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.

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: The Personnel Committee, having reviewed MR #01269 on October 31, 2001, recommends the resolution be amended as follows and adopted: The NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT paragraph to read “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 as a result of September 11th act of terrosim agianst the United States,so that they will receive total pay equal to their “normal”County compensation retroactive to the date of their military call- up.” Remove the word “normal”in the two places it appears in the first BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT paragraph.

PERSONNEL COMMITTEE FISCAL REPORT (MISC. #01269) BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, SUE ANN DOUGLAS, CHAIRPERSON 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. FINANCE COMMITTEE Commissioners Minutes Continued.

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.

Public Act 381 of 1996, as amended, authorizes municipalities to create Brownfield Redevelopment Authorities (BRA) to assist in the development of Brownfield plans and promote the revitalization of environmentally distressed areas. 2. Formal creation of a BRA is mandatory to allow access to certain funding sources, and essential to benefit from such an opportunity. 3.

As a result of reforms in Public Act 123 of 1999, Oakland County may involuntarily come into possession of distressed properties. 5. The development of such properties in BRA’s will allow the County to coordinate efforts with the delinquent tax reversion process to identify, assess and market tax reverted properties for redevelopment, resulting in a higher utilization of these properties. 6. MCL 125.2654 provides for a governing body, by resolution, to create and provide for the operation of a Brownfield Authority. 7. A public hearing on the adoption of a proposed resolution creating a BRA within Oakland County will be held on November 29, 2001 at 9:45 a.m. in the Board of Commissioners Auditorium, 1200 N.

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. RUEL E. MCPHERSON Commissioners Minutes Continued.
