and improve our residential neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS in Miscellaneous Resolutions #81237 and #82233, the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners approved guidelines for administering the Home Improvement Program; and
WHEREAS annual rates of inflation and rising construction costs have reduced the
purchasing power of the $7,000 (plus 10% contingency) maximum home improvement loan amount set in
1981 and have eroded the Program's capacity to bring a house to a decent, safe and sanitary
condition; and
WHEREAS costs incurred to comply with additional federal and local rehabilitation
requirements have further reduced the scope of work that can be accomplished under the current
$7,000 (plus 10% contingency) maximum loan amount; and
WHEREAS. the Community Development Division recommends that the current maximum loan amount
of $7,000 (plus 10% contingency) be increased to $9,000 (plus 10% contingency) as a means to offset
negative economic and regulatory influences that have eroded the program's housing rehabilitation
capacity; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development Section 8 low and moderate income limits as the income eligibility criteria for
the Program; and
WHEREAS the Home Improvement Program income limits are periodically updated in accordance
with HUD's revisions of the Section 8 low and moderate income limits; and
WHEREAS the current Home Improvement Program eligibility criteria restrict eligible
homeowners to a maximum of $10,000 in liquid assets as established in 1976; and
WHEREAS the income generated through liquid assets is considered part of the base
household income used to determine eligibility; and
WHEREAS U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development and Michigan State Housing
Development Authority (MSHDA) regulations do not impose liquid asset limitations as a criterion for
qualifying homeowners for housing rehabilitation programs; and
WHEREAS the Community Development Division recommends that the $10,000 maximum liquid
asset limitation be eliminated from the guidelines; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Community Development Citizens Advisory Council by a roll call
vote of 12-0, have approved raising the maximum loan amount for each home improvement project from
$7,000 (plus 10% contingency) to $9,000 (plus 10% contingency) and deleting the liquid asset

IN RE: SUPPORT NB 5890 WITH AMENDMENTS - TIRE BURNING RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Federal Law requires that utility companies purchase electricity from certain
resource recovery facilities (RRF's) at prices or rates that reflect the utilities own fixed and
variable costs; and
WHEREAS the purchase price for such electricity varies greatly depending upon the utility
company's need for additional generating capacity; and
WHEREAS some Michigan utility companies have excess generating capacity at this time and
as a consequence, would not be required to include fixed or "avoided capacity" costs in their
purchase price computations; and
WHEREAS P112, 1989 of the public acts of the state of Michigan, in recognition of this
fact, requtred utility companies, with more than 500,000 customers, to purchase up to 120 megawatts
of capacity from RRF's which process qualified solid waste, at least 50.1% of which was generated in
the utility's service area; and
WHEREAS P112 further states that the Public Service Commission may assume that a Michigan
Utility Company needs capacity and include "avoided capacity" costs in the computed purchase price
of electricity supplied by RRF's; and
WHEREAS KB 5890 would mandate that Michigan utility companys purchase power from tire
burning RRFs, regardless of the source of such tires; and
WHEREAS such facilities would use a portion of the available 120 megawatts of capacity and
would effectively result in Michigan consumers and taxpayers subsidizing disposal of tires from out
of state, due to the premium electricity rates or "avoided capacity" cost payments required by PA2;
and
WHEREAS this situation can be remedied by capping the amount of Electric Generating
Capacity from tire burning facilities, on which the "avoided capacity" cost portion of the
electricity purchase price would apply, to 20 megawatts statewide and by assuring that fees charged

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Act 641 of 1978 requires that Michigan's counties prepare solid waste management
plans and that these plans be updated from time-to-time; and
WHEREAS responsible counties recognize the need for cooperating with the Michigan
Department of Natural Resources in moving forward, in a timely fashion, well integrated plans that
meet State goals and policies for a hierarchy of municipal solid waste reduction strategies; and
WHEREAS Michigan Department of Natural Resources Administrative Rules have basically
foreclosed the opportunity for Solid Waste Alternatives Program (SWAP) grant applications from
residents, businesses, cities, villages and townships in counties that do not yet have Act 641 Solid
Waste Plan Updates approved by the MDNR Director; and
WHEREAS many Counties have been struggling laboriously to develop solid waste plans that
meet or exceed Michigan's solid waste volume reduction goals to insure future minimization of
landfilling as well as to achieve a responsible usage of virgin resources; and
WHEREAS many of the Plan Updates have taken an inordinate amount of effort to produce a
final product that goes beyond the minimum requirements outlined in the State goals and policies;
and
WHEREAS in Counties that have adopted aggressive and far-sighted volume reduction goals,
the need is greatest for grant funding to implement advanced programs that will ultimately benefit
everyone in the State; and
WHEREAS Michigan Department of Natural Resources staff dedicated to the task of approving
the Act 641 Plan Updates and reviewing and approving grant applications have a work load that drain
resources needed to guarantee efficient, timely and equitable processing of the submitted documents;
and
WHEREAS present Administrative Rules for the SWAP grant applications have essentially
worked to the disadvantage of many Counties that have taken the time to develop responsible :future
solid waste goals and programs in their plan; and
WHEREAS the present rules and policies are counter productive towards allowing achievement
of the State's goals and volume reduction hierarchy.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners requests that the Governor and
Legislature intervene in the grant application process to enable all of Michigan's Counties that
have Act 641 Plan Updates which are both approved at the Board of Commissioners level and that
contain volume reduction goals and strategies that meet or exceed the State's goals, to apply for
the available grant monies in the current funding cycle; and
BE IT AlaNER RESOLVED that in addition to grant eligibility being extended to amities with Act 641 Plan
Updates approved by their County Board of Commissioners and which demonstrate volume reduction goals
and strategies meeting or exceeding the State's goals, that the grant application deadlines be
extended (after notification of the recommended rule changes) so that everyone in eligible Counties
is duly afforded the opportunity to submit proper grant applications and then be equitably
considered; and
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Governor,
Michigan's Legislature, SEMCOE, Michigan Association of Counties, Michigan Township Association,
Michigan Municipal League and to all Oakland County units of government.

