this project to the Oakland County Community Mental Health Services Board; and
WHEREAS the in-service project would be tailored to the needs of Oakland County Community
Mental Health staff and would include continued training of therapists via individual supervision,
case consultations and clinic seminars; and

CONTRACT HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE MICHIGAN PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS an Act 641, Public Acts of 1978, Solid Waste Management Plan for Oakland County
was approved locally and by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources in July 1983; and
WHEREAS the central feature of that plan is a waste-to-energy facility to minimize the
reliance on the use of sanitary landfills; and
WHEREAS the waste-to-energy facility will burn municipal solid waste and generate
electricity which will be sold to an electric utility; and
WHEREAS in the financing of waste-to-energy facilities, prospective bond purchasers
require solid contracts guaranteeing the payment of certain rates for the sale of electrical energy
to utilities; and
WHEREAS in annual rate cases before the Michigan Public Services Commission various
groups have now threatened or begun to challenge these contracts by trying to prohibit the utility
from recovering from their rate payers the amounts they pay under such contracts; and
WHEREAS if this practice would actually occur it would threaten the financial well being
of a waste-to-energy facility and its anticipated revenues, thereby resulting in extra costs to its
users or even create a climate in which prospective bond purchasers would refuse to make the
investment; and
WHEREAS once a contract is entered into between an owner/operator of a waste-to-energy
facility and a electric utility company providing for the purchase of electrical energy and that
contract has been approved by the Michigan Public Service Commission, it is essential that the
contract and its rates not be challensable in later years; and
WHEREAS House Bill 4478 by the amendment of section 6j of Act No. 3 of the Public Acts of
1939, will serve to continue the Michigan Public Service Commission approved rates in later years.
