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
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 26, 2001
248
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.
BE IT 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.
Chairperson, I move on behalf of the below-signed commissioners and
myself the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