IN RE: Solid Waste - URGE ELECTED OFFICIALS OF SOCRRA'S MEMBER COMMUNITIES TO ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE
IN ALL DECISIONS BY SOCRRA REGARDING THE PROPOSED INCINERATOR AND URGE SOCRRA TO CONSIDER ALTERNATE
SITES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the South. Oakland County Resource Recovery Authority (SOCRRA) continues to pursue
the construction of a new waste incinerator at the site of its old waste incinerator in Madison
Heights; and
WHEREAS the permit for said new waste incinerator is currently pending before the Michigan
Air Pollution Control Commission (APCC); and
WHEREAS during their meeting on July 31, 1990, various members of the APCC publicly stated
their concerns and thereafter unanimously ruled, among other decisions, that SOCRRA must document
the alternative sites they have considered; and
WHEREAS SOCRRA has not actively considered other potential sites and has shown no intent
to do so even after the APCC statement; and
WHEREAS the elected officials of the SOCRRA member communities have not actively
participated in SOCRRA meetings or deliberations; and
WHEREAS the projected costs of the incinerator in its proposed location have grown
substantially and will continue to do so; and
WHEREAS based upon the APCC public comments it appears unlikely that the APCC will issue a
permit for the incinerator at the Madison Heights' site; and
WHEREAS the citizens, the Mayor and City Council of the City of Madison Heights are
vehemently and steadfastly opposed to a new incinerator at this environmentally unacceptable,
location.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges all
elected officials of SOCRRA's member communities to actively participate in all future decisions by
SOCRRA regarding its proposed new incinerator and requests that said communities and SOCRRA
thoroughly evaluate appropriate alternate sites.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the elected
officials of each SOCRRA community and the Director of the Department of Natural Resources.
Mr. Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS NACo has recognized and encouraged community corrections and other alternative
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 30, 1990 310 .
sentencing programs and recognizes that real work for real pay can be a significant addition to the '
continuum of jail and prison alternatives; and
WHEREAS on any.given day there are more than one million people involuntarily confined in
local jails, 'state prisonsoand federal penitentiaries; and
WHEREAS a great majority of these inmates pass time in forced boredom while consuming
enormous public resources; and
WHEREAS a real work for real pay program in Oakland County may be a way of alleviating
boredom while providing productive rehabilitation for inmates; and
WHEREAS Sheriff Nichols has expressed his opposition to a real pay for real work program,
citing the potential for increased costs; and
WHEREAS while the Sheriff offers some valid concerns about increased costs of a real work
for real pay program, it seems reasonable to study this concept further and evaluate whether
whatever cost increases may be involved would be offset by the rehabilitation benefits of such
a program.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners appoint an ad
hoc committee, comprised of persons with jail management and finance expertise, to study the
feasibility of a real work for real pay program in Oakland County.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: AUTHORIZE COUNTY TO SUPPLEMENT PAY OF RESERVES CALLED TO ACTIVE MILITARY DUTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS thousands of reserves are being called to active duty as the Mideast Crisis
intensifies; and
WHEREAS persons activated for military service generally take a substantial pay cut and it
appears that the Mideast Crisis may continue for many months; and
WHEREAS it is likely that some of the people employed by Oakland County will be ordered to
active duty and be forced to take a considerable pay reduction in the process; and
WHEREAS those who are activated for military duty because of the Mideast Crisis face a
potentially dangerous experience and should not have to bear the additional burden of taking a pay
cut.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the
county to supplement the military pay of employees called to active duty so that they will receive
total pay equal to county compensation before leaving for military duty for the duration of the
Persian Gulf crisis.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
