WHEREAS the governance of public institutions should be based on the guiding principles of integrity,
legitimacy, fiduciary responsibility, accountability, as well as fair and equitable representation; and
WHEREAS currently the Detroit Water Board is composed of seven members, appointed by the Mayor of
the City of Detroit, that includes four Detroit representatives and one member (appointed by the Mayor of
Detroit) each from Oakland, Wayne and Macomb Counties; and
WHEREAS the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (“DWSD”) serves 126 suburban communities in

law, breaches of the orders of the court, breaches of contract, and abuses by the existing governing
structure; and
WHEREAS in 2010 the State of Michigan again issued a notice of violation of the federal Clean Water Act

WHEREAS recent indictments of the former Detroit City Mayor Kilpatrick and former DWSD Director

WHEREAS from time-to-time, legislation has been introduced with the intent to try address the concerns

Mayor of the City of Detroit (or his designee), the Public Works Commissioner of Macomb County, the

WHEREAS that the IRMC will provide a short term governing structure that will restore confidence to the
region, providing appropriate oversight, greater accountability, cost savings, transparency and efficiencies
for all of the rate payers within the region.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the
Water Resources Commissioner in his request to the federal court in the formation of a Interim Regional
Management Committee (“IRMC”) comprised of the Mayor of the City of Detroit (or his designee), the
Public Works Commissioner of Macomb County, the Water Resources Commissioner of Oakland County,

BY: Commissioner David Woodward, District #18
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE PRESERVATION AND
PROTECTION THE MICHIGAN EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a refundable tax credit for low to moderate
income workers. For tax year 2010, the maximum federal EITC for a person or couple without qualifying
children is $457, with one qualifying child is $3,050, with two qualifying children is $5,036, and with three
or more qualifying children is $5,666; and
WHEREAS the EITC was cited by President Ronald Reagan as “the best anti-poverty bill, the best pro-
family measure, and the best job creation program ever to come out of the Congress of the United States;
and
WHEREAS Michigan adopted a state Earned Income Tax Credit for the 2009 tax year which provides a
credit equivalent to 20% of the federal EITC but is not refundable; and
WHEREAS 800,000 lower-income working families claim the Michigan EITC; and
WHEREAS in 2006 nearly 54,000 Oakland County working families received $92 million in EITC to help
afford basic family needs; and
WHEREAS using 2006 estimates, those same working families received more than an additional $18
million in tax relief via the Michigan Earned Income Tax Credit to help meet family needs; and
WHEREAS some members of the Michigan Legislature are proposing to raise taxes on nearly 800,000
lower income working families and their children by $330 million; and
WHEREAS by eliminating the EITC, the average tax hike on poor families will be $400. Meanwhile, a
family with a taxable income of $500,000 is going to get a tax cut of $500 from a scheduled income tax
cut taking effect October 1, 2011; and
WHEREAS without the EITC, an estimated 14,000 children in working families will be plunged into
poverty and hurt children in 800,000 families; and
WHEREAS studies show about 20 percent of adults who spend more than three years in poverty as a
child will not receive a high school diploma. Michigan needs policies that create more college graduates –
not more high school dropouts; and
WHEREAS when a family receives its Michigan EITC check – which averages about $400 -- it is spent
quickly on home repairs, auto repairs (helping ensure working families can get to work), children's needs,
heating and lighting bills, and other local purchases; and
WHEREAS Patrick L. Anderson, of the Anderson Economic Group, stated in a report that called the EITC
an effective piece of public policy; and
WHEREAS the Michigan League of Human Services, the Michigan Catholic Conference, and a growing
number of other organizations are forming a coalition to preserve and protect the Michigan Earned
Income Tax Credit; and
WHEREAS the EITC is most often claimed by people who are waitresses, janitors, grocery cashiers, child
care aides, nursing home workers, cooks, farm and agricultural processing workers, dishwashers and
others who work hard and long hours at low-paying jobs. It is only available to those who work.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – REGIONAL WATER COLLABORATION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County Water Resource Commissioner has filed a motion in federal court requesting
that control of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) be transferred to an interim regional
management committee; and
WHEREAS the membership of this proposed regional management committee would include the Mayor
of the City of Detroit, the Macomb County Public Works Commissioner, the Oakland County Water
Resources Commissioner, the Director of Wayne County’s Department of Environment, and a
representative chosen by the court; and
WHEREAS the Detroit water system has been under judicial oversight since the 1970s; unfortunately this
oversight has not been successful in erasing systemic deficiencies, multi-million dollar contracts for
consultants and allegations of impropriety; and
WHEREAS regional collaboration would be a far more productive and cost effective approach to
addressing DWSD operations, by providing for the open and transparent exchange of information, without
the expensive and time consuming intervention through the courts in an adversarial environment; and
WHEREAS Detroit Mayor Dave Bing and Detroit Councilman Gary Brown, have requested an opportunity
to work together with regional leaders to address the issues within the Detroit Water and Sewerage
Department; and
WHEREAS reinventing the Detroit metropolitan region requires each of us to refocus our energies and
work in collaboration to seek successful solutions and sustainable positive results for the betterment of
Oakland County, the City of Detroit and the entire southeast Michigan region; and
WHEREAS with the elected officials from the City of Detroit and the Counties of Wayne, Oakland and
Macomb working in partnership, all of our constituents will benefit from our combined skill, knowledge,
and innovation. This enhanced productivity and efficiency can transform the operations, quality and
performance of a vital regional resource – the water system; and
WHEREAS if regional leaders earnestly engage in respectful dialogues and cooperate to seek strategic
solutions, the governance and operations of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department has a realistic
opportunity to achieve the highest standard of excellence, innovation and quality. An opportunity that is
lost in an adversarial contest that is entangled in endless and costly litigation.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, hereby urge
the elected leaders of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb County and the State of Michigan to work with the
elected leaders of the City of Detroit to seek common solutions relative to issues facing the Detroit Water
and Sewerage Department.

Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the impact of international trade on the economies of the United States and Canada cannot
be overstated. Millions of jobs in both countries are supported as a direct result of our two countries
sharing the world’s largest and most comprehensive trading relationship; and
WHEREAS Canada/U.S. trade plays a significant role in the economies of both countries. It supports
more than two million Canadian jobs and 7.1 million U.S. jobs, including approximately 221,500 jobs in
Michigan; and
WHEREAS Michigan accounts for more than half of the total U.S. trade with Canada with almost all of

approving the Detroit River International Crossing (DRIC) – a new border crossing between the U.S. and
Canada. This means that the DRIC has received all required federal approvals not only in the US but also
in Canada; and
WHEREAS the project would link Ontario's Highway 401 and Michigan's I-75 by building a publicly owned
six-lane span over the Detroit River between Detroit's industrial Delray neighborhood near Zug Island and
Windsor's Brighton Beach area; and
WHEREAS the four partner agencies on the project are MDOT, U.S. Federal Highway Administration,
Transport Canada and Ontario's Transportation Ministry; and
WHEREAS the Canadian government has offered to advance Michigan up to $550 million towards the
construction of the non-toll financed improvements associated with the DRIC; and
WHEREAS Governor Snyder fully supports this project and worked with MDOT Director Kirk Steudle to
negotiate an agreement with the US DOT to allow the $550 million to be used to match other federal road
funds. This means that MDOT would be able to match all available federal funds if an agreement on the
DRIC can be reached; and
WHEREAS the preferred construction and operation financing plan is for the private sector to build and
operate the bridge, and it would collect tolls to pay its costs. The governments would jointly own the
bridge; and
WHEREAS estimates are that this project will create 10,000 direct jobs associated with the construction
of the DRIC and help retain another 25,000 jobs in Michigan and draw about 3,500 jobs into Southeast
Michigan from outside the state; and
WHEREAS SEMCOG has included the DRIC as part of the adopted long-range transportation plan –
Direction2035.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #11034
BY: Commissioner Robert Hoffman, District #2
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR LEGISLATION REFORM ON FILLING
COUNTY COMMISSIONER VACANCIES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Public Act 261 of 1966, provides that when a seat on the Board of Commissioners becomes
vacant in an odd numbered year, that vacancy shall be filled by a special election regardless of whether
the Board of Commissioners has made an appointment to fill the vacancy; and
WHEREAS the costs associated with holding Special Elections are generally not anticipated in the
budgets of the affected local governments and thereby pose an unanticipated financial hardship on the
impacted communities; and
WHEREAS Michigan law currently provides that vacancies in offices of elected bodies, such as county-
wide, township, city and school board officers, shall be filled by an appointee who serves until the next
regularly scheduled general election; and
WHEREAS filling a vacancy in the office of County Commissioners created in an odd-numbered year is
an unreasonable exception in the law in that it requires unscheduled special elections to be held; and
WHEREAS Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds Bill Bullard, Jr. has requested Michigan legislators
to consider amending the state law to make the appointment and vacancy procedure for a County
Commissioner consistent with the current law governing other local officials; and
WHEREAS it would be both reasonable and prudent to save taxpayers dollars and lessen the burden on
local governments by enacting legislation that makes the process for filling vacancies in the office of
County Commissioners consistent with other local offices.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, hereby
proclaim its support for the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds Bill Bullard, Jr. and his effort to seek
a change in Michigan’s law relative to requiring a special election, if a vacancy occurs in the office of
County Commissioners in an odd-numbered year.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the Michigan
Legislature to adopt and Governor Snyder to enact legislation that makes the process for filling vacancies
in the office of County Commissioners consistent with other local offices that allow an appointed
replacement to serve until the next general election.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk is requested to forward copies of this
adopted resolution to Governor Snyder, the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature, the
Michigan Association of Counties and Oakland County’s legislative lobbyists.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – RECOGNIZING THE “GO RED FOR WOMEN” CAMPAIGN
IN OAKLAND COUNTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the American Heart Association reports that more women die of cardiovascular disease and
stroke than the next four causes of death combined, including all forms of cancer; and
WHEREAS heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of women, taking the life of 1 in 3 women each year – this
is nearly 500,000 American women; and
WHEREAS to dispel the myths and raise awareness of heart disease as the number one killer of women,
in 2004, the American Heart Association created Go Red For Women – a passionate, emotional, social
initiative designed to empower women to take charge of their heart health and to educate women about
heart disease and its prevention; and
WHEREAS Go Red for Women is the American Heart Association's nationwide movement that celebrates
the energy, passion and power we have as women to band together and fight heart disease, the No. 1
killer of American women; and
WHEREAS Oakland County is supporting “Making It Your Mission” to fight heart disease and supporting
Go Red For Women’s mission to stop heart disease in our lifetime; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Executive’s administration invited employees to participate in the fight
against heart disease by wearing red for women on Friday, February 4, 2011.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, hereby
proclaims its support for the “Go Red for Women Day” in Oakland County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners applauds the initiative of
the Oakland County program in encouraging Oakland County employees to support the fight against
heart disease by wearing red for women on Friday, February 4, 2011, and making a voluntary $1.00
donation to the American Heart Association.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners proudly thanks
employees and citizens who wore red in recognition of family, friends, and neighbors who have suffered
from heart disease and as a show of support to fight this deadly disease. By working together to increase
awareness about the risk factors for this devastating disease and taking actions to reduce them, we can
save thousands of lives each year.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
