*MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #12155
BY: Human Resources Committee, John Scott, Chairperson IN RE: HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT – PA 152 EXEMPTION FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2013
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS PA 152 of 2011, the “Publically Funded Health Insurance Contribution Act” was enacted by the State of Michigan and given immediate effect on September 27, 2011; and
WHEREAS PA 152 sets forth various options that public employers may follow when providing healthcare benefits to their eligible employees; and
WHEREAS acting pursuant to specific provisions of Act 152, Oakland County government exercised its legal right to exempt itself from the Act’s cap and/or formula limitations for calendar year 2012; and
WHEREAS the exemption was adopted in order to avoid costs of litigation, avoid the expense of conducting delayed “open enrollment” selection processes and to secure reasonable time to prudently
employ the County’s recognized Triennial Budget Process and to allow the County to continue making changes over time that yield significant reductions in health care costs in a manner that is fair to both
taxpayers and employees; and WHEREAS the County’s exemption for calendar year 2012 was equitable to both the taxpayers and
employees for a variety of reasons including the fact that the self-insured County, even with its election to formally exempt itself for calendar year 2012, will likely stay within the cap formula target of Act 152 for
2012; and WHEREAS the County Executive recommends that Oakland County again formally exercise its legal right
to exempt itself from the Act’s limitations for calendar year 2013 for the same reasons as existed in 2012 and for the additional reason that the Act fails to provide a mechanism that would allow Oakland County
officials to exercise their required due diligence by adopting a fiscal year 2013 budget only after knowing what the cap target allowed by law will be; and
WHEREAS the structure of Act 152 makes knowledgeable acceptance of its cap formula before FY 2013 budget adoption effectively impossible for the reason that the Michigan Treasurer is not required under
the Act to adjust the maximum payment permitted under Section 3 of Act 152 for each coverage category for medical benefit plan coverage years until October 1st of each year after 2011; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 07, 2012
425
WHEREAS October 1st is the date each year the County’s fiscal year budget becomes effective; and WHEREAS Act 152’s October 1st date to adjust the maximum payment permitted is simply too late under
the budget process mandated by Section 8 of 1973 P.A. 139, MCL 45.558(1) (d), which requires the County Executive to submit a proposed budget to the Board of Commissioners “…not less than 90 days
before the next succeeding Fiscal Year”, (i.e., by July 3, 2012), a date 90 days before the October 1st commencement of the next succeeding Fiscal Year; and
WHEREAS a calendar year 2013 exemption would be equitable to both the taxpayers and employees given that the self-insured County, even with an election to formally exempt calendar year 2013, may well
meet the cap formula target established under Act 152, despite the fact that the cap amount will not be required to be established by the State Treasurer until after the County budget is adopted; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has a long history of proactive budget practices that have resulted in budgets that are balanced and fiscally sound and even with an exemption for 2013, as demonstrated by
decades of actual performance, the County will continue making changes over time designed to yield significant reductions in health care costs in a manner that is fair to both taxpayers and employees; and
WHEREAS the adopted Oakland County Triennial Budget for Fiscal Years 2012 - 2014 is balanced, maintains responsible general fund equity balances, and funds employee current medical benefit plans
within existing revenues; and WHEREAS along with opting out as allowed under PA152 for 2013, the County Executive will be
proposing to make cost-controlling changes to employee healthcare plans for calendar year 2013; and WHEREAS the County Executive will be recommending that current prescription drug co-pay levels will
be increased from $5/$10/$25 to $5/$20/$40 for employees and retirees effective January 1, 2013; and WHEREAS the County Executive will be recommending a $100 ER (emergency room) co-pay for non-
emergency services be implemented for health plans for employees and retirees effective January 1, 2013; and
WHEREAS the County Executive will recommend reassessment for calendar year 2014 when more information about the Federal healthcare reform, about state healthcare exchange plans and about the
outcomes of any litigation regarding PA152 are known and when the actual fiscal impact of any proposed FY 2013 health care changes can be evaluated.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that acting pursuant to the authority granted a county under Section 8 of Public Act 152 of 2011, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby exempts
Oakland County Government from the requirements of PA 152 for calendar year 2013. Chairperson, on behalf of the Human Resources Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing
resolution.

