Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 20, 1975
Mr. Bernard F. Lennon presented the Democratic Caucus Minority Report on the Direction of
County Government for the Year 1975.
Mr. Chairman
Fellow Commissioners
Ladies and Gentlemen
In the past two years we have heard much talk but seen little action on the problems of the
people of Oakland County. The only new programs initiated have been the ones that have been federally
funded, Therefore, the Democrats on the Board of Commissioners hereby ask that immediate action be
taken on the following programs:
Oakland County is suffering one of its highest rates of unemployment in many years which is
principally due to the concentration of employment in the auto industry. We propose that the economic
coordinator in the Planning Department be reactivated to take positive and aggressive action to promote
and encourage diversified industry to locate in Oakland County.
Recognizing the fact that solid waste disposal has become an extremely crucial probic: in
Oakland County, and further recognizing that many governmental units do not have the resources to
implement their own solid waste programs, we urge that the County take a leadership role in coordinating
efforts of those units of government who wish to join in a united effort to solve the problems and
adopt a program that would call for a reduction and disposal of solid waste either by a recycling,
incineration or energy conservation process or by any combination of such processes thereby eliminating
go! lotion and diminishing the requirement for landfill needs.
Because of the shortage of Oakland County parks in South Oakland County, we urge that the
Board of Commissioners take aggressive action in working with the Parks and Recreation Commission in
the development of a Red Run County Park.
We urge permissive legislation for those counties operating under Public Act 139 to in-
corporate the functions of the Road Commission under the jurisdiction of the Board of Commissioners.
Also, we deMand the restructuring of the weight and gas tax formula to insure Oakland County's fair
share of the revenues derived from these taxes. We also urge that SEMTA guarantee public transporta-
tion to Oakland County residents at least equivalent to the portion of our taxes paid.
The Democratic 'CAUCUS is prepared to work with the Prosecutor, Courts and the Sheriff for
the implementation of more stringent law enforcement in Oakland County. We demand that the Judges
and correction officials in this County and State take off the kid gloves and treat the criminals
with firmness under the law.
On the decentralization of County services, service centers in the southern and western
parts of the County are a necessity, The aged, the poor and the young have little use for a County
Service Center that is almost inaccessible and far removed from the majority of people who use it
most. We urge that in 1975 rented space be acquired in the western portion of the County and in 1976
facilities be constructed for a southern service center on County-owned land.
In keeping with our goal to streamline County goVernment, we urge the abolishment of the
Drain Commissioners office and the merger of all the facilities of that office into the Department
of Public Works. flie Department of Public Works, after the merger, should be headed by An appointed
Public Works Director, a professional, appointed by the Board of County Commissioners, We ask this
Board to go on record in support of an amendment to Public Act 170 that will make opf ianal the appoint-
ment of A Public Works Director.
We recommend that the Board of Commissioners immediately begin a study of all County boards
and commissions to determine if their functions can be better performed by the Board of Commissioners,
thereby being more responsive to the needs of the people.
We also ask the County Executive to use the office of minority affairs to implement the
spirit as well as the letter of the law of the various resolutions pertaining to affirmative action
in personnel practices in Oakland County government.
One other area which greatly concerns us is our senior citizens. In President Ford's budget
message he eliminated $7.5 million for senior citizens programs. $50,000 that was coming into Oakland
County will now be lost. The void must be filled. This Board must be prepared to supplement our
senior citizen programs. We will not tolerate any cutting back on senior citizens programs.
Recognizing that delinquency among the youth of Oakland County is a problem which must be
dealt. with, we urge the Board of Commissioners to aid and assist progressive programs, whose main
objectives are to prevent delinquency among our youth before it occurs.
The Democratic Caucus is prepared to work with all members on the Board of Commissioners,
but today go on record as solidly united for the best interests of the citizens of Oakland County.
Thank you.

