*MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #01259
BY: General Government Committee, William R. Patterson, Chairperson
IN RE: ABOLISHMENT OF OAKLAND COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES COORDINATING COUNCIL
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS acting pursuant to published recommendations of the State of
Michigan Human Services Department Directors, on March 7, 1996, the Oakland
County Board of Commissioners adopted Miscellaneous Resolution #96053
establishing the Oakland County Human Services Coordinating Council (OCHSCC);
and
WHEREAS in order to insure that taxpayer funds provided the OCHSCC were
subject to the same safeguards and protections as general taxpayer dollars
under governmental control, the Board of Commissioners mandated that the
County of Oakland act as fiduciary for any and all funds made available for
the use of the OCHSCC, and mandated that all OCHSCC funds be handled in a
manner consistent with Oakland County rules, regulations and procedures,
which, at all times, were to be in compliance with the Uniform Budget and
Accounting Act, 1968 PA 2, MCL 141.421 as amended; and
WHEREAS Oakland County’s designation as fiduciary for the County Board
of Commissioners-created OCHSCC was an essential condition precedent to the
Board’s establishment of the OCHSCC; and
WHEREAS the State of Michigan has terminated the County’s role as
fiduciary for the OCHSCC by refusing to contract with the County for the
performance of fiduciary services; and
WHEREAS the State’s termination of County oversight and fiduciary
control over funds coming into the possession of a coordinating council
created by Oakland County Board of Commissioners’ action breaches the
condition precedent to the establishment of the OCHSCC and requires that the
OCHSCC organization established by the Board of Commissioners be abolished.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby abolishes the Oakland County Human Services Coordinating
Council established by Miscellaneous Resolution #96053.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move
adoption of the forgoing resolution.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #01235
BY: Commissioner Lawrence A. Obrecht, District #3, and Commissioner Chuck
Moss, District #15
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - ADVOCATION OF CRITICAL BRIDGE FUNDING
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS local bridges are critical to the county transportation system
by directly impacting the public safety, and the expansion and promotion of
Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 11, 2001
557
Oakland County's economic development, agriculture, tourism and accessibility;
and
WHEREAS there are 5,573 bridges on the county road system statewide and
more than 1,394 of these bridges are either closed or posted for reduced
weight loads or with restricted traffic lanes for travel. In comparison, the
Michigan Department of Transportation has only 13 bridges on state highways
closed or posted for reduced weight loads or with restricted traffic lanes for
travel; and
WHEREAS the backlog of local bridges eligible for funding through the
Critical Bridge Program is increasing; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Department of Transportation has historically
provided only 15 percent of the federal bridge funds to the Critical Bridge
Program even though federal bridge funds are calculated based on a needs
formula and 25 percent of the federal bridge funds that come to Michigan are
based on local bridge needs; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Legislature has unanimously adopted by amendment
$24 million in obligated federal bridge funds earmarked to the Critical Bridge
Program in the 2001/2002 transportation budget; and
WHEREAS the Governor has vetoed the language earmarking the $24 million
in obligated federal bridge funds to the Critical Bridge Program.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners recognizes the far-reaching impact of viable local bridges in
the state and urges our state legislators to continue their support by
restoring the boilerplate language that earmarks the $24 million in obligated
federal bridge funds to the Critical Bridge Program when the issue comes
before them this fall.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to our
State Legislators, and to our U.S. Congressional delegation, and U.S.
Senators.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing Resolution.

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The General Government Committee, having reviewed the above-titled
resolution on October 1, 2001, recommends that the resolution be adopted.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move

GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #01236
BY: Commissioner Lawrence A. Obrecht, District #3, and Commissioner Chuck
Moss, District #15
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – TRANSPORTATION ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Michigan Transportation Economic Development Fund was
created in 1987 to support state and local transportation projects to enhance
economic development and alleviate traffic congestion. The legislature
Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 11, 2001
558
recognized these needs by establishing a state-wide grant program known as
Category A, an urban congestion program to address the needs of the five
largest counties of Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Kent, and Genesee known as
Category C, and a rural economic development program for the remaining 78
counties to identify and build an all-season road network that would benefit
small businesses, agriculture, and tourism in this state known as Category D;
and
WHEREAS in a letter, dated May 1, 2000, to the legislature by the
Director of the Michigan Department of Management and Budget, Building
Michigan III projects funded by Category A grants were to be paid for with the
sale of state bonds and the debt service for those bonds paid entirely with
Category A funds; and
WHEREAS the legislature passed legislation implementing Building
Michigan III with the understanding that local transportation economic
development funds in Categories C and D would not be used; and
WHEREAS the Governor's proposed 2001/2002 transportation budget
attempted to take Category C and D funds to help pay the debt service for
bonds sold to complete Category A economic development road projects. The
legislature overwhelmingly rejected that proposal by restoring the funding to
Categories C and D and returning the debt service for Build Michigan III to
Category A. The legislature followed the budget with the introduction of
House Bill 4825 to amend the Transportation Economic Development Act of 1987
and protect county road commission funding in Categories C and D from future
efforts to divert these funds for state debt service; and
WHEREAS the Governor's transportation budget veto message to the
legislature states that he intends to ignore the budget actions taken by the
House and Senate and is directing the Michigan Department of Transportation to
take county road funding from Categories C and D to pay one half of the Build
Michigan III debt service; and
WHEREAS this action will cause the Road Commission for Oakland County to
lose $700,040 annually in economic development funds for transportation and
cause local road projects that are important to economic development and
public safety to be delayed or halted.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners urges our state legislators to continue their support of
protecting local transportation funds from these types of raids by opposing
any efforts to transfer Transportation Economic Development Funds in
Categories C and D to the State's Category A program for state debt service
and pass House Bill 4825 upon their return to session this fall.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

WHEREAS the Michigan National Guard's mission is to protect the lives

considerable reduction in pay; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners remains committed to

the employee's published base salary and service increment rate at the time of

scheduled if the employee were actively working at the County. The supplement
will equal the employee's "normal" compensation, less the employee's total
military pay for the period for which the supplement is being computed.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
authorizes the County to provide, for up to one (1) year, the medical benefits
of dependents of employees called to active duty, so that they will receive
the normal medical benefits retroactive back to the date of the employee's
military call-up.
