TOWNSHIP OF OAKLAND - OAKLAND COUNTY, MICHIGAN
It having been brought to the attention of the Oakland Township Board of Trustees that the
Oakland County Board of Commissioners has requested, by and through its Planning Director, George Skrubb,
and Robert Allen, its corporation counsel, that proposed legislation be drafted which would appear to
permit and authorize the Oakland County Planning Director, Oakland County Coordination Zoning and Planning
Committee and/or Oakland County Commissioners to proceed to plan for, acquire, finance and develop "New
Towns" or "Paired Cities" within Oakland County and the greater Oakland County Metropolitan area; and
further, that such legislation would appear to provide for the exemption and/or removal of such proposed
"New Towns" or "Paired Cities" and areas thereof involved from:
(a) the tax rolls of the communities involved:
(b) the control of the constituted political subdivision presently required to provide the
normal and necessary zoning and planning pursuant to Act 183 of P.A. of 1943, and deprives such communities
of the individual prerogatives of self-determination; that in connection therewith, there appears to be
no provision for the incorporation of a municipal corporation as presently provided for and required by
law and/or the providing for the necessary fire and police protection as well as other community services
necessary to support a community as apparently envisioned as a "New Town" or "Paired City" such as water,
sewers, schools recreation, library and other services necessary to the health and welfare of a develop-
ed high density community.
Such proposals as recently published in the Pontiac Press would appear to be an attempt by
certain portions of the Oakland County Government to go beyond and contrary to the letter and spirit of
the County Home Rule enabling legislation Act 293 of P.A. of 1966 (MCLA 45.501), in that there is an
apparent attempt to gain authority for and in the Oakland County Planning Director at the expense of the
Township units of Government, as provided by law, and without the consent of either the population thereof
or the lawfully constituted Governments thereof, which would in effect:
(1) deny the right of the citizens of the Townships of this County to effect the orderly
development of their community pursuant to their own needs, desires, and abilities, and contrary to the
individual self-determination of such communities;
(2) remove from the tax rolls, properties which presently generate revenues in support of
all units of Government, Township, School, County, and special tax districts, which are now desperately
needed to ensure the continued orderly development of the total community; and
(3) transfer from the legally constituted Governments, the powers and duties necessary to
ensure continued orderly development of a political community, as provided pursuant to Act 183 of P.A. of
1943, and vest same in an appointed non-responsive County official who is not politically responsible to
the citizens of the area affected.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland Township Board of Trustees, the duly elected
and constituted Government for the Township of Oakland, be of record as opposing any form of legislation
which would tend to diminish the ability of the citizens of said Township by and through their duly elect-
ed political and governmental officials to assert their rights of self-determination as to the planning
and development of their community, to determine and have assessed equally among their Township the taxes
to generate revenues necessary to support their community and services required for an orderly society,

Research Data Team
Field Supervisor
Field Coordinator
Field Coordinator
Field Coordinator
The Research Data Team will operate under the supervision of the Division of Special Services,
Its function will vary, on the basis of demand and priority, as it serves in support of the total depart-
mental operation.
The multiple programs currently established in the many communities of the county and the
individual projects of the three divisions of the department have become widespread and continue to grow
into multi-operational fields.
The Research Data Team will perform the following functions:
PROGRAM DATA COMPUTATION
Assemble, compute and report statistical information gathered from community programs so that
it may be evaluated in monitoring the operational success of such programs. Gather and report other
designated information that will assist in determining future program needs and/or appropriate changes
in approach and implementation.
TEACHING AND TRAINING AIDS
Assist in gathering and evaluating reported research, training and teaching aids and drug
related information to be used in community education workshops and teacher in-service education programs.
RESEARCH FOR NEWSLETTER PUBLICATIONS
The result cf researching materials, techniques and program implementation from multiple
sources will allow the compiling of information that will be published in newsletter form, monthly, to
assist in the awareness of satellite center coordinators and the medical community.
RESEARCH FOR MANUAL PUBLICATIONS
The Research Data Team will assemble and assist in the evaluation of materials to be used in
the construction of training and educational manuals published by this department in assistance to the
law enforcement community and the general public.
SURVEYS AND STUDIES
Surveys and studies designed to supply this department and its respective coordinated programs
with pertinent information to assist in the identification and analysis of specific problem areas will be
conducted by the Research Data Team. Such areas to be covered in this effort include the many school
_di-strict-s„ the medical comun+ly, the law enforcement torminity7-The tbürt systems, current treatment
and rehabilitation facilities and industry.
IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS OF DANGEROUS SUBSTANCE
Through contract with personnel in the school districts, community programs, law enforcement
agencies, the medical community and the general public members of the Research Data Team will come in
contact with physical substances of abuse. Samples of same will be secured for identification and
analysis. The result of these findings will be used in determining what substances are currently found
in abuse, in what forms, and by what classes of people. Such information is to be used in preventive
education and to identify potential problem areas and begin to design safeguards in programming and
supply pertinent information to programs currently operational.
Members of the Research Data Team will receive appropriate training in the methods of identi-
fication and analysis of such alleged dangerous substances.
In short, the Research Data Team will establish that information related, and pertinent to,
the current and future operation of this department and the coordinated programs that will assist in
the evaluation of past and current methods and assist in future direction.

