IN RE: COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH AUTHORITY – REQUEST FOR ADVANCED PAYMENT OF

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners, by Miscellaneous Resolution #98215
dated September 24, 1998, accepted the proposed transition plan and
established the Oakland County Community Mental Health Authority (CMHA),
effective January 1, 1999, for purposes of carrying out the provisions of the

Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 5, 2001
207
WHEREAS the Fiscal Note attached to the referenced resolution reads, in
part:
That subject to the constraint of funds actually appropriated by the
County Board of Commissioners, the amount of County match required of
a county that has created a Community Mental Health Authority may not
exceed the amount of funds provided by the county as county match in
Fiscal Year 1994-1995 or the year the authority is created, whichever
is greater. In Oakland County’s situation, the Fiscal Year 1994-1995
match of $9,620,616 is the greater amount, therefore, subject to the
constraint of funds actually appropriated by the County Board of
Commissioners, the County may not be required to provide the Oakland
County Community Mental Health Authority with a match greater than
$9,620,919 on an annual basis; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has provided the full complement of funding,
$9,620,919, to the CMHA each year since its creation, payable in monthly
installments of approximately $800,000; and
WHEREAS due to State funding issues and resultant cash flow problems,
CMHA is requesting the County to advance the remaining County match
($4,810,460) for the balance of Fiscal Year 2001; and
WHEREAS if the County were to honor the request to advance funds,
General Fund interest earnings would be adversely impacted by an estimated
$71,000; and
WHEREAS the County is desirous of sustaining CMHA services to
constituents by advancing the remaining Fiscal Year 2001 County match,
provided CMHA replenishes the lost interest earnings to the County General
Fund.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the advance of $4,810,460, representing the
remainder of Fiscal Year 2001 County matching funds, to the Oakland County
Community Mental Health Authority (CMHA), upon condition that CMHA replenishes
the estimated lost interest earnings ($71,000) to the County General Fund.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a written agreement be prepared and signed
by the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners and the Chairman of the CMHA,
executing the intent of this resolution before any funds are provided in
