MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #11320
BY: Commissioners Shelley Taub, District #16; Helaine Zack, District #22; David Potts, District #20; Janet Jackson, #21
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – DESIGNATION OF WOODWARD AVE. IN OAKLAND COUNTY AS AN “ORANGE ROUTE” INSTEAD OF A “BLUE ROUTE” FOR WINTER MAINTENANCE
AS DESIGNATED BY THE MDOT To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the Michigan Department of Transportation currently has designated Woodward Avenue
through Oakland County as a “blue route” for winter maintenance purposes. Woodward Avenue is a multi-lane road in both directions; and
WHEREAS a “blue route” is considered a lower level of winter maintenance service than other State routes. Once one (1) wheel track is cleared of snow and ice in one lane, the Road Commission for
Oakland County is removed from that route. No overtime is permitted to be used for that route; and WHEREAS an “orange route” has a higher level of winter maintenance and is a safer route in winter
conditions. “Orange routes” are considered to be critical routes and the Road Commission for Oakland County must remove all snow and ice from all lanes until cleared, using overtime until the job is
completed; and WHEREAS Woodward Avenue through Oakland County is home to 3 (three) hospitals: Royal Oak
Beaumont, St. Joseph Mercy Oakland and Pontiac Osteopathic; and WHEREAS hospitals on “blue routes” could experience lower level of service after normal business
hours, creating public safety concerns for the motoring public and residents of the many communities along Woodward corridor.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby requests that the Michigan Department of Transportation change the designation of Woodward Avenue
through Oakland County to a “orange route” instead of a “blue route”, for a higher level of winter maintenance service.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution will be forwarded to the Michigan Department of Transportation, the Michigan Legislature and the office of the Governor.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

8
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the U.S. Department of Transportation, through the Hazardous Materials Emergency
Preparedness (HMEP) grant, provides funds to Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs) for the purpose of enhancing hazardous materials response planning; and
WHEREAS the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986, Title III, requires the planning and provisions for Community Right-To-Know on Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHSs) in
local communities; and WHEREAS an application was submitted and Oakland County was notified that the LEPCs was eligible to
receive up to $7,870 for the submittal of new and updated plans, the subsequent grant agreement for this amount was approved per Miscellaneous Resolution #11070; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has since been notified that it has received an additional $15,363.75, which exceeds 15% of the original award for a total of $23,233.75 and, therefore, requires a resolution of
acceptance. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes
acceptance of the Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) grant additional funding in the amount of $15,363.75.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
