IN RE: CHILDREN'S VILLAGE, PROVISION OF PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners, on December 12, 1991, amended the 1992 Budget to
authorize the creation of one PINE governmental Staff Psychiatrist position (16501-07219) in the
Administrative unit of Children's Village; and
WHEREAS an appropriation was authorized for salary and fringe benefit costs in the amount
of $32,153, providing for 800 hours of service at $37.12 per hour, which is the base step of the
corresponding salary range; and
WHEREAS concurrently, $57,000 of the Appropriation Contingency account in the 1992
Community Mental Health budget was earmarked for contractual arrangements with independent
psychiatrists to provide psychiatric services at Children's Village at the hourly rate of $74.41,
resulting in 766 hours of service; and
WHEREAS several independent psychiatrists, due in large part to the ever-rising cost of
malpractice insurance, have expressed their interest in filling a PINE position with an hourly rate
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 11, 1992 166
commensurate with the four-year step of the Staff Psychiatrist salary range of $45.94 per hour; and
WHEREAS a $8,164 increase in appropriations in the Administrative Unit of Children's
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/cr 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.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes a
change in the salary level of the PINE Staff Psychiatrist position (16501-07219) from the base step
to the four-year step of the salary range for the Staff Psychiatrist position as follows:

Merit System Rules as adopted in MR 4606 and subsequent amendments.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all independent psychiatrists currently under contract to
provide psychiatric services at Children's Village be provided written notification of contract
termination, in accordance with the termination provisions as stated in the contract, in a timely
manner commensurate with filling the PINE Staff Psychiatrist position so that no disruption of
psychiatric service occurs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the balance of the $57,000 in the CMH budget for psychiatric
services at Children's Village be earmarked instead for developmentally disabled and mentally ill
respite care services, provided by Community Mental Health, upon filling of the Staff Psychiatrist

Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: OAKLAND COUNTY 641 SOLID WASTE PLAN
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS almost $15,000,000 of taxpayer's money has been utilized for the development of
the Solid Waste Plan, including over $1,000,000 that is to be paid to now-withdrawn incinerator
vendor Westinghouse, and $159,900 for a public relations campaign; and•
WHEREAS there has not been a sufficient favorable response from the County's 61 local
governmental units to requests for approval of the Intergovernmental Agreement; and
WHEREAS much of the opposition to the solid waste plan appears to be premised upon the
County's proposed implementation of the Waste-to-Energy incineration component of the plan; and
WHEREAS the solid waste plan also, however, includes plans for recycling and composting;
and
WHEREAS a report was made to the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, the "Final Report,
October 1989, Material Recovery Strategies for Oakland County," prepared by Resource Recycling
Systems, Inc. would, if implemented, allow plans for recycling to go forward.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners agrees to stop
any further consideration of an incinerator for Oakland County, and to fully implement the "Final
Report of the October 1989, Materials Recovery Strategies for Oakland County," prepared by Resource
Recycling Systems, Inc., including subsequent modifications reflecting current state-of-the-art
otherwise consistent with its conceptual scheme.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: PETITION FOR AMENDMENT TO PAROLE BOARD STATUTES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS for the past two years, Southeastern Michigan has been ravaged by the most heinous
crimes of a paroled rapist -- a parolee who is representative of a justice system which has gone
awry; and
WHEREAS Michigan's Prison Parole system has fundamentally failed to protect innocent
victims from known criminal psychopaths; and
WHEREAS our current system of granting parole, and the parole board itself, is in need of
immediate restructuring and constricting.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
urgently request the Michigan State Legislature, through the amendment of the statutes governing
parole, take action to insure that the safety of Michigan's citizens is not jeopardized by the
early return of violent felons to our communities; such action should include restructuring of the
Parole Board to provide more diverse composition and the elimination of Civil Service status for
Parole Board members; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a moratorium be placed on granting parole to anyone imprisoned
for violent crime, while this amendatory legislation is being formulated.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the Governor, the
