MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #14048 BY: Commissioners Kathy S. Crawford, District #9 and Helaine Zack, District #18
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR SILVER KEY COALITION RECOMMENDATION MICHIGAN BE A “NO WAIT STATE” FOR SENIOR IN-HOME SERVICES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS a concerned coalition of senior advocacy groups has formed under the name Silver Key Coalition, which includes AARP Michigan, the Alzheimer’s Association, the Area Agency on Aging
Association of Michigan, the Area Agency on Aging 1-B and many other organizations; and WHEREAS the Silver Key Coalition has identified areas of serious concern where shifting of state
resources would benefit seniors who need basic services; and WHEREAS the Coalition reports that in 2014 nearly 4,500 seniors are on wait lists for basic services such
as home delivered meals and help with bathing, dressing, medication, shopping and household chores; and
WHEREAS long wait times for seniors have serious impacts such as an increased likelihood to end up living in a nursing home, seeking health care from a hospital emergency room and some die waiting for
assistance; and WHEREAS an increase of $5 million for the fiscal year 2015 will be needed to allow the Michigan Office
of Services to the Aging in-home services programs to begin addressing the service needs of those on wait lists, accommodate anticipated new requests for assistance, and begin addressing the needs of the
underserved population of individuals who are receiving assistance; and WHEREAS the effort to make Michigan a “No Wait State” for in-home services will be a key component of
a larger strategy to make Michigan a retirement destination of choice that attracts and retains retirees, and captures the significant social and economic benefits of an aging population; and
WHEREAS a $5 million investment will yield many benefits to taxpayers, businesses and the state, including creating approximately 200 new jobs, returning approximately $350,000 in state tax revenue
and support Michigan businesses as 75% of the food is purchased from Michigan based sources; and WHEREAS Oakland County’s senior population represents 12% of county residents and the senior
population expected to double by 2030; and WHEREAS the February 2010 report “Preparing for the Silver Tsunami” from the Oakland County Senior
Planning Coalition provides significant evidence and support for the economic benefits of retaining retirees for the local economy, “for each 100 retirees that move to or stay in Oakland County we can
anticipate in excess of $4 million spent in the local economy and $1.4 million spent on healthcare”; and WHEREAS “Preparing for the Silver Tsunami” identified the following existing delays as of February 2010:
• Family caregivers in need of out of home respite have a four month wait in scheduling the next available opening (AAA 1-B),
• There were 710 individuals on the Oakland County MI Choice Medicaid nursing home alternative home care wait list on January 1, 2010, including 23 nursing home residents (AAA 1-B); and
WHEREAS Oakland County policies have supported efforts to maintain and grow the health care economy as well as provide programs with necessary care for the rapidly growing senior population of the
region. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the
Silver Key Coalition’s recommendation of a FY 2015 allocation increase of $5 million in state general revenue funding for in-home services provided through the Michigan Office of Services to the Aging for
the purpose of eliminating the state’s chronic in-home service wait lists of older Michiganians and encourages members of the Michigan legislature and Governor to support this effort.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward copies of this adopted resolution to Governor Rick Snyder, the Oakland County delegation to the
Michigan Legislature, the Silver Key Coalition, the Area Agency on Aging 1-B and the Oakland County legislative lobbyists.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #14059 BY: Planning and Building Committee, Jim Runestad, Chairperson
IN RE: FACILITIES MANAGEMENT/FACILITIES PLANNING & ENGINEERING – FRIEND OF THE COURT – OFFICE EXPANSION AND RENOVATION PROJECT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Friend of the Court’s staffing and workload continues to increase; and WHEREAS there is no additional unoccupied space in the Oakland Pointe Building at 230 Elizabeth Lake
Road; and WHEREAS FOC administration would like to move their Systems Support/Scanning Unit into available
office space in the Michigan Tax Tribunal suite at 250 Elizabeth Lake Road; and WHEREAS the Michigan Tax Tribunal will continue to have its own office (1302W), entrance, and waiting
room at 250 Elizabeth Lake Road; and WHEREAS by moving the Unit, FOC will be able to meet several goals the agency has had for many
years, including: • Consolidating Systems Support/Scanning Help Desk staff and other IT functions into one
location, to provide more timely resolution to technology-related issues; and • Creating a Customer Service Center for technical needs of the public; and
• Consolidating the customer service department (typists, telephone operators, and front desk staff) into the space that Systems Support/Scanning vacates in 230 Elizabeth Lake Road to allow for
better training of new employees and provide better coverage between functional areas (e.g., typists can answer the phone when they complete their typing duties without having to relocate to
a different area); and • Using the vacated space in 230 Elizabeth Lake Road to create referee offices, which would be
more conducive than the open space currently available for hearing follow-up, doing paperwork, and accommodating private meetings with litigants and attorneys; and
WHEREAS the Friend of the Court has worked with Facilities Planning & Engineering (FPE) to prepare renovation and move-in plans; and
WHEREAS the total project costs would be $35,000 and the work will be performed by Facilities Management’s annual (competitively-bid) contractors; and
WHEREAS the State will reimburse the County 66.7% for one-time capital costs associated with this project, billed through existing internal service funds, such as telephone communications, maintenance
operations, IT Expenses(Data Processing), etc. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners authorizes the transfer of
funding for the Friend of the Court Expansion and Renovation Project.

