of a local health department to be the primary organization responsible for the organization, co-
ordination and delivery of public health services and programs; and
WHEREAS, this bill contains other essential concepts that will favorably impact on the
citizens of Oakland County and the state; and
WHEREAS, your Committee concurs with the Health Division's recommendation that the Proposed

IN RE: MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #7933 - OAKLAND COUNTY POSITION AS TO STATE/LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH
RELATIONS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Your Committee has reviewed Resolution #7933, which supports the concept that a local health
department shall be considered the primary agency responsible for the organization, coordination, and
delivery of those public health services and programs in the areas served by the local health depart-
ment, and recommends that the subject resolution be adopted.
The General Government Committee, by Robert Page, Chairman, moves the acceptance of the

'Misc. 7933
By Dr. Montante
IN RE: OAKLAND COUNTY POSITION AS TO STATE/LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH RELATIONS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the development of policies and procedures intended to lead to a coordinated
statewide structure of public health services shall include mutual understanding and cooperation
of both state and local entities involved in the delivery of such service; and
WHEREAS, your committee concurs with the Health Division's position supporting 'Interim
Policy Guidelines for the Provision of Public Health Services by the State and Local Health Depart-
ments in Michigan"; and
WHEREAS, we direct particular emphasis to section 0-2 of this document which states:
D-2. The following principles should be used when determining the placement of respon-
sibility for delivery of standard public health programs or activities:
a. In general, the local health department jUrisdiction shall make provision for the
delivery of all public health services not otherwise available to people in their own community.
Three (3) considerations which may temper this generalization are:
(1) The local health department should have or be able to obtain qualified personnel -
to carry out the particular programmatic mechanisms to do so.
(2) It i5 recognized that some public health activities, though they be delivered within
the jurisdiction of a local health department, are so specialized and of such technical complexity
that neither cost-benefit nor cost-effectiveness can warrant administration through local health
departments. Such activities shall be conducted as a direct service of the Michigan Department of
Public Health. Such activities need not be carried out by the State in the same manner in all
jurisdictions, regardless of size. For example, local jurisdictions having sparse population may
not be able to conduct certain program activities while other larger local jurisdictions may be able
to do so.
(3) Legal constraints may preclude the assignment of the responsibility to local health
departments.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby supports
the concept that a local health department shall be considered the primary agency responsible for the
organization, coordination, and delivery of those public health services and programs in the area served
by the local health department.
The Health and Human Resources Committee, by Joseph R. Montante, Chairman, moves the adoption
of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL 4048
To the Oakland County Board. of Commissioners

WHEREAS, House Bill 4048 as introduced called for a primary election on the second Saturday
in September and this was later changed to the second Saturday in August in the House Elections
Committee, where the bill remains at the present time; and

primary, as is the argument by the bill's sponsors, but rather it is probable that voter turnout
would be decreased as a result of family outings, weekend camping trips and other similar summer
weekend activities; and

record in opposition to House Bill 4048 and the concept of a Saturday primary.

at the :expiration of authorized leave.
Attachment C
RULE 21 - MATERNITY LEAVE
REASON FOR CHANGE:
Current 30 days before, 30 days after delivery time-off requirements are
arbitrary and have a discriminatory effect against female employees. Many
pregnant employees cite the fact that their awn Physicians find them
physically capable of working up to the time of delivery and of returning
shortly after delivery and that their financial circumstances require that
they work beyond the current rule restrictions. Court decisions support
the proposed changes. In addition, it is likely that our current policy
of mandatory maternity leave will be officially treated as a layoff which
would qualify such employees for unemployment compensation under the
County's Unemployment Compensation Ordinance.

funds, and as collected shall be set aside into a fund to be designated "Receiving Fund," and shall

'Operation and Maintenance Fund,'' a sum sufficient to provide for the payment for the next quarter
of all current expenses of administration and operation of the system and such current expenses for

during the first six (6) nonths of each fiscal year, shall be not less than one-half (1/2) of the
total amount of interest maturing on the following July first, and during the last six (6) months of
each fiscal year, shall be not less than one-half (1/2) of the total amount of interest maturing
on the following January first, and the amount so set aside for principal on the bonds herein
authorized, in each quarter during each fiscal year, shall be not less than one-fourth (3e) of the
amount of principal maturing on the January first immediately following such fiscal year, and if
there shall be any deficiency in the amount previously set aside, then the amount of such deficiency
shall be added to the current requirement. In addition thereto, there shall be also set aside in
quarterly installments for the purpose of creating a reserve in said Bond and Interest Redemption
Fund, for the bonds herein authorized, a sum not less than $20,000 per year during each fiscal year
commencing with the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1978, until said reserve shall equal at least
$100,000, and if at any time thereafter said reserve shall be less than $100,000, then there shall

he set aside in said reserve quarterly sum sufficient to restore said reserve to 5100,000 at the
earliest possible time. If any additional bonds of equal standing shall be issued, the authorizing
ordinance shall provide for a comparable reserve therefor. Monies in the Bond and Interest Re-
demption Fund may be used for the redemption of bonds: provided, that except in case of refunding,
no bonds of any issue less than all the outstanding bonds of said issue, shall be called for re-
demption unless the county shall have on hand in said fund sufficient monies therefor not otherwise
appropriated or pledged, in excess of the amount of interest and principal maturing on all issues
of bonds then payable from the revenues of the system within the next eighteen (18) months from
the redemption date, and for the purpose of determining the amount on hand, monies in the reserve
shall not be considered as appropriated or pledged. In any case where monies are available for the
redemption of bonds, such monies may be used instead to purchase bonds on the open market at the
best price or prices obtainable, but not in excess of the then redemption price. When the principal
amount owing upon any bonds shall be reduced to the amount of the reserve therefor, then the principal
of such bonds shall be paid from such reserve_ In respect of the allocation and use of monies in the
Bond and Interest Redemption Fund, due recognition shall be given to priority rights, if any, be-
tween different issues or series of outstanding bonds.
3. Surplus Fund. Revenues remaining in the Receiving Fund at the end of any fiscal year
after all periodic transfers have been made therefrom as above required, shall be deemed to be sur-
plus and may be left in the Receiving Fund or may be transferred to a fund to be designated "Surplus
Fund," Monies in the Surplus Fund from time to time may be transferred to one or more of the fore-
going funds or may be used for any purpose connected with the Oakland-Pontiac Airport including the
redemption or purchase of bonds: provided, however, that if at any time there shall exist any de-
fault in making any periodic transfer to any of the above mentioned funds, then such default shall be