5. BOND DETAILS. The bonds shall be designated "Oakland County Farmington Hills Water Supply System Bonds, Series 2012," shall be dated as of the date approved by the County Agency; shall
be numbered from 1 upwards; shall be fully registered; shall be in the denomination of $5,000 each or any integral multiple thereof not exceeding the aggregate principal amount for each
maturity at the option of the purchaser thereof; shall bear interest at a rate or rates not exceeding 6% per annum as shall be determined by the County Agency at the time of sale; shall be payable
as to interest on such dates as shall be determined by the County Agency; and shall be serial bonds and/or term bonds and mature in such amounts and on such dates and in such years as
shall be determined by the County Agency; provided, however, that the final maturity of a series of bonds shall not be more than 30 years after the date that such series of bonds is delivered to
the initial purchasers thereof.
6. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The principal of and interest on the bonds shall be payable in lawful money of the United States. Principal shall be payable upon presentation and
surrender of the bonds to the bond registrar and paying agent as they severally mature. Interest shall be paid to the registered owner of each bond as shown on the registration books at the

mailed by the bond registrar and paying agent to the registered owner at the registered address.
7. BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM. Initially, one fully-registered bond for each maturity, in the aggregate amount of such maturity, shall be issued in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") for the benefit of other parties (the "Participants") in the book-entry-only transfer system of DTC. In the event the County determines that it is in the best
interest of the County not to continue the book-entry system of transfer or that the interests of the holders of the bonds might be adversely affected if the book-entry system of transfer is continued,
the County may notify DTC and the bond registrar and paying agent, whereupon DTC will notify the Participants of the availability through DTC of bond certificates. In such event, the bond
registrar and paying agent shall deliver, transfer and exchange bond certificates as requested by DTC and any Participant or "beneficial owner" in appropriate amounts in accordance with this
Resolution. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the bonds at any time by giving notice to the County and the bond registrar and paying agent and discharging
its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law or the County may determine that DTC is incapable of discharging its duties and may so advise DTC. In either such event, the
County shall use reasonable efforts to locate another securities depository. Under such circumstances (if there is no successor securities depository), the County and the bond registrar
and paying agent shall be obligated to deliver bond certificates in accordance with the procedures established by this Resolution. In the event bond certificates are issued, the provisions of this
Resolution shall apply to, among other things, the transfer and exchange of such certificates and the method of payment of principal of and interest on such certificates. Whenever DTC requests
the County and the bond registrar and paying agent to do so, the County and the bond registrar and paying agent shall cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to
make available one or more separate certificates evidencing the bonds to any Participant having bonds certified to its DTC account or to arrange for another securities depository to maintain
custody of certificates evidencing the bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, so long as any bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to the principal of, interest on and redemption premium, if any, on such bonds and all notices with respect to the bonds shall be made and
given, respectively, to DTC as provided in the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations relating to the bonds. The County Treasurer and the County Agency are each authorized to sign the
Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations on behalf of the County, in such form as such officer deems necessary or appropriate in order to accomplish the issuance of the bonds in accordance
with law and this Resolution.
8. PRIOR REDEMPTION. The bonds shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the County Agency.

paying agent.