AND SEWERAGE SYSTEM (DWSD) BY OAKLAND COUNTY GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITIES To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the provision of clean water supplies and the disposal of sewage in a safe and cost effective
manner is essential to the personal and economic health, safety and welfare of our community; and WHEREAS Michigan law authorizes counties to establish county water and sewage disposal systems
and allows counties to join with one or more other municipalities to incorporate an authority for the purpose of acquiring, owning, improving, enlarging, extending, and operating a sewage disposal system
and or a water supply system (See, 1939 P.A. 342, MCL 46.171, et seq.; 1955 P.A. 233, MCL 124.281 et seq.); and
WHEREAS Section 13(c) of 1973 P.A. 139, the Optional Unified Form of County Government Act, charges the County Executive with preparing comprehensive plans for the overall development of the
county, with coordinating the preparation of county capital improvement plans, with supervising economic development functions and with representing the county in joint planning activities with other jurisdictions;
and WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has designated the Water Resources
Commissioner to act as the County Agency for projects established under the County Public Improvement Act of 1939, 1939 P.A. 342; and
WHEREAS the Detroit Water and Sewerage System (DWSD) currently provides water services to 34 Oakland County Communities and provides sewerage services to 37 Oakland County jurisdictions. These
communities are home to thousands of Oakland County businesses and some 1.03 million (85.8%) Oakland County residents; and
WHEREAS while the service area of the DWSD touches 8 counties, the main service area for the DWSD includes the Counties of Oakland, Macomb and Wayne which are home to some 3.8 million residents,
137
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 17, 2014
some 38.8% of the Michigan population, home to 1.6 million jobs which is 41.3% of Michigan’s jobs total and whose economic activity generates 47.4% of Michigan’s total GDP; and
WHEREAS the DWSD is a department of the government of City of Detroit, a Michigan municipality currently in bankruptcy; and
WHEREAS the City of Detroit, through the Office of Emergency Manager, has indicated in court filings that the City intends to monetize the assets of the DWSD in order to divert funds out of the DWSD to be
used by the City to satisfy City of Detroit obligations outside of the water and sewer system; and WHEREAS the City of Detroit, through the Office of Emergency Manager, has indicated in court filings,
that the City intends, for at least the next 40 years, to continually shift both City and DWSD system costs away from City taxpayers and City retail DWSD customers and to direct the burden of those costs to
suburban wholesale DWSD customers using a variety of mechanisms, including but not limited to, rate of return payment subsidies, greatly accelerated payments for City pension obligations, “affordability
programs” designed solely for City retail customers and/or via the use of payments in lieu of taxes (PILOT) charges; and
WHEREAS DWSD financial operations have been troubled over the past seven years when $1.5 billion in operating losses have been incurred in part because of transactions adding no value to the operations of
the system including the abandonment of $514 million in capital projects and $547 million in swap termination fees, both costs having been “written-off” and charged to ratepayers; and
WHEREAS the operating losses have so weakened the balance sheet of the DWSD that the combined net equity position as of June 30, 2013 of the water and sewer operations is a meager $20 million and
declining; and WHEREAS the DWSD is carrying approximately 700 positions it’s management has publically admitted
they consider to be unnecessary, yet they still only intend on reducing through attrition between now and 2022, rejecting a more proactive approach to restructuring that would save system ratepayers millions of
dollars; and WHEREAS City retail water and sewer customers and certain other DWSD customers are currently
experiencing and can reasonably be expected to continue experiencing, significant and sustained payment deficiencies annually costing the DWSD millions in bad debt expenses and depriving the system
of revenues essential to on-going system operations; and WHEREAS the DWSD is an aged, monopolistic system that is admittedly significantly over-staffed, is
carrying some $5.5 billion in bond debt, is facing billions in unfunded pension and health care liabilities and, due to a combination of prior poor management, corruption and intentional deferred maintenance
and upkeep, requires an estimated, additional $2.5 to $5 billion in revenues to support critical infrastructure maintenance and capital improvements over the next ten years; and
WHEREAS given the state of the system and its unmet operating and capital needs, it simply cannot afford the diversion of funds away from the water and sewer operations as is contemplated by the Office
of Emergency Manager; and WHEREAS it is fundamentally unjust and unfair to force DWSD wholesale rate-payers to fund basic City
of Detroit services unrelated to water and sewer services by diverting revenues out of the DWSD system, thereby forcing substantial rate increases to raise the additional revenue necessary to fund operations,
maintenance and improvements already required to maintain the system in compliance with State and Federal law; and
WHEREAS responsible governmental stewardship mandates that Oakland County explore for itself and for its municipalities and taxpayers meaningful alternatives to the use of the DWSD for the short, middle
and long term; and WHEREAS the FY 2014 First Quarter Financial Forecast and Budget Amendments resolution forecasts
the County will complete FY 2014 with an overall favorable variance of $13,184,543 for General Fund/General Purpose operations thereby reducing the utilization of Fund Balance planned for FY 2014;
and WHEREAS it is recommended that $3,000,000 be re-assigned from the Committed to FY 2014 fund
balance assignment (GL#383447) to a new assignment of fund balance titled DWSD Evaluation/Alternatives (GL#383395).
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that pursuant to the dictates of Act 139 and Act 233 set forth above the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby requests that the Oakland County Executive
and the Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner promptly conduct a review of responsible
138

