IN RE: COMPREHENSIVE COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS PLAN - STATE CONDITIONAL APPROVAL NOT ACCEPTED
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS by Miscellaneous Resolution #92067, adopted May 7, 1992, the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners adopted the Comprehensive Community Corrections Plan in accordance with PA 511 of
1988, as amended; and
WHEREAS the State Office of Community Corrections has advised Oakland County's Community
Corrections Board that the State is offering conditional approval of the County's Plan contingent
upon the County amending its Plan to: 1) delineate that the reductions in jail beds due to the
community corrections efforts, estimated at 63 beds per day be utilized, to reduce admissions to
state prison, and 2) that the County specify its intentions with regard to the two existing
residential centers including target populations and program eligibility criteria; and
WHEREAS Oakland County's prison commitment rate is and has been substantially below the
state average partially because we have chosen to rent space from other counties rather than
increase the State's burden, and under our adopted plan our prison commitment rate should continue
to be below the state average, thus providing a benefit to the state prison system by continued
below average prison utilization; and
WHEREAS our County Plan further addresses our intention to continue the residential
centers at their current state-funded levels with no change in their existing target populations or
eligibility criteria; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has acted in good faith and believes
that its plan, as submitted, is acceptable and should not be further amended.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Community Corrections Advisory Board
be directed to inform the Michigan State Community Corrections Advisory Board that the terms of the
State's conditional approval are not acceptable and that all efforts towards gaining adoption of the
Oakland County Community Corrections Plan, contingent on these proposed amendments, be suspended,
until or unless otherwise directed by the Board of Commissioners.