upon which the seal of the County (or a facsimile thereof) is impressed or imprinted may be delivered to the bond registrar and paying agent for authentication and delivery in connection with
the exchange or transfer of bonds. The bond registrar and paying agent shall indicate on each bond the date of its authentication.
11. EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF BONDS. Any bond, upon surrender thereof to the bond
registrar and paying agent with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney, at the
option of the registered owner thereof, may be exchanged for bonds of any other authorized denominations of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity date and bearing the same
rate of interest as the surrendered bond. Each bond shall be transferable only upon the books of the County, which shall be kept
for that purpose by the bond registrar and paying agent, upon surrender of such bond together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying
agent duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney. Upon the exchange or transfer of any bond, the bond registrar and paying agent on
behalf of the County shall cancel the surrendered bond and shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee a new bond or bonds of any authorized denomination of the same
aggregate principal amount and maturity date and bearing the same rate of interest as the surrendered bond. If, at the time the bond registrar and paying agent authenticates
and delivers a new bond pursuant to this section, payment of interest on the bonds is in default, the bond registrar and paying agent shall endorse upon the new bond the
following: "Payment of interest on this bond is in default. The last date to which interest has been paid is [appropriate date to be inserted]."
The County and the bond registrar and paying agent may deem and treat the person in whose name any bond shall be registered upon the books of the County as the absolute
owner of such bond, whether such bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of and interest on such bond and for all other
purposes, and all payments made to any such registered owner, or upon his order, in accordance with the provisions of section 6 of this Resolution shall be valid and effectual
to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the County nor the bond registrar and paying agent shall be affected by
any notice to the contrary. The County agrees to indemnify and save the bond registrar and paying agent harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, charge, expense,
judgment or liability incurred by it, acting in good faith and without negligence hereunder, in so treating such registered owner.
For every exchange or transfer of bonds, the County or the bond registrar and paying agent may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental
charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer, which sum or sums
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 07, 2012

shall be paid by the person requesting such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the privilege of making such exchange or transfer.
The bond registrar and paying agent shall not be required to transfer or exchange bonds or portions of bonds which have been selected for redemption.

satisfactory to the County Treasurer, the County Treasurer may authorize the bond registrar and paying agent to deliver a new executed bond to replace the bond lost, apparently destroyed or
wrongfully taken in compliance with applicable law. In the event an outstanding matured bond is lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, the County Treasurer may authorize the bond
registrar and paying agent to pay the bond without presentation upon the receipt of the same documentation required for the delivery of a replacement bond. The bond registrar and paying
agent, for each new bond delivered or paid without presentation as provided above, shall require the payment of expenses, including counsel fees, which may be incurred by the bond registrar
and paying agent and the County in the premises. Any bond delivered pursuant the provisions of this section 19 in lieu of any bond lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken shall be of the
same form and tenor and be secured in the same manner as the bond in substitution for which such bond was delivered.
20. OFFICIAL STATEMENT. The County Agency and the County Treasurer are each authorized to
cause the preparation of an official statement for the bonds for the purpose of enabling compliance with Rule 15c2-12 issued under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

