Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the south entrance to the courthouse currently has one security scan station; and
WHEREAS at times, particularly on motion day, the public queue extends out of the lobby and along the outside walk; and
WHEREAS the Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners wishes to eliminate or significantly reduce such public queuing; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff’s Office has identified the primary cause of the public queuing to be the time required to process a significant number of people through a single scan station and therefore is
proposing to add a second scan station; and WHEREAS the Sheriff’s Office has also determined that the layout of the lobby is suboptimal from a
security perspective, since the Deputies on duty are positioned with their backs to the elevators, stairwell exit, judges’ chambers hallway, and Clerk’s Office hallway; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff’s Office has identified that the safety of the Deputies will be enhanced by introducing security/ballistics-grade walls in front of the scan stations, behind which the Deputies will be
protected from gunfire and will be able to defend the public from a hostile intruder; and WHEREAS Facilities Management/Facilities Planning & Engineering, in cooperation with the Chairperson
of the Board of Commissioners and the Sheriff’s Office, redesigned the scan stations and proposed a more secure lobby configuration; and
WHEREAS a second scan station will be installed this fall and the security-grade walls will be installed when they are delivered by the contractor this winter; and
WHEREAS project budget includes security stations (Allied Building Service – see attached Bid Summary) for $79,450, flooring (Flooring Transformations, an annual contractor) for $5,000, metal
detectors (GSA pre-approved vendor) for $15,600, labor and misc. materials for $54,400, and contingency for $23,170, yielding a total project cost of $177,620; and

Sheriff’s Deputy personnel manning the entrance. 3. A second scan station is proposed and will be installed this fall and security-grade walls installed
when they are delivered by the contractor this winter. 4. The cost of the Courthouse South entrance security lobby enhancement renovations is estimated
at $177,620. 5. The funding for the enhancement project in the amount of $177,620 is available for transfer from
the General Fund Assigned Fund Balance for Homeland Security Enhancements (G/L Account #383455) to the Project Work Order Fund to support the County’s security enhancement initiative.

“establish policies to be followed by the government of the county in the conduct of its affairs.”; and

WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners support efforts to fulfill a mission at the Oakland County Animal Control and Pet Adoption Center of maintaining an open admissions shelter and to find a home for every adoptable, treatable animal possible; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners further supports efforts to aggressively pursue transfers to other facilities for animals that cannot find homes or care within County
facilities; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners further supports efforts to maximize the use of volunteers, recruitment of foster families and encourage the non-profit community to

583
WHEREAS this revolution is referred to as “no kill” where the euthanasia of cats and dogs is solely reserved for the true meaning of the word, “an act of mercy” for those too ill or vicious to
be rehabilitated and all healthy and treatable dogs and cats live and are rehomed; and WHEREAS there is a proven set of programs used to achieve a “no kill” status for an open
admission shelter called the No Kill Equation and shelters following this formula achieve a live release rate of 90% or better of their intake of cats and dogs; and
WHEREAS the No Kill Equation is based upon best practices and a problem solving proactive approach using the result of research and studies which are dispelling many long-held animal
welfare beliefs such as overpopulation, predictability of behavior by breed, rehabilitatable conditions and the influence of the shelter environment on medical and behavior responses; and
WHEREAS ten of Michigan’s 83 counties are following the No Kill Equation and saving 90% or more of the cats and dogs in their care; and
WHEREAS a study undertaken by the No Kill Advocacy Center in 2010 found no correlation between shelter expenditures and the ability to save lives, demonstrating that success in saving
lives is not a matter of dollars and cents but instead a matter of creative and innovative management; and
WHEREAS the AP Petside Poll taken in October 2011 found that 71% of Americans expect shelters to save all healthy and treatable cats and dogs in their care and reserve euthanasia for only those
too ill or of danger to the community; and WHEREAS Oakland County Pet Advocates have provided public comment at Board of
Commissioners’ meetings in excess of six months, demanding that the Oakland Pet Adoption Center achieve the no kill status sooner rather than later; and
WHEREAS Oakland County residents expect an effective and efficient use of their tax dollars which aligns with the problem solving approach of no kill; and WHEREAS the Oakland Pet Adoption Center has publically set as its goal to become a no kill shelter; and
WHEREAS the Oakland Pet Adoption Center has demonstrated their successful ability to improve performance by:
• reducing shelter intake through proactive low cost spay/neuter programs for low income residents and Trap, Neuter and Return programs for free roaming cats and insuring all adopted animals are spayed/neutered prior to adoption; and • increasing adoptions through social media marketing, off-site adoption events, satellite
locations and collaboration with rescue organizations; and • implementing medical protocols including efforts to physically separate dogs and cats;

The maintenance of an active adoption policy that utilizes numerous programs to increase adoption and transfer rates of animals to other animal welfare organizations. Such a
program should include adequate staffing to ensure that animals in the shelter can be tracked and their status can be communicated to these organizations. This program
should also include special adoption promotions, offering adoption events during off hours for working people and in different regions of the county. 2. Maintain a strong public relations and volunteer recruitment/coordination program. Through the expansion of these efforts the shelter will find a resource of assistance in

3. Adequate veterinary staffing is a concern that has been expressed both within the department and from concerned citizens. The staff is encouraged to participate in
specialized training in animal shelter medicine. 4. The Department should pursue additional low cost or free spay/neuter programs. The
Department should also consider offering these services on an occasional basis in areas of the county with the greatest economic challenges.
In the pursuit of these goals, the Department shall have the support of the Board of
Commissioners if additional funding or staffing is necessary.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the following policy is adopted for animals at the Oakland County Animal Control and Pet Adoption Center:

organizations registered with Oakland County. Animals who for time reasons are at risk of being re-designated as unadoptable/untreatable shall be listed as such no later
than ten (10) days prior to that date. All cats and dogs adopted (transferred) in partnership to rescue organizations under this policy shall have all fees waived, with
the exception of licensing fees, and the animal will be spayed/neutered prior to transfer (unless medical conditions dictate otherwise in which case the rescue can return at a future date for the spay/neuter procedure). No animals determined healthy or treatable shall be euthanized until such time as the shelter has reached or is in
danger of reaching capacity. The shelter shall aggressively pursue partnerships to provide overflow capacity in such situations.
