received revenue and have provided necessary police, fire, and other public services at and near the

project, but rather a payment for services provided by the jurisdiction to the racetrack, as well as
a compensation for the burden of having a racetrack in the jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS the Governor of the State of Michigan has proposed that jurisdictions with
racetracks receive no parimutuel tax revenues from the 1991-92 State Budget; and, that said revenues
should be paid directly into the State's general fund; and

remove said jurisdictions from receiving parimutuel tax revenues in future years; and
WHEREAS a request has been made to the Attorney General of the State of Michigan for a
ruling as to whether the revenue constitutes a restricted fund which will continue to accumulate for
that purpose only, unless otherwise appropriated by the Legislature.

IN RE: 1991 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PLANNING AND BUILDING COMMITTEE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with Section "E" of Rule X of the Board Rules, your Planning & Building
Committee has begun its biennial inspection of County-owned buildings and grounds. On February 4,
1991, the North Office Building was inspected. That was followed by the Jail on February 22.
During March, the Service Center Health Center & Annex, the Executive Office Building, the two Jail
Satellite Buildings, and the Mental Health Center were visited. The Medical Care Facility, the
Service Center Farmers' Market, and the Public Works Building were toured in April. The Airports
were next in August and the Animal Care Center and the Trusty Camp were done in September. The
South Oakland Health Center was inspected in September. In October, the Work Release Facility was
visited and the year ended with a tour of the Youth Activities Center in November.
119
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 7, 1992
Copies of the individual building reports are on file with the Committee Reporter and are
available for inspection. The facilities visited were found to be clean and well maintained. Minor
deficiencies, if any existed, were brought to the attention of the appropriate staff for immediate
correction. The balance of the building condition report will be made upon conclusion of the
building tours in 1992.
Projects completed in 1991 include:
1. The construction of the new Materials Management Center.
2. The remodeling of the fourth floor of the Court Tower for two new circuit judges.
3. The construction of a new pole barn behind the Public Works Building for the
Grounds Unit of Facilities Maintenance and Operations.
4. The reroofing of the Youth Activities Center, the Animal Care Center, and the
Executive Office Building.
5. The construction of the new Computer Center.
6. Miscellaneous asphalt paving.
Projects begun in 1991 and expected to be completed in 1992 include:
1. Reglazing the Farmer's Market in Royal Oak.
2. Removal of an underground storage tank at the Road Commission's Davisburg
Garage.
3. An addition to the South Oakland Health Center.
4. Reroofing the Mental Health Center.
5. Improvements to the Trusty Camp kitchen.
6. The installation of a Courthouse security system.
In related activities, the Facilities Engineering Division provided engineering services
to both the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Airport Committee. Design services were
provided on the Parks Independence-Oaks Restroom Facility. Design services were also provided for
yet another bank of T-hangars at the Oakland/Pontiac Airport.
1992 is expected to be another active year. In addition to the usual reroofing and
asphalt resurfacing programs, we expect to begin a major construction effort to provide a relocated
Work Release Facility in unused space at the Social Services Building in Pontiac. We also expect to
have a central dispatch operation up and running in space formerly occupied by Computer Services in
the Administrative Annex I building. Finally, the Building Authority will have the West Wing
Extension out for bids by the end of the year. This building will provide a permanent home for the
Library functions as well as allowing the Prosecutor to be brought back on the campus.

$8,164
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 7, 1992 122

commensurate with the four-year step of the Staff Psychiatrist salary range of $45.94 per hour; and

Village will be sufficient to accommodate the PINE Staff Psychiatrist position (16501-07219) at the
four-year step of the corresponding salary range for 800 hours of service; and
WHEREAS this additional appropriation will provide more hours of psychiatric services (800
hours vs 766 hours) at a lower hourly rate than the current contracts provide for and will enhance
the quality of these services rendered to the residents of Children's Village and/or their parents
as assigned by Children's Village; and
WHEREAS the $57,000 or balance thereof, in CMH reserved for independent psychiatric
contracts should instead be earmarked for respite care within the Community Mental Health budget.

WHEREAS Act 293 of the Public Acts of 1966, as amended, provides for the establishment of

WHEREAS certain provisions of that Act relating to population requirements is so narrowly

IN RE: MENTAL HEALTH - EQUITY IN STATE FUNDING
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Governor, by Executive Order, has reduced Oakland County's Community
Mental Health Funds by 4.2%, which equates to not just a loss of $845,000, but the termination of
services for 844 Oakland County clients; and
WHEREAS the cessation of on-going treatment for many of these clients will necessitate
hospitalization at a State facility and will thereby negate much of the savings; and
WHEREAS the 4.2% reduction represents a much greater reduction in funding than that for
other counties within the State both by a much larger percentage reduction and by the fact that
Oakland does not have a full-management contract with the State that would provide any relief from
"trade-off" dollars; and
WHEREAS this untimely reduction further compounds the existing $16 million shortage in
Oakland County receiving its fair per-capita share of State Community Mental Health funding.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
urge the Governor to immediately review and rescind this devastating reduction in Oakland County's
community mental health funding.
