REPORT (MISC. #01287)
BY: General Government Committee, William Patterson, Chairperson
IN RE: MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #01287 – BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – STAND UP
FOR UNITED STATES STEEL
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The General Government Committee, having reviewed the above-titled
resolution on November 14, 2001, recommends that the resolution be adopted.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move

GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #01287
BY: Commissioner Ruel E. McPherson, District 25
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - STAND UP FOR UNITED STATES STEEL
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the American steel industry is in danger of being eliminated
through the illegal importing and dumping of steel manufactured outside the
United States; and
WHEREAS the steel industry has historically been the backbone of the
United States manufacturing sector and plays a critical role in securing our
nation's defenses; and
WHEREAS existing laws regarding steel dumping are not strict enough and
are not being strictly enforced. This has had a devastating toll on the
American economy, resulting in at least 23 U.S. steel makers, including
Bethlehem Steel, having to file for bankruptcy protection. Nationwide, 11
steel mills have shut down, culminating in the loss of 25,000 American
steelworker jobs; and
WHEREAS the threat on the steel industry also impacts local
manufacturers, employees and dependents. Great Lakes Steel and Rouge
Industries employ more than 6,500 employees in the metropolitan Detroit area.
Great Lakes Steel, operating in Ecorse and River Rouge, has shut down one of
its four blast furnaces. Rouge Industries has suspended dividends to
shareholders after 29 quarters of payments; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners from the counties of Cheboygan and
Kalkaska have both passed resolutions in support of the American steel
industry.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby request that our Senators and Representatives in the
State legislature and in Congress, along with the administrations of Governor
John Engler and President George W. Bush, thoroughly investigate the practice
of steel dumping in the United States market and take the necessary actions to
enforce our trade laws and eliminate this unfair and illegal assault on the
steel industry, local manufacturers, employees, retirees and our communities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this adopted resolution be sent to
President George W. Bush, Governor John Engler, the Michigan Delegation to the

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – AUTHORIZE COUNTY TO SUPPLEMENT PAY OF
RESERVISTS CALLED TO ACTIVE DUTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Finance Committee, having reviewed the above referenced resolution,
reports the following:
1. At this time, there are a number of unknown factors, which do not
allow for a complete assessment of the financial impact related to
this resolution. Some of the factors include:
a. The number of County employees called to active duty.
b. The rank and pay scale for each reservist called to active
duty.
c. The duration of the call-up to active duty.
2. Due to the fact that the County budget salary and fringe benefit
dollars is an amount equal to “full employment”, sufficient funds
should exist in the department’s budget to cover the expense.
Should a department, however, require temporary replacement
personnel to continue standard operations, additional funding may
be required.
3. The amount of County funds expended on this effort will be
reported during the Quarterly Financial Forecasts.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move acceptance of
the foregoing report.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - AUTHORIZE COUNTY TO SUPPLEMENT PAY OF
RESERVISTS CALLED TO ACTIVE MILITARY DUTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Michigan National Guard's mission is to protect the lives
and property of Michigan citizens during times of natural disaster and to
preserve the peace, order, and public safety; and
WHEREAS in 1991, during the Desert Storm Crisis in the Persian Gulf, the
Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted Miscellaneous Resolutions #91001
and #91047, which authorized the County to supplement military pay of
employees called to active military duty; and
WHEREAS following the September 11th, "Attack on America" hundreds of
Michigan military reservists were again called into active duty; and
WHEREAS most persons activated for military service generally take a
substantial pay cut. Recognizing that the current threat to the security of
the United States may continue for several months - Oakland County employees
who have been or will be ordered to active duty will be subjected to a
considerable reduction in pay; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners remains committed to
supporting the Oakland County employees, who out of deep concern and
commitment to the protection of their state and their community, have
dedicated their time and energy to serve as military reservists.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the County to supplement the military pay for
employees called to active duty so that they will receive total pay equal to
their "normal" County compensation retroactive to the date of their military
call-up.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that "normal" compensation shall be defined as
the employee's published base salary and service increment rate at the time of
call-up, plus any merit increases or service increment changes which could be
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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that these referenced supplements are being
authorized only for those employees activated on or after September 11, 2001.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #01318
BY: Commissioner Ruel E. McPherson, District #25
RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT EFFORTS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF
MICHIGAN'S BORDER'S
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Americans
from all walks of life are stepping forward and providing unprecedented,
heroic service to their country in its time of extraordinary need; and
WHEREAS, many of them are working in vital but behind-the-scenes roles.
Nowhere is this spirit of heroic service better exemplified than in Southeast
Michigan, where officers from 33 law-enforcement agencies are working
virtually around the clock to help keep traffic moving safely and efficiently
at the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit and the Blue
Water Bridge in Port Huron; and
WHEREAS, without this local assistance, U.S. Customs and Immigration and
Naturalization Service (INS) agents would find it difficult – if not virtually
impossible – to prevent massive traffic backups at the busiest border-crossing
points between the United States and Canada; and
WHEREAS, the Customs and INS officials have sought emergency back-up
assistance. In response, 33 local law enforcement agencies are assisting
federal agents with vehicle inspections and security; and
WHEREAS, it is imperative the National Guard and local law enforcement
personnel remain on duty for the next 9 to 12 months, while permanent
replacements are trained and fully deployed to handle the heightened security
demands at our northern border; and
WHEREAS, while we applaud the efforts of these local agencies that are
volunteering 76 officers a day to supplement the INS and Customs staffing
shortages, we recognize that these efforts cannot continue without just
compensation; and
WHEREAS, the Detroit Regional Chamber’s Northern Border for Economic
Security and Trade (NBEST) supports earmarking $10 million in federal funds to
support these local law-enforcement agencies; and
WHEREAS, Canada is, by far, our nation’s biggest trading partner with $1
billion worth of goods crossing the U.S-Canadian border every day – 40 percent
of it through the Detroit Region. Any long-term disruptions to this flow would
undoubtedly have a serious negative impact on both our national security – and
the economic development, trade and tourism in Oakland County and throughout
southeast Michigan.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby support emergency funding for local law enforcement
agencies and the National Guard, allowing for their continued assistance in
maintaining a secure and efficient border system at the Ambassador Bridge,
Detroit Windsor Tunnel and the Blue Water Bridge.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT copies of this adopted resolution be sent to
President George W. Bush, Governor John Engler, the Michigan Delegation to the
state legislature and in Congress, Senator Carl Levin, the Michigan
Association of Counties, the National Association of Counties and Oakland
County's legislative lobbyists.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing Resolution.
