IN RE: REPORT ON 1965 COVNTY LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
To the Oakland County- Board of Supervisors
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen.:
Pursuant to Miscellaneous Resolution 4391, your Legislative Committee recommended, and
this Board adopted, a 12-paint 1965 Legislative Program for the County of Oakland.
Your Legislative Committee herewith wishes to report on those items approved by the Board
and the action, in some detail, taken by the legislature.
1. Amending the Foster Care Acts of 1955, to provide matching funds for all juvenile court
administrative costs. • At present the county does receive 50% reimbursement for money spent on foster
care only.
H.B. 2868 which would have provided that administrative costs such as supervisory and
probationary staff, clinical services, and the operating costs of the court be under the same
matching arrangements, did not come out of committee.
Tn its stead, S.B.407 was introduced which eliminates spending of basic amount by the
county before the state matches funds for foster care of children under court jurisdiction.
Although S.B. 407 was reported favorably by the Health and Welfare Committee of the Senate
to the Senate Appropriations Committee, the bill was never reported out of the Appropriations Committee.
We have been given to understand, however, that there is still some possibility that it
could be considered when the Legislature reconvenes for the fall session.
2. H.B. 241.5 and H.B. 2361 which would make mandatory immediate acceptance of all delinquent
boys and girls committed to the training schools by a Probate Judge or reimburse the county for the
full daily rate while such children await acceptance, are considered alive and are in the House Social
Aid and Welfare Committee.
3. Public Act 125, amending the Mental. Health Act, provides for reimbursement to counties
for the interim detaining of mentally ill persons pending admittance to a state institution. An
appropriation of $15,000.00 statewide, has been made for this purpose.
4. Amendments to the Drain Code, Act No. 40, Public Acts of 1956, as amended.
Act 194, simplifies the petitioning procedure for the construction of branches of drains,
provides that municipal corporations may petition for intra- or inter-county drain cleanouts, and
provides for Drainage Boards to take control_ of existing streams through proper petition.
H.B. 2086, which would amend the Drain Code to provide that assessments made on account of
drainage benefits to county roads be paid out of county road commission funds rather than the county
general fund, is considered alive and is in the House Committee on Drains.
5. H.R. 2729, that would amend the Planning Act to provide for the placing of the County
Planning Department under the control of the Board of Auditors, is in Committee on Towns and Counties
and as of this report the bill is still alive.
6. Enrolled H.B. 2362, which is an act to create a county or regional economic development
commission and to prescribe the powers and duties thereof, was vetoed by the Governor.
7. Amendatory legislation was introduced that would authorize School Districts to expend
funds toward the cost of safety devices, such as stop lights and traffic signs, to be installed on
highways or roads at or near schools.
H.B. 2167, containing these provisions, is in the Senate Committee on Education and is
considered alive.
S. Public Act 269, provides for an increase in State appropriations to local health
departments and I am pleased to report that the Oakland County Health Departments increase will be
from $5,000 to $75,000.
9. Public Acts 141 and 142 are amendments to present statutes that provide for an increase
in the state subsidy for tuberculosis patients from $4.00 to $6.00 per day.
• 10. Public Act 171 is A new act which provides Oakland County with the first opportunity to
acquire a portion of state land on Telegraph Road which is contiguous to the Service Center.
The State Tax Commission, under provisions of the act, will be making an appraisal report
to the County and this report is expected some time in October 1965.
11. S.B. 216 and H.B. 2963 would amend the State Welfare Act to provide that the state would
match direct welfare, including administrative and medical care facilities costs, on a 50/50 basis
until such time as the county has expended 1 mill, based on state equalized valuation, and then the
state Would assume the entire cost of relief. These bills are in the sub-committee of the Ways and
Means Committee and action is expected in this session of the Legislature.
12. H.B. 2239, which is still in the House Ways and Means Committee, and H.B. 2691, which
passed the House but not the Senate, would provide that the State, or any of its political sub-
divisions, acquiring title to real property, must notify the assessing officer or record the deed
on or before December 31 of the year of acquisition (the purpose being to notify the assessor so
the property may be removed from the tax rolls).
The results of the County's 1965 Legislative Program thus far indicate that five (5) of
the tills became Acts and seven (7) bills are still in committees. This represents a 42% attainment.
It should be noted that all bills which were not voted upon negatively in the last Session of the
Legislature, and which remained in committee or were returned to committee, are still under con-
sideration for the next Session of the Legislature and, unless it is the County's position to reverse
its stand on items in the last Legislative Program, no further action is needed at this time.
This report is designed to give the history- of the County's adopted 1965 Legislative Program
and does not include the remainder of the activities of the Committee during the past year, which
will be given in a later report.
Supervisors Minutes Continued. September 20 : 1.965 843