TRAINING AND CONFERENCE
The projected cost in this area is difficult to estimate for the period of twelve months.
Many conferences, seminars and programs that it may be essential are attended, are yet to be developed
or announced. However, training in the area of pharmacology, identification, physical analysis, treat-
ment techniques and reporting is currently available. The known cost of affording this education to the
Research Data Team is included in the projected estimate. The total for the twelve-month period is pro-
posed allowance of $1,000.00 per man.
Through the period of operation, a highly selective process based upon demand as it relates to
current need, will determine attendance of training and conferences while remaining within the appropri-
ations allocated for this purpose.
TRANSPORTATION
Because of the constant demand for travel involved in the operation of the Research Data Team,
it will be necessary for vehicles to be at their constant disposal.
Surveys, studies, the monitoring of program and the necessary liaison work with community
organizations and agencies, contact with the medical, law enforcement and school communities lend to the
primary justification to the need for constantly available transportation.
LABORATORY
The sum of monies proposed for the establishing of a laboratory has been done so in a manner
that will allow the continued use of equipment, following the duration of the project period.
During the project period, alleged dangerous substances will be subject to analysis by the
Research Data Team for multiple purposes --
To determine types of substances found available and abused in respective geographic areas.
To use such information in preventive education in those areas.
To identify counterfeit and misrepresented substances, again so awareness might be created in
preventive measures.
To identify substances upon introduction to new areas and preceed volume in prevention efforts.
To serve in identification of substance encountered by satellite operations, school communities
and the medical community.
To identify and report such identification and associated information through the newsletter
communications to whom they are directed.
The laboratory will also supplement educational efforts in training programs conducted within
Lire physical Facilities of the department, and will continue to be of use to this department in the
identified areas subsequent to the project period.
MATERIALS
Here again is an extremely broad area which is difficult to define in detail enough to create
an accurate understanding and evaluate potential need and associated costs.
Basically, here is identified the estimated cost of office supply materials used in developing
the instruments for survey and study and then the production in volume of that to be used in gathering
statistics and information. Upon receipt of such statistics and information, that material used in
computing, tabulating and reporting result.
Within the cost estimate are included tape recorders for their use in appropriate areas.
MATERIALS FOR EVALUATION
Within the cost estimate of this budget area is the projected cost of rental, lease and purchase
price of films, tapes, research reports and other documents that it will be necessary to obtain for
evaluation.
Once evaluated, portions of such documents or their results may be used in many areas of
departmental projects and assist development in the direction of future training, school workshops,
contribute to the Drug Information Repository and support the formulation of survey and study instruments.
Information gained from these sources may subsequently be used in preparing manual and news-
letter publications.
MISCELLANEOUS
It is proposed that the indicated amount be allocated for the purpose of remaining available
for use in support of identified budget areas that may need further financial assistance during the
project period or to implement additional service areas that may be found critical to the success of
the project.
Particularly, within the implementation of new concepts, research and the development of
supportive efforts to multiple project and programs, financial consideration must be given this area.
Moved by Burley supported by Lennon the resolution be adopted.
The Chairman ordered the resolution be referred to the Finance Committee.
There were no objections.

shall be one steward and alternate each for the Women's Division and the Detective's Division.
Stewards will be permitted to leave their work, after obtaining approval of their respect-
ive supervisors and recording their time, for the purpose of adjusting grievances in accordance with
the grievance procedure and for reporting to the grievant a change in status of his grievance. Per-
mission for stewards to leave their work stations will not be unreasonably withheld. Stewards will re-
port their time to their supervisor upon returning from a grievance discussion.
The privilege of stewards to leave their work during working hours, without loss of pay,
is extended with the understanding that the time will be devoted to the prompt handling of grievances
and will not be abused, and that they will continue to work at their assigned jobs at all times except
when permitted to leave their work to handle grievances.
Section 2.
There shall also be one Chief Steward and one alternate Chief Steward.
Section 3.
There shall be a grievance committee consisting of the Chief Steward and two other members
to be selected by the Union and certified in writing to the Employer.

grievance committee. The purpose of grievance committee meetings will be to adjust pending grievances,
and to discuss procedures for avoiding future grievances. In addition, the committee may discuss with
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 4, 1971 68
the Employer other issues which would improve the relationship between the parties.
V. GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
The Employer and the Union support and subscribe to an orderly method of adjusting employee
grievances. To this end, the Employer and the Union agree that an employee should first bring his prob-
lem or grievance to the attention of his immediate supervisor, with or without his steward, who shall
attempt to resolve the grievance informally. Dismissals, suspensions, demotions and disciplinary
actions of any type shall not be a subject for the grievance procedure but shall be processed according
to the procedures of the Personnel Appeal Board.
Step I.
If the grievance is not settled informally, it shall be discussed with the shift steward
and shall be reduced to writing, signed by the grievant and submitted to his immediate supervisor.
Step 2.
The written grievance shall be discussed between the shift steward and the immediate
supervisor, and the Chief Steward if so desired. The supervisor will attempt to adjust the matter and
will give his written decision within five (5) days (excluding Saturday, Sunday and holidays) of receipt
of the written grievance.
Step 3.
Any grievance not settled at Step 2 may be submitted to the next meeting of the grievance
committee. Any grievance not submitted to the next grievance committee meeting, by written notification
to the Employer within five (5) days of the immediate supervisor's written decision, shall be considered
dropped.
Any matter not settled in Step 3 of the grievance procedure may be submitted to final and
binding arbitration by either of the parties. A request for arbitration must be submitted by written
notice to the other party within fifteen (15) days after the grievance committee meeting. Expenses for
arbitration shall be borne equally by both parties.
If the parties fail to select an arbitrator, one will be selected under the rules of the
American Arbitration Association.
Any grievance not appealed, from a decision in one of the steps of the grievance procedure,
to the next step as prescribed, shall be considered dropped and the last decision final and binding,