things necessary to assure that the interest on the bonds will be and will remain excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #12149 BY: Commissioner Shelley Goodman Taub, District #16
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS BALLOT INITIATIVE FOR THE DETROIT/WINDSOR BRIDGE To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
WHEREAS The state of Michigan benefits from multiple International crossing alternatives including the Ambassador Bridge, the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, the Blue Water Bridge, railroad tunnels in Detroit and
Port Huron, and a truck ferry in Detroit; and WHEREAS For the past 83 years the owners and operators of the Ambassador Bridge, the Detroit
International Bridge Company (DIBC), have invested hundreds of millions of private funds in the state of Michigan and have created thousands of Michigan jobs; and
WHEREAS The DIBC has invested nearly $1 billion in recent years to enhance border facilities and to build a second span to the Ambassador Bridge to complement its current crossing and maximize the
utility of the existing roadways and new highway connections created under the multi-million dollar Gateway Project; and
WHEREAS The taxpayers of Michigan spent $230 million rebuilding public infrastructure within the Gateway Project with the premise that there would be a second span of the Ambassador Bridge, paid for
with private funds, and WHEREAS Despite the DIBC,s desire to move forward with the private expansion of the second span of
the bridge that would infuse millions of dollars into the our economy generating thousands of much needed jobs, the DIBC has been thwarted by governmental “ Red-Tape “, and
WHEREAS The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has spent nearly $40 million since 2002 on studies preparing their plan to build a government bridge paid for with tax dollars , and
WHEREAS When spending taxpayers’ dollars on a government sponsored bridge, constitutionally mandated services such as Public Health, Public Safety, Roads and Education, lose sufficient funding;
and WHEREAS MDOT continues to spend scarce state resources in its continued effort to build the New
International Bridge Crossing (NITC) formerly known as the Detroit River International Crossing, (DRIC ) despite actual traffic crossings in the Detroit-Windsor corridor have dropped 50% since 1999; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 07, 2012
439
WHEREAS the NITC, the government bridge, will require the taking of private property to include, but not limited to 257 privately owned homes, 43 businesses and 7 churches and non-profit organizations which
will devastate the hometown community of Delray in Detroit, and WHEREAS no study has demonstrated that a government sponsored crossing could pay for itself without
significant taxpayer subsidy or significant toll increases, and WHEREAS in addition to the taking of private property and the burden on the taxpayers to subsidize the
government bridge, there are concerns about the legal and/or Constitutional issue of the $ 550 million loan to the state of Michigan by the Canadian Parliament, and
WHEREAS the Constitution of the United States of America and the American federal system specifically and expressly reserves the responsibility to negotiate and enter into a loan agreement with another
sovereign nation to the United State of America, and WHEREAS in 1927 the Ambassador Bridge was required to receive a positive vote of the people of both
Detroit, Michigan and Sandwich, Ontario, Canada before proceeding with the construction of the bridge, and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby support the taxpayers of Michigan, the homeowners, landowners, businesses, the churches and urges
the Michigan legislature to reject any proposal not supported by a majority of the citizens of the state of Michigan to build a government bridge.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby support the opportunity for the people of Michigan to decide whether taxpayer dollars should be spent on a bridge
when private funding for a bridge is available. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the Governor, the Lieutenant
Governor, the Michigan House of Representatives, the Michigan Senate and the members of the Michigan Congressional Delegation.

CRIMINALIZING THE SALE, DISPLAY FOR SALE, AND/OR POSSESSION OF SYNTHETIC MARIJUANA
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS synthetic marijuana/cannabinoids and products containing synthetic marijuana/cannabinoids
are chemically engineered substances, similar to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)—the active ingredient in
marijuana—that, when smoked or ingested, can produce a high similar to marijuana. These substances
have recently become a popular alternative to marijuana; and
WHEREAS synthetic marijuana/cannabinoids and products containing synthetic marijuana/cannabinoids, such as those marketed under the names K2, Spice, Blonde, Summit, Standard, Citron, Genie, Zohai,
and Fire and Ice, are often more potent than THC; and WHEREAS the health dangers associated with the ingestion and/or smoking of synthetic
marijuana/cannabinoids and products containing synthetic marijuana/cannabinoids have prompted the banning and/or strict regulation of some or all marijuana/cannabinoids in the several countries, states and
local jurisdictions; and WHEREAS Michigan Senate Bill 1082 proposes to address this issue by amending the Public Health
Code to prohibit and prescribe a criminal penalty for selling a named product that currently or previously contained a Schedule 1 controlled substance, without disclosing that it no longer contains the schedule
ingredient or while representing that it currently contains the scheduled ingredient or a similar ingredient. A violation would be a misdemeanor punishable by up to 93 days’ imprisonment, a maximum fine of
$5,000, or both; and WHEREAS Michigan House Bill 5714 proposes to amend Section 48 of the Administrative Procedures
Act to allow for the promulgation of emergency rules to schedule or reschedule a substance as a controlled substance under certain conditions.
WHEREAS, the sale and possession of synthetic marijuana/cannabinoids and products containing synthetic marijuana/cannabinoids present a serious health and safety danger to Oakland County’s
