IN RE: (SUPPORT) PENALTY INCREASE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE OPERATOR FLEEING POLICE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS a driver of a motor vehicle who attempts to flee or elude a law enforcement
officer after being directed to stop is guilty of a misdemeanor; and

life-threatening "hot pursuit" at high speeds, it seems that stricter penalties are needed to induce
greater deterrence from this violation.

amendments to Section 479 a. of Act No. 328 of the Public Acts of 1931, as amended, to: (1)

REPORT
By Planning and Building Committee
IN RE: 1989 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 and Building
Committee has begun its biennial inspection of County-owned buildings and grounds. Several
buildings were visited on tours made throughout the year. On February 21, 1989, the Executive
Office Building was inspected. On April 11, the Committee toured the Health Center, Health Center
Annex, and Medical Care Facility. On June 6, the Central Heating Plant, the Jail satellites at the
D & L Buildings, and the main Jail were visited. The Committee inspected the Animal Care Center
and the Trusty Camp on July 25. The Work Release Facility and the Pontiac Market were next on
September 19. Individual Committee members were assigned specific buildings. These include the
Public Works Building by Commissioner' Crake on November 2; the Mental Retardation Center by
Commissioner Hobart on November 21; the Courthouse by Commissioner Ferrens on November 28; the
South Oakland Health Center by Commissioner Chester on November 29; and the Oakland/Troy Airport by
Commissioners Oaks and McConnell on December 4. In general, those 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 1990.
1989 was an active year. The construction of the Jail was completed and the facility was
occupied in February. Space is available for 488 additional prisoners in 244 cells. The project
also included extensive remodeling in the existing Jail and improvements to the kitchen to handle
the additional demand.
Design of the new Computer Center was completed and the project was put out for bids.
Although a construction contract was not awarded in 1989, it is expected that such a contract will
be in place in 1990 and that ground will be broken early that year. The construction effort is
expected to last 500 calendar days and the new computer facility is tentatively scheduled for
occupancy in July of 1991.
Work on the Courthouse Master Plan also continues. A Task Force of Elected Officials was
assembled with the mission of bringing the Courthouse Addition project in at a cost not to exceed
$80,000,000. As of year end, the Task Force was well on its way to that goal. A final report on
the scope and cost of the project will be presented to the Board in early 1990. Assuming the
report is accepted, the design of the addition could then proceed.

also furnished for a new bank of T-hangars at the Oakland/Pontiac Airport. Additionally, testing
and inspection services were performed for the new Crash/Fire/Rescue Building which is also located
at Oakland/Pontiac.
1990 also promises to be an active year. Major projects anticipated are the temporary