Oakland County's representatives in both hce:,:a.s of the State Legislature, Corporation Counsel and

Since the last meeting of this Hoard, your Legislative Committee has received several referral
items of legislative interest.
Your Committee, at its meeting on September 10, 1965, considered these items and herewith
reports on the action taken.
I. Your Committee did not concur in a resolution from the Allegan County Board of Supervisors
requesting support in opposition to an increase in the salary for our state legislators.
2. Your Committee recommends support of the Allegan County resolution to promote an amend-
ment to the Michigan Constitution setting the election of Township Officers in the spring, and further,
that Township Officers be elected for four-year terms.
3. Your Committee does not support, a resolution from the Hillsdale County Board of Super-
visors proposing. that Township Officers be elected for two-year terms.
4. A resolution from the Veterans Affairs Commission, concurred in by the Veterans Affairs
Committee, requested support for H.R. 2182. This bill would restore the homestead exemption for
veterans to $2,000 of the assessed valuation, with no income limitation.

support of H.B. 21.52.
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Legislative Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing

by your Legislative Committee, and
WHEREAS said resolution opposes contemplated action by the Federal Government which would

B. School Community Action Programs: Programs funded under Title IT of the Act are also
under way in four school districts. The Act that 0E0 funds cannot be used for general.. aid to education
and specifies that school programs should be for "special remedial and other non-curricular activities".
Thus the underlying theme of all present School Community Action programs is a reaching out to the
student to draw him into the school, either through individual contacts with school community aides
and tutors or through special programs such as clubs and field trips designed to promote the self-
motivation of the culturally deprived student.
Four school districts have been granted $192,357 in Federal Funds to run until November 30,
1965 for a variety of school programs. An extension of these programs for 1965-66 is being planned.
Ferndale: Counseling and study centers; summer remedial, tutorial and enrichment project
($43,227).
Hazel Park: School Community Action Project; visiting teacher services; expansion of school
diagnostic services; remedial reading and school orientation center; a community school evening
library and study program. ($53,222)
Oak Park: Summer educational enrichment; a study center; a family liaison counselor;
exploratory clubs and field trips ($66,572).
Pontiac: Counseling services; a school community action program; remedial reading project
($29,336).
II. Work Training Program.
Under Title V of the Economic Opportunity Act, the 0E0 is authorized to transfer funds
to the U. S. Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare for training programs for unemployed fathers and
mothers who are on public assistance and need to improve their employable skills.
Oakland County has received $271,000 under this section of the Act which will be administered
by Ora Hinckley, Supervisor of the Oakland County Bureau of Social Aid. Approximately 300 persons
in Oakland are economically eligible for such training. There are now 135 enrolled in this program.
Eighty enrollees are currently being evaluated for placement; fifty are now participating in the
courses. One of the courses, teaching basic literacy, has been arranged by Ora Hinckley's staff and
is located in the Bureau of Social Aid Offices,
III. Youth Programs
The purpose of Title 1 of the Economic Opportunity Act is to prepare young men and women
between the ages of 16 and 21 for employment and civic responsibilities by providing them with
education, vocational training and useful work experiences.
The Job Corps offers job training through residence centers, located throughout the U.S.
This program is run directly from Washington; recruitment in Oakland County is through the Michigan
Employment Security Commission. As of September 15, eleven Oakland County youths had left for work
centers; 26 applications had been approved by the Oakland County wcr and were pending assignment
in Washington, and 20 were currently - being processed by Oakland County MESO offices.
The Neighborhood Youth Corps offers job training for enrollees in state, county, municipal
and private non-profit agencies. Jobs must, consist of work which would not normally be performed by
regular employees.
Recruitment is currently going on for a state-wide Neighborhood Youth Corps program,
under the work-sponsorship of the Department of Conservation. There are 38 openings available to
Oakland County youths under this program. Recruitment is through the MESC. Plans are now under way
for the development of an NYC program under the Oakland County Commission on Economic Opportunity,
specifically for Oakland County residents. Twenty-six public and private agencies have expressed
their interest in becoming a Neighborhood Youth Corps Project sponsor.
IV. Community Action Center Proposal
On April 13, 1965, the Oakland County • Economic Opportunity Commission was granted $77,331
to develop 0E0 programs in the County. Based on the planning already involved in the Program Develop-
ment Grant, a proposal for the establishment of two Community Action Centers, located in the north and
south ends of the county is presently pending final approval in Washington, D. C.
More than 1200 individuals have been involved in various aspects of this proposal- Six
task forces have been actively engaged in planning and research.
The basic program established under this grant will be a network of 20 Organizers to
identify problems in the neighborhoods and mobilize community self-help to effectively solve unmet
needs. Neighborhood organizers will be chosen for their close knowledge of the area in which they
serve, and for their proven ability and interest in attacking community problems as demonstrated by
participation in church, civic, or fraternal organizations.
Each neighborhood will establish its own priorities and organize Neighborhood Committees.
These Neighborhood Committees will then send delegates to Area Advisory Councils who will present
specific suggestions to the Area Centers for programs, based on both groups and individual needs.
Supervisors Minutes Continued. September 20, 1_965 847
Council representativ. • rill a,—ve an the Commission and recommendations coming from
an;tieal budget allocations will be presented to the these Councils requiring major ciaa -re
commission for their official action.
Two Action Centers, located i. berth and South end of the County will serve as a
focal point for the group activities of the f:,.ea Coaneils and also as centers for direct services
to individuals. Direct services will lee s: a Michigan EMployment Security Commission Team,
Consumers Service, Medical. and Dental eiu e a, Pulic Health Nurse, a Psychiatric Screening Team
and a Family Service Social Worker.
Thirty-two area residents, employed as Counselor Aides in the Action Centers will link
the Neighborhood Organizers, the applicants and the direct services available at the Centers.
It will be the combined responsibility of the Neighborhood Organizers and Counselors
to follow through on referrals to make sure that the individual needs of the applicants are met with
practical help. A counselor aide would arrange for baby sitting service to a young mother seeking
work training or accompany a young girl on a job interview, simply to offer moral support, if this
seemed indicated. Counselor Aides will be trained under monies available through the Manpower
Training and Development_ Act.
Oakland University, Mott Ceni-r for Continuing Education is assisting in the development
of a Volunteer Corps to work under the sa a ,•ev'aion of the Area staff to provide special. services for
projects which the Neighborhood Council m, develop.
The legal community is betpin.• develop legal programs in the Centers to assist applicants
with legal problems.
The Commission has from its inception depended on substantial volunteer help from both
individuals and agencies not located geographically in the areas of a high incidence of poverty. It
is hoped that the levels of volunteer assistance will be increased as specific programs develop. For
example, the Commission will lean heavily on skill contributions from the business community in
offering management training to applicants who may apply for loans under Title TV of Economic
Opportunity Act which provides for loans from the Small Business Administration to needy individuals
who might be able to develop their own businesses. The total Federal. Grant requested for the two
Action Centers is $730,591,

