Mr. Joe Haas presented the following tribute to Mr. Lee O. Brooks: "It is my privilege to say a few words about Lee 0. Brooks who is leaving the Oakland County Road Com- mission because of his health, although he had been unanimously chosen for another six year term. In his 22 years on the Commission, he has served faithfully and well, has takan his turn as its Chairman, and has had much to do in the upkeep and maintenance of our highways. He had an active part in the transfer to their new quarters and his ideas were largely inculcated in its plans and buildings. I think I will not be contradicted when I say that Michigan has nothing else to favorably compare with it. Even before he got interested in highways on a county level or accepted the office which he has held with honor, Lee had other interests that in many ways are more important than road building. All of his life, he has been interested in youth and manhood building. He has proved himself to be an architect of exceptional ability in that line. For many years, he served his local Board of Education and made such a good record that a new school was named in his honor. In Boy Scouting he has a record that runs back to his early years. Working up through the ranks he has been a member of the Execucive Board of Clinton Valley Council and is the holder of the Silver Beaver, the highest award. We hope he will be with us for many years. We need men like Lee Brooks." Mr. Marshall Taylor withdrew his name as a candidate for a member of the Board of County Road Com- missioners.

Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Civil Defense Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution. CIVIL DEFENSE COMMITTEE Charles E. Cardon, Chairman Margaret E. Hill, Vance C. Fouts Alex R. Solley, Marshall E. Taylor EXPLANATORY NOTE TO THE READER This Prototype Survival Plan has been prepared as a pattern, or model, to be followed by county Civil Defense forces in preparing operational survival plans for their respective counties, The Prototype has been designed for those counties which would assume the primary role of: (1) A Reception County; a county which would receive and care for evacuees from Target Areas in the state, under attack or anticipated attack conditions or (2) A Support County; a county having a primary mission of supplying aid and assistance to Reception Counties or distressed areas. Survival planning must be based upon certain basic assumptions. In preparing survival plans for the state and its major political subdivisions, assumptions were made that certain industrial cities and metropolitan areas would become the target of enemy attack. Counties not included in Target Areas would come to the aid and assistance of the Target Area population in supplying them with the necessities of life and aid in re-establishing the disrupted economy in the state resulting from attack. In an age of supersonic speed bombers and intercontinental missiles, no person, not even the enemy, can pinpoint targets during an attack. A near miss might mean striking a community many miles from the selected target. It is therefore conceivable that almost any community in Michigan could become the victim of attack. The hazard of radioactive fallout is one for which prediction of the scope, extent of coverage over the state or speed of travel cannot be accurately predicted. Varying temperature and wind conditions from day to day would affect fallout patterns. 104 Supervisors Minutes Continued. December 14, 1959 It is therefore imperative that survival planning on the county level takes into account a number of possible situations and makes provisions for the possible evacuation of the county in case of surprise attack or the hazard of fallout as well as provisions for the assumption of primary mission of reception and care of evacuees, rescue and aid in distressed areas,or support to other counties performing rescue, reception and care functions, Since every county in Michigan is, to a degree, unique in its geographic location, density of popu- lation, proximity to assumed potential Target Areas, size of county government agencies and amount of equipment on hand, location of private sources of material, supplies and equipment in private industry and commerce, location of state or federal institutions and many other considerations, no single survival plan may be written which would be operational in every county. In order that full utilization of Civil. Defense forces may be made on a state-wide basis, it is necessary that basic uniformities of survival plans be written which would be operational in every county. In order that full utilization of Civil Defense forces may be made on a state-wide basis, it is necessary that basic uniformities of survival plans be common to all. The purpose of the Prototype is to provide the framework and format upon which an operational survival plan, complete with detailed local procedures, may be developed. * Phases of the Plan The Plan is based on the following time-phases; 1. PRE-ATTACK Pre-attack is the present period of time prior to the receipt of the Attack Warning. It is that period during which planning and training can be carried on to provide information and preparation to meet an emergency that may not happen in our lifetime, but may happen tomorrow. 2. ATTACK Attack is that period of time following the first warning until the time of actual attack. It may be a matter of minutes or several hours, No time will be allowed for organization or procrasti- nation. Entire populations must move beyond the Target Areas during this time or take cover in the best available refuge. Intelligence may bring a warning of many hours, days, or months in advance of attack. Such a time element would allow for advance evacuation of hospitals, schools and nonessential personnel, as well as essential equipment, materials and supplies. 