Michigan Department of Corrections in-kind match, and a $10,000
Michigan Department of Community Health in-kind match, the total
program effort is equal to $259,644. The in-kind matches, since
they represent current budgeted resources, will not be included in
the special revenue budget.

of the State Officers Compensation Commission, an action which requires a two-
thirds vote by both the House and the Senate; and

that proposes an amendment to the Article IV, Section 12 of the State
Constitution; and

effective only if the Legislature approves them by a concurrent resolution
that is adopted by a majority of the members elected to and serving in each

either amend or reduce the salary and expense recommendations – an option that
is not available under the present system; and

IN RE: ESTABLISHMENT OF FRIEND OF THE COURT CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the legislature for the State of Michigan enacted Act No. 366 of
Public Acts of 1996, to amend certain provisions of the state statutes
pertaining to the friend of the court, part of which provided for the
establishment of friend of the court citizen advisory committees (hereinafter
referred to as “committee”; and
WHEREAS that two issues have delayed the establishment of the committee
in Oakland County, being: the source of operating costs and a conflict between
statute and court rules relating to confidentiality of friend of the court
records and the availability of those records for use by the friend of the
court citizens advisory committee; and
WHEREAS the act provides, in section 4 (6) that the state court
administrative office shall perform staff and support functions that are
necessary for a citizen advisory committee to perform its duties and
functions, however, to date, the state court administrative office has yet to
either offer or provide such staff or support functions to this county; and
WHEREAS it has been estimated that it will cost a minimum of $26,909.00
per year to operate the committee; and
WHEREAS effective April 1, 2001, Michigan Court Rules will be amended to
correct the conflict which prohibited Oakland County from proceeding with
establishment of the committee; and
WHEREAS as one of the largest and busiest friend of the court offices in
this state, it is in the best interests of the citizens of Oakland County to
establish a citizens advisory committee within this county to review such
complaints and grievances which may fall under its authority and make report
back to the court and board of commissioners as provided by statute, but in no
event less than annually; and
WHEREAS it is recognized that the committee’s findings and
recommendations will be merely advisory in nature, however, it is believed
that such a body, independent from the friend of the court will provide a
neutral and objective forum for the citizens of this county to have their
grievances and complaints about office operations or gender based decisions
addressed; and
WHEREAS the time has come to move forward on establishment of this
committee, with or without the promised support of the state of Michigan as
specifically provided in the statute, however, if established, efforts should
be maintained to recover any operational expenses incurred from the state of
Michigan, for support of this unfunded mandate.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners act
forthwith to establish a friend of the court citizens advisory committee as
provided in Act No. 366 of Public Acts of 1996.
NOW LET IT BE FURTHER RESOLVED that in establishing the foregoing
committee, financial records be maintained so that Oakland County may seek
reimbursement from the state of Michigan for all costs related to providing
staff and support functions for this committee.