above referred to shall be that set forth in Exhibit P hereto or as revised prior to the issuance of
bonds. If the actual cost shall be greater than the estimated cost, then, the additional amount shall
be allocated between the municipalities in accordance with the percentages set forth in paragraph 4
hereof, and the several then remaining installments for each municipality shall be increased accord-
ingly, and the county shall issue additional bonds such increases or shall take such other
action to finance such excess cost as shall be aLrei6 'ay the parties hereto.
7. Each municipality does hereby pledge is full faith and credit for the prompt payment of
the aforesaid obligations and shall each year levy a tax in an amount which taking into consideration

annual levy there shall be cash on hand (as provided for in paragraph (2), Section 12, of Act No. 185
Public Acts of 1957, as amended) earmarked for the payment of the current obligations for which the
tax levy is to be made, in which case the annual tax levy may be reduced by that amount. Funds for
which credit may be so taken, may be raised in the manner provided in paragraph (2), Section 12 of
said Act 185, Public Acts of 1957, as now existing or hereafter amended.
8. The county shall issue its negotiable bonds to defray the capital cost of said Arm, which
bonds shall be secured primarily by the full faith and credit pledges of the several municipalities
under this Agreement, and secondarily by the full faith and credit of Oakland County if authorized
by a three-fifths (3/5ths) vote of the members elect of the Board of Supervisors, as provided for in
paragraph (2), Section 11 of said Act 185, Public Acts of 1957, as amended. Said bonds shall be issued
pursuant to the provisions of said act and the applicable general statutes of the state, where not in
conflict with said act.
