREAS increases in CLEMIS membership and other fees burdened on Oakland County law
enforcement agencies would exacerbate the reductions in law enforcement services; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 22, 2010
672
WHEREAS an analysis was conducted and costs eligible under the operating surcharge were being
incurred in the CLEMIS Operating Fund and General Fund, as follows:
• Software maintenance and support $ 292,000
• Hardware maintenance $ 65,000
• Wireless fees for mobile data computers/LEIN fees $ 494,000
• Reimbursement of General Fund for OAKNet and
restoration of CLEMIS support $ 236,000
TOTAL $1,087,000
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the
extension of the operating surcharge on telephone lines, as defined by State statute, for the period of July
1, 2010 through June 30, 2011 to cover the operations, construction and necessary provisions of the
Radio Communications Fund in the amount of $.23 per line (such increase in operating surcharge is
estimated to generate $1,025,000 in new revenues in support of local law enforcement).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a plan to mitigate the “parity issue” as described in the attached letter
of transmittal and report be developed, approved by the CLEMIS Advisory Board no later than July 31,
2010 and subsequently brought back to the Board of Commissioners no later than August 15, 2010 for
review and approval.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the FY 2010 budget amendments will be included in the Third Quarter
FY 2010 Forecast Resolution once the mechanics of how the operating surcharge eligible costs will be
recorded and the FY 2011-2013 budget amendments will be included with the FY 2011-2013 budget
process.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #10047
BY: Commissioner Shelley G. Taub
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL 5319
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Michigan House Bill 5319 was introduced to amend Public Act 451 of 1994, entitled the
Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, in order to establish that groundwater is a “public
trust”; and
WHEREAS House Bill 5319 would repeal the current legal doctrine which gives owners of real property a
right to the reasonable use of groundwater, to the extent that it does not diminish the ability of neighboring
property owners to obtain water; and
WHEREAS by placing groundwater in a public trust, landowners would be required to secure a permit
from the State of Michigan in order to use the water in certain circumstances, such as proximity to a trout
stream; and
WHEREAS local farmers and family-owned businesses have been providing safe, properly constructed
water well systems for people to use water from the land they own for over a century. Thousands of
customers utilize this water for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational use; and
WHEREAS House Bill 5319 infringes upon the riparian rights of all landowners in Oakland County whose
property has frontage to a lake, pond or stream and negatively compromises their right to have
reasonable use of the water source, as well as property owners with well systems; and
WHEREAS the right to develop and reasonably use water is critical to growth and commerce throughout
Michigan and Oakland County; and
WHEREAS Michigan has some of the strongest water protection laws, regulations and local ordinances in
the nation. A landowner’s right to the reasonable use of water from their own property has historically
received the highest protection by state law and the courts; and
WHEREAS HB 5319 is attempting to quietly strip away these important property rights without landowner
compensation and poses a dangerous threat to the economic prosperity of the State of Michigan and
Oakland County.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 22, 2010
675
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby finds
that it would be detrimental to the people and economy of Oakland County to amend the Natural
Resources and Environmental Protection Act, in order to establish that groundwater is a “public trust”.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes House Bill
5319 and urges the Michigan Legislature to vote in opposition of this measure.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk is requested to forward copies of this
adopted resolution to Governor Jennifer M. Granholm, Representative Dan Scripps, the House
Committee on Great Lakes and Environment, the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature,
the Michigan Association of Counties and Oakland Counties Legislative Lobbyists.

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the one-quarter voted millage for the Oakland County Parks and Recreation areas in Oakland
County will expire December 31, 2011; and
WHEREAS the mission of the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission is to “deliver quality
parks, recreation, facilities, programs, services and maintenance through a dedicated professional Park
Commission and staff that listen to the needs of citizens, create innovative parks, recreation facilities and
programs and increase the quality of life for the residents of Oakland County”; and
WHEREAS in a 2008 county-wide survey, the citizens were very supportive of the actions of the Oakland
County Parks and Recreation Commission, including: the repair of older park buildings, shelters, and
playgrounds, the purchase of land to preserve open space and protect the environment, and purchase of
land to develop walking and biking trails; and
WHEREAS in the same county-wide survey, the majority of respondents indicated they would vote in
favor of renewing the dedicated millage; and
WHEREAS continued millage funding will be necessary in order to meet the mission of the Oakland
County Parks and Recreation Commission and the needs and requests of the citizens of Oakland County;
and
WHEREAS Oakland County Corporation Counsel has reviewed and approved the proposed ballot
language.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission hereby
recommends the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approve the following ballot question be
placed on the ballot at the August 3, 2010 Primary Election for the continuation of the millage at the
current rate of 0.2415 mills for an additional ten (10) years for the purpose of operating, maintaining,
improving and acquiring parks and recreation areas and facilities in Oakland County:
“The Oakland County Parks and Recreation Commission was created in 1966 pursuant to
Public Act 261 of 1965. Since 1967, there has been a separately dedicated parks and
recreation millage. The current millage will expire on December 31, 2011.
Accordingly, shall the current millage of .2415 mills, for the purpose of operating, maintaining,
improving and acquiring parks and recreation areas and facilities in Oakland County, Michigan,
be renewed for a period of ten (10) years from 2012 to 2021? The .2415 mills is equal to
$0.2415 per $1,000.00 of taxable value. The millage, if renewed, will generate approximately
$10,900,000 in 2012. Revenue from this millage will be disbursed only to the County of
Oakland to be used solely for the purpose of funding the Oakland County Parks and Recreation
Commission.
This renewal is a continuation of the previous increase of the constitutional tax limitation on the
total amount of general ad valorem taxes which may be imposed each year for all purposes
upon taxable property in Oakland County, Michigan as set forth in Section 6, Article 9 of the
Michigan Constitution.”
Chairperson, on behalf of the Planning and Building Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing
resolution.