C.E.T.A. TIlIC H PRIVATE NON-PROFIT ACNNCY ALLOCATION BUDCET
COMMFNTS
On December 19, 1974, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners by
Miscellaneous Resolution 06927 approved a partial budget for private
non-profit agency particloation in C.E.T.A. Title lt. The agencies
approved are listed at items one thru eight on the attached budget.
The recommended agencies which are'listed -as itemssninethru thirteen
were recommended for funding by the Manpower Department after conFultation
with staff officials from the United Community Services and from the
Pontiac North Oakland United Way. The agency recommended prOvide direct
or indirect services (such as family, budget and legal advice and counseling
and It of the handicapped) which can be made available to C.E.T.A.
applicants, enrollees or members of their families. In addition, the
agencies selected appear to have the hest potential for absorbing the
positions if and when the federal funds are exhausted.
The attached occupational summary lists the positions that would be
established by the respected agencies.
A brief summary of each of the agencies follow
The jay Shop, Inc. is a. Michigan private non-:profit corporation which Is
presently located on the grounds Clinton Va1lev Center, The Jay Shop
provides a sheltered work shop for the mentally handicapped: utilizing
grants and both government and private sector contracts, it provides
training and employment opportunities for its program enrollees.
Oakland County Welfare Rights Organization is a Michigan private non-profit
corporation who's nrimary function is to provide counseling, advice as well as
functioning in an advocacy capacity for applicants and recipients of public
assistance benefits.
New Horizons is a Michigan private non-profit corporation which provides
a sheltered work shop experience for the physically handicapped. Similar
to the Jay Shop, New Horizons relies upon grants and public and private
contracts to provide training and employment for its enrollees.
Oakland County Legal Aid Society is a Michigan private nensprofit corporation.
This agency has experienced a tremendows increase in requests for services
over the past several months. These requests are substantially the result
of the rising unemployment ft Oakland County. The additional funding for
this agency will allow for expanding the services available to C.E.T.A.
applicants, enrollees and their families.
The Oakland-Livingston Human Service Agency is a Michigan public corporation
and the successor to the Oakland County CoMmission on Economic Opportunity.
The recommended C.E.T.A. Title lf funds to be allocated to this agency will.
be issued for a home winterization and insulation program which will be
carried out under the direction of the Oakland-Livingston Human Service
Agency staff. The 01,11SA has been able to secure operational equipment and
material funds both from the Michigan Department of Social Services and
from an Oil. P. grant.
In general, the funds recommended for the above listed agencies will allow
the agency to expand and the staff to either (1) expand their case load
(2) expand services, to add new services or (3) reduce the staff worker
case loads so as to provide more efficient and effective service to the
community

PROPOSAL. TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
FOR THE
1976 BI-CFNTENNIAL CELEBRATION
Backgeound:
Oakland County is recognized throughout the region for its rapid growth, progressive
institutions, enlightened citizenry and, In the field of culture, its great variety of art exhibits,
lectures, concerts and classes in the fine and performing arts, Individually, many of these attract-
Ions have wide appeal, for example, the Meadowbrook festivals, Cranbrook Institutions, Pine Knob
Music Theater and various local art and cultural activities.
However, these existing activities continue to struggle for survival, rather than expanding
to keep pace with growing demand. Money -- or lack of it -- is at the root of some of these problems.
Equally important, however, although less tangible, is the absence of official recognition, public
awareness and county-wide organization and endorsement of cultural activities.
Pr92.9',3 9 1 :
The 1976 Bi-Centennial celebration gives the Board of Commissioners a unique opportunity to
create a County Cultural Council. The result of a successful Bi-Centennial program year will be the
recognition of Oakland County as the cultural center of the region. In addition, the Council will
have taken an important step toward a successful future.
The Council would be formed by an appropriate resolution adopted by the Board of Commissioners,
The Chairman of the Board would appoint, with the consent of the Commission, a 15 member Council.
Represented on this Council would be delegates from existing art and cultural organizations, schools,
private industry and individual citizens,
Initially, the Council's activities will be centered around the promoting of cultural
activities in the county during the Bi-Centennial Celebration. Future projects to be considered by
the Council might includeefforts to obtain funding under the Federal Endowment of the Arts and Michigan
State Council of the Arts programs; the use of public facilities and college campuses as meeting
places for art and other cultural associations; and the use of the County buildings as art galleries
to brighten the Service Center as well as provide • a showcase for the talents of county residents.
Examples of short term goals include a calendar of events, artist registry, greater utilization of
the staff personnel at Oakland University, and open communication lines with County cooperation.
Another result of the Council's success would be the increased attendance at existing
cultural events and, at the same time, increased funding for these events. In addition, increased
communication among those sharing mutual problems and experiences will eliminate many program failures
and increase constructive and creative thinking.
Financial Considerations:
Upon the formation of the Council, it is recommended that a present County staff person be
assigned on a part-time basis to assist the Council in preparation of the meeting agenda, materials,
and in the planning of programs.

Commissioners Minutes Continued, February 20, 1975
Conclusion.
With a minimal expenditure of funds, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners can create
a permanent memento of the 1976 Bi-Centennial celebration. The results of the program will affect
not only those concerned with cultural activities but, in addition, business enterprises whose
employees seek a better life style and the tourist industry so vital to the economy of Oakland County.