3. POST-::!ITACK Post attack is that period following an actual attack by the enemy. It is at this time that the steens • h of our planning and the will of our people to survive will determine whether we have raced •cd a 'Oulock-down" or ulolock-out" blow. FOREWORD Survival planning in Michigan is predicated on the fact that Civil. Defense is not a separate authority with its own conaand and control structure. Civil Defense is civil government in an emergency situation wherein additional duties, functions and responsibility are assumed along with or in addition to normal day-to-day governmental functions. In this plan the ground rules are set forth for the utilization of county governmental units and their personnel to form the basic Civil Defense program for the county. According to our form of government, cenriniee in Michigan are political subdivisions of the state operating under a policy of self-government ai. the county level, limited by certain laws and regulations of the state. Under emergency conditions this baa:: -uld not change, For the survival of the state as a whole, however, all Civil Defense forces, suite, and city, will be placed under the direct unified command of the Governor. Under state control, personnel, fe•ilities, materials and supplies in excess quantities in one county of the state may be directed to the relief inother county in distress. Civil Defense at all levels of command is organized into service units or divisions to provide for the quick dispersal and operating of of needed services. Eighteen service units, each the responsibility of a county governmental agency, make up the Civil Defense organization at the county level, The state Civil Defense organization has identical and additional service units. Each state Civil Defense service has the responsibility for its service specialty on a state-wide basis. Technical assistance, help and guidance of state Civil Defense services will extend to and include services at the county level_ Service units of county Civil Defense organizations remain under the control of the County Civil Defense Director. When all or a part of a particular county's Civil Defense service is deemed to be needed more in another county than in its own by •tire counterpart state Civil Defense service, the service director at the state level will make his request for support through the State Civil Defense Director who, through his representative, the Area Coordinator, will direct his orders to the County Civil Defense Director. The development and implementation of an Operational survival plan for each county is the responsi- bility of the county's Civil Defense Director, Responsibility for the writing of detailed plans and operating procedures may, and should be, delegated to the county governmental official directly responsible for a particular Civil Defense function or service. No survival plan, no matter how potentially effective, will he of any value unless the people of the county for whose protection it is intended are told about it, accept it and participate in it. Civil Defense operational survival planning does not, however, end with the preparation of plans, detailing of operating procedures or informing the public. The sole certainty of Civil Defense planning is that it will continue to change. it must keep pace with offensive and defensive improvements and developments. Civil Defense is not an exact science nor is it guesswork; but rather it is based on the strength and weaknesses of the hour. It will never be complete. December 31, 1958 OAKLAND COUNTY SURVIVAL PLAN I. MISSION AND SITUATION A. MISSION The mission of the Oakland County Survival Plan is to organize, coordinate and direct the actions of the county Civil Defense forces and the general public to execute prepared plans of operations in the event of an enemy-caused emergency or natural disaster; to save the maximum number of lives; to reduce casualties and minimize damage to property; to be responsible for the receipt, analysis and dissemination of the attack warning; to receive and provide care for evacuees from Target Areas; to evacuate the population including evacuees from Target Areas to safe areas in case of the threat of fallout; and to provide support and assistance to Reception and Care Counties and Target Areas. 105 Supervisors Minutes Continued. December 14, 1959 B. SITUATION 1. Enemy Capabilities a, It is assumed that potential enemies of the United States have the capability of launching an attack on the United States with sufficient weapons to strike a high proportion of our military, industrial and population targets at a time of their choosing. b. It is assumed that nuclear weapons of a megaton (one million tons) yield would be used. These weapons could be delivered by manned aircraft or by missiles launched at points outside the con- tinental United States. c. It is recognized that other weapons such as incendiary, biological, chemical and psychological agents could also be used. d. The enemy is capable of delivering this selection of weapons to produce the destruction of any community within the State of Michigan. 2. Natural Disaster No community in Michigan can be considered immune from tornadoes, floods, fires of major proportions, or other disasters occurring from natural or accidental causes. 3. Civil Defense Capabilities of Michigan a. Under provision of the Michigan Civil Defense Act (Act No. 154 of the Public Acts of 1953, as amended,) upon declaration of a state of emergency resulting from natural disaster or enemy attack, the Governor and the Director of the Michigan Office of Civil Defense would make available the capabilities and resources of the state and its political subdivisions for the relief and support of the distressed areas. b. All county governmental departments, boards, commissions and institutions would be pressed into Civil Defense missions to carry out the overall mission of the county. c. Through the State Warning Point at the East Lansing State Police Headquarters, the Attack Warning system will give all counties in Michigan a warning time of from 30 minutes to three hours prior to actual attack by manned aircraft. II. GENERAL PLAN AND ORGANIZATION A. GENERAL PLAN 1. The basic concept of this plan it: Government in an emergency situation may be best provided by existing departments and agencies of county government. There will be no change in the concept of county government functions because of the emergency except to place additional duties and responsibilities upon many county departments. These duties and responsibilities will be defined and assigned, either individually or collectively, to one or more county governmental units, departments, or agencies in the form of Civil Defense services. Service annexes, which are a part of the County . Prototype Plan, define these services by governmental units involved. Implementation of these services by county governmental units will be provided by the local County Civil Defense Director and members of his Civil Defense forces. 