IN RE: OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILLS 5128 and 5129, COMMUNITY PLACEMENT COSTS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in 1977 the State Department of Mental Health began establishing community place-
ment homes for mentally impaired and developmentally disabled residents with little or no not
to county governing bodies, thereby prohibiting proper consideration and inclusion in the
county budget process; and
WHEREAS the State Department of Mental Health now claims that county governments have a
retroactive liability for a share of the costs of these services, based upon the matching funds
I equirements of the Mental Health Code; and
WHEREAS this action of the State Department of Mental Health is contrary to the pro-
vision of the Uniform Budget Act which prohibits county governments from adopting deficit budgets
and requires strict adherence to the appropriations process; and
WHEREAS House Bill 5128 which has been introduced in the legislature would forgive the
portion of this implied retroactive liability applicable to the period prior to April 1, 1981; and
WHEREAS a companion bill, House Bill 5129, has also been in requiring that the
value of the for liability he counted as State spending paid to local units of government,
thus reducing the State deficit to local governments under the provisions of the Headlee Amendment
to the State Ccnstitution; and
WHEREAS the costs of community placement homes were not included as local programs in the
Headiee Amendment base year computation (Fiscal Year 1978-79), which established the State liability
to local governmental units.

REPORT
By Health and Human Resources Committee
IN RE: Resolutions from Occana County and Tuscola County Supporting House Bills 4749-51 (Funding
for Family Counseling)
To the General Government Committee
The Health and Human Resources Committee, having reviewed the resolutions from Oceana
County and Tuscola County, reports with the recommendation that the Oakland County Board of Com-
missioners oppose the concept of House Bills 4749-51.

By Mr. Olsen
IN RE: OPPOSITION TO THE CONCEPT OF ALTERING THE FUNDING SOURCE FOR FAMILY COUNSELING AS PROPOSED
IN HOUSE BILLS 4749-4751
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Public Act 128 of 1887 requires a $20 marriage license fee with $15 of this ear-
marked for the funding of family counseling services; and
WHEREAS a package of House Bills (4749, 4750 and 4751) would reduce the marriage license
fee to $5 and delete the for family counseling from the marriage license fee; and
WHEREAS this package of bills would amend the Revised Judicature Act to impose a $25 new
fee for the filing of a divorce action with the entire fee earmarked for family counseling services;
and
WHEREAS since the cost of a divorce action is already a serious financial burden to many
litigants, imposing an entirely new $25 obligation on this group while reducing the fee for marriage
licenses seems to be unrealistic.
NOW THEREFORE BF IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes the
concept of altering the funding source for family counseling when no justification for a change has
been demonstrated.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all legislators repre-
senting Oakland County and to the county's legislative agent.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the adoption of the
foregoing resolution.

REPORT
By Planning and Building Committee
IN RE: 1983 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PLAIINC AND BUILDING COMMITTEE
To the Oak1,7ind County Board of Commi -oners
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and GenC•
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 of the
buildings were visited on tours made throughout the ycar. On April 28, 1983, the Courthouse Complex
of buildings was inspected. On May 26, the Work. P--1-.:cer Facility and Trusty Camp were visited.
On Jute 16, aerial and ground inspections of both 0a1,1-ciPontiac and Troy/Oakland Airports were
made. Also, during the summer, the Law Enforcement Center was visited and, in pi)rtie.ilar, the
recently com7Irted multipurpose room. The September iOth Planning and Buildiel fos,i ting
was held in the Troy Street Building at which time both that building and the nei:,b!,orih:Pr 'al
Oak Markt, w. e inspected. Or Decend,..r 7, the Committee visited the North Offic ouilHo ,!, the
Social Sc- Cl- Building, and revisi-d the recently expanded Trusty Camp. In JLL,_ral, tpose
buildings visited were found to ft en and in good repair. Minor defects were brought to the
attention of staff and have been ,orr•zt,d, The balance of the report will be made upon conclusion
of the tours.
1903 has been a ye -r .ctive year, especially with jail -related projects. The installation
of improved lighting, two-way c mmunications, and a smoke detector system was completed in February.
The new gymnas;um was complc ' in May thereby allowing the . aner open courtyard to be used both
for indoor exercise and conta is Also, the True F -mip was doubled in capacity to 100
inmates. This project was auth,q-ized in July and, using "ra .-tracking" techniques, was completed
on time, under budget, and ready for occupancy in November. Under the direction of the Maintenance
Division, the shower room in the Work Release Facility was repaired and the dining area i.,M1 be re-
located to the basement. Also, at the behest of the Jail Study Sub-Committee, assistance was given
in estimating remodeling costs for various inmate housing proposals. Technical assistance is being
provided to the Sheriff's Department on the preparation of Lidding documents for the installation of
a TV system for the inmates. The system is scheduled for early 1984, Finally, bidding documents are
being prepared for a major reroofing of the entire Jail. It is expected tnat this work will be
accomplished in late spring, after the rainy season and under ideal conditions,
The remodeling of the Law Library was completed early in the year. By making use of office
space formerly occupied by the Prosecutor, additional shelving space was provided in the library
proper. This will provide storage for those books acquired over the next several years. Study
carrels were donated by the Oakland County Bar Association.
