To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The General Government Committee, having reviewed the above referenced resolution, reports
with the recommendation that the resolution be adopted with the following amendment:
change the first WHEREAS paragraph to read, "the Director of the Michigan
Department of Mental Health has reduced Oakland County's Community Mental
Health funds by 4.2, which equates to not just a loss of $845,000 but the

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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this resolution be forwarded to the
Governor, Oakland County's Legislators, Oakland County's Legislative Agent and the Oakland County
Community Mental Health Board.
Mr. Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

WHEREAS Oakland County, along with the Department of Social Services and private agencies,
currently participates in a thorough training program for foster homes; and
WHEREAS the County is not involved in the formal training of either adoptive parents or
court-appointed guardians nor is the County required to take on this responsibility; and
WHEREAS it seems reasonable that Oakland County should expand its scope of parental
training by becoming involved in working with adoptive parents and court-appointed guardians to the
same extent as with foster parents.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the
concept of expanding its present involvement in foster parent training to also include training of
adoptive parents and court-appointed guardians.