2. The plan provides for: a. Counties designated as Reception Counties. b. Counties designated as Support Counties. c. Counties designated as Target Counties (counties wholly or partially contained within a designated Target Area). Such counties may not come under enemy attack but may be called upon to receive and care for evacuees from other parts of the state which do come under attack. 3. The plan will be put into effect on decision and declaration of a state of emergency by the Governor, or when an official Attack Warning is received. 4. The operational forces will perform their missions in support of this plan as outlined in paragraph 111. Actions to be Taken by County Civil Defense Services, and as described in the various service annexes of this plan. 5. The general public will be expected to comply with the provisions of this plan under the direction and instruction of the County Civil Defense Director and personnel of the operating services. 6. Civil Defense forces and equipment and facilities from evacuated Target Areas will be integrated into the local Civil Defense forces in Reception or Support Counties. Assignment of such forces, equipment and facilities will be under the direction of the State Civil Defense Area Coordinator. 7. In the event a Reception or Support County '^fITS under enemy attack without sufficient warning to evacuate that portion of the county, due to abortive bombing or misses from Target Areas, full utilization will be made of all existing structures for refuge, utilizing structures below ground where available. 8. In the event that a warning is received from the State Control Center that a Reception or Support County is in danger of receiving radioactive fallout resulting from bombings in other parts of the state or nation, the County Civil Defense Director will alert the population and proceed to evacuate to another area as designated by the State Civil Defense Area Coordinator. Evacuation will be accord- ing to the local movements plan or via routes designated by the State Civil Defense Area Coordinator. 9, Support Counties will prepare to receive evacuees from Reception Counties in the event that a relocation of residents and evacuees from Reception Counties is ordered by the State Civil Defense Area Coordinator. Support Counties will prepare to receive evacuees in numbers corresponding to two and one-half times the Support County's current population, 10. Each Target County will develop (in addition to plans to implement the local movement plan of evacuation of all or part of the county) plans to receive and provide emergency care for evacuees from other communities. Each county will prepare to receive evacuees in numbers corresponding to two and one-half the county's current population. B. ORGANIZATION 1. The County Prototype Plan is based on an organization of existing governmental forces, augmented by auxiliary personnel. a, County Civil Defense forces will be under the direction of the County Civil Defense Director of the county involved. The County Civil Defense Director will be administratively responsible to his State Civil Defense Area Coordinator. b. Each county Civil Defense organization will be staffed by service sections as described in service annexes of this plan. 2. County Civil Defense forces in non-target areas will organize their activities to aid and assist damaged areas and to care for evacuees from evacuated areas. B. C. ANNEX A. B. C- H. E. F. G. H. I.

Misc. 3598 By Mr. Semann IN RE: 1960 LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM FOR OAKLAND COUNTY To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Your Legislative Committee respectfully reports that it has just completed a study of the various new laws and amendments to existing laws as proposed to it by county officials and members of the Board. The following are recommended: 1. Transfer of all duties and responsibilities of the County Drain Commissioner to the Department of Public Works through the Board of Public Works. Amendments to the following Acts are needed to accomplish this: Act 342 of the Public Acts of 1939, as amended (Drains) Act 194 of the Public Acts of 1939, as amended (Lake levels) Act 296 of the Public Acts of 1945, as amended (Lake levels) Act 40 of the Public Acts of 1956, as amended (Drains) Act 185 of the Public Acts of 1957, as amended (D.P.W.) 2. A new Act setting up procedures for establishing lake levels and to provide machinery to charge back to benefited properties the cost of improvements. 3. Legislation to amend the State Social Welfare Laws to provide at least a 50/50 matching formula for state participation in county welfare costs. Your Committee regards the foregoing three items to be the target objectives of the county's 1960 Legislative program. The following items are recommended for endorsement: 1. Amendment to General Property Tax Law to allow a treasurer of a local unit of government one month rather than one week to make his return of delinquent taxes to the County Treasurer. 2. Provide for fee for opening of safety deposit box by county Treasurer - $10.00 fee, plus mileage suggested. 3. Amend state mental laws so that: (a) The County will have authority to collect monies from responsible relatives on accounts paid to the state. (b) Provide a more uniform procedure governing determination of ability to pay. (c) Allow credit to the county of residence for hospitalization provided by the county in a private hospital prior to admittance to a state hospital for the first year of care. 4. Amendment to General Property Tax Law to have redemption procedure on tax sales transferred from the County Clerk's Office to the Register of Deeds Office. Your Committee recommends endorsement of the following program which is advocated by the Township Supervisors' Association: 1. Repeal of Act No. 3 of the Public Acts of 1895 (old Village Act), since the Act does not give the residents of a township the right to a vote in annexation or incorporation proceedings. A County policy of self-determination of the people as far as incorporation and annexations are concerned is recommended. 2. Amendment to Act 168 of the Public Acts of 1959 (Township Planning Act) to include "approved" as well as "disapproval" of decisions of the Township Planning Commission on matters over which the Township Board will have jurisdiction to make final determination. 3. An amendment to the Drain Act (Act 40 of the Public Acts of 1956, as amended), to provide for reapportionment of drain-at-large costs where there is a city or village incorporated from a portion of a township area. 4. Amend Township Special Assessment Act (Act 188 of the Public Acts of 1954, as amended), to include sewer connection charges as a part of the costs which may be included in a special assessment against benefited properties. 5. Although the Township Supervisors Association has suggested the repeal of Act 206 of Public Acts of 1959 which requires a township to have an organized Police Department in order to be eligible for return of a portion of the state collected fees for liquor licenses, your Committee does not concur in this suggestion. Your Committee recommends that Townships having agreements with the County for payments for additional Sheriff services be given credit on such agreements for that portion of liquor fees collected by the County for licenses issued in such township. Your Legislative Committee has made a study of Act 155 of the Public Acts of 1954 which places a ceiling on the salaries of Circuit Judges at $22,500,00. An opinion of the State Attorney General rendered in 1955 holds that this Act is unconstitutional, in an opinion to this Board on September 15, 1958, the Corporation Counsel concurred in the Attorney General's opinion. It is therefore the recommendation of the Committee our Legislators should be urged to advocate repeal of this Act at the 1960 Session of the State Legislature as a part of the County program. Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Legislative Committee, I move as follows: 1. That the foregoing report be received and the recommendations therein made be approved as a part of the County's 1960 Legislative Program. 2. That the Corporation Counsel be instructed to draft the appropriate amendments or new laws to carry out the foregoing recommendations. 3. That a certified copy of this resolution be forwarded by the County Clerk to each member of the State Legislature representing Oakland County. LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE John G.

Cummings IN RE: APPROPRIATION-PRIMARY ELECTRICAL SERVICE-COUNTY SERVICE CENTER To the Oakland County Board. of Supervisors Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: The Board of Auditors has completed a study of the electrical service and power at the County Service Centex. This study reveals that the County would benefit by a substantial savings in the cost of electricity by making a change from regular electrical current to primary current. In order to make this change, it is necessary to build a switch house, install equipment and construct a five pole line to complete an electrical power loop and an underground cable to the court house. The Board of Auditors has recommended that this work be done by the Schultz Electric Company, which has the contract for electric service at the new court house, at a contract price of $30,472.87. Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Ways and Means Committee, I offer the following resolution: BE IT RESOLVED that the sum of $30,472.87 be transferred from 1959 non-tax receipts to the Utilities Fund, to pay for the change in electrical service at the County Service Center in accordance with plans as pro- posed by the County Board of Auditors.

Misc. 3602 By Mr. Levinson TN RE: INTER-COUNTY AVIATION COMMITTEE To the Oakland County Board of Supervisors Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen Early in 1958,. the Supervisors Inter-County Committee initiated a series of exploratory meetings with technical experts in the field of aviation to study the aviation problems of the area. The Committee had a three-fold purpose: 1. To investigate the pcesent and future aviation needs of the area; 2. To develop an area-wide approach to the aviation problem; 3. To find a solution to meet the future aviation needs of the area. The area involved is the Southeastern Michigan Metropolitan area and is comprised of the Counties of Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw and Wayne, including the City of Detroit. This area has been recognized as one of the largest metropolitan areas in the nation. It covers about 4000 square miles and has a population of about 4,200,000 people. It is expected that the area will grow to 5-1/2 million by 1975. It has the greatest concentration of industrial power in the world. The Committee agreed at the outset that previous studies were obsolete due to the advance of the jet age, and that a comprehensive area-wide plan should be provided. With the assistance of the Michigan Depart- ment of Aeronautics, the study specifications were prepared. In March of 1959, a contract was awarded to the firm of Landrum W Brown of Cincinnati, Ohio, for the airport study. The study has been financed by the Supervisors Inter-County Committee, Michigan Department of Aeronautics and the Greater Detroit Board of Commerce. The results of the study which were presented at a meeting of the Supervisors Inter-County Committee • OD December 10, 1959, sets forth the requirements for air transportation in the Southeastern Michigan Metropolitan area as follows: Ann Pet Po Po Md.).