alternatives to the continued use of the Detroit Water and Sewer System (DWSD) by Oakland County Government and by Oakland County communities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board authorizes the retention, in a manner consistent with the Oakland County Purchasing Policies established by the Board of Commissioners, of such technical,
financial, legal and other experts as may be necessary to assist in the examination of alternatives to the continued, monopolistic use of the DWSD.

REPORT (MISC. 14049) BY: General Government Committee, Christine Long, Chairperson IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OAKLAND COUNTY CLERK/REGISTER OF DEEDS DISCOUNTED FEE POLICY AND APPLICATION PROCESS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The General Government Committee, having reviewed the above referenced resolution on March 31, 2014, reports with the recommendation the resolution be adopted as follows:
“Discounted Fee Policy It is the policy of the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds office to provide services and copies of
documents regardless of the Oakland County resident’s ability to pay. Upon presentation of a letter by an accredited social services agency or other documentation evidencing financial hardship, the
Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds may reduce or waive the fee for needed vital records.” Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the acceptance of the foregoing
report. GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #14049
BY: Commissioner Marcia Gershenson, District #13 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OAKLAND COUNTY CLERK/REGISTER OF DEEDS
DISCOUNTED FEE POLICY AND APPLICATION PROCESS To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS Oakland County is rebounding from the economic downturn. The 2010 Census shows that
11% percent of children under the age of 17 are living with families whose income was below the poverty level; and
WHEREAS many indigent residents are unable to afford the fees for, and need copies of, vital records in order to enroll children in school, gain employment, qualify for housing and state assistance, and obtain a
state identification card; and WHEREAS the cost of obtaining vital records, such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, and death
certificates may impose a financial hardship on individuals who are homeless and families with limited financial resources; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Public Health Code, Public Act 358 of 1978 [MCL 333.2891(16a)] provides that “the governing body of a local governmental unit that has jurisdiction over a local registrar may adopt a
system of fees for the local registrar that provides for fees less than or equal to the fees set forth [by the State]”; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds’ Vital Records Department is responsible for, amongst other duties, recording and safeguarding birth, death, marriage documents; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has previously established policies to provide services to Oakland County residents regardless of the individual’s ability to pay, in which discounts are
offered based upon household income and size; and WHEREAS the principle of a discounted or waived fee would be appropriate to assure that individuals in
need of access to their vital records are not denied this documentation due to an inability to pay. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, hereby
approves adjustments to the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds fee schedule, to establish the following:
Discounted Fee Policy It is the policy of the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds office to provide services and copies of
documents regardless of the Oakland County resident’s ability to pay. Upon presentation of a letter by an accredited agency or other documentation evidencing financial hardship, the Oakland County
Clerk/Register of Deeds may reduce or waive the fee for needed vital records. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, through the General
Government Committee, shall review the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds discounted fee policy every three (3) years.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward copies of this adopted resolution to the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds.

request; and WHEREAS the bid from Midfield Management, LLC, is comparable to the current Oakland Air lease; and

Agreement; and WHEREAS it is the recommendation of the Departments of the Sheriff and Facilities Management that
the Oakland County Board of Commissioners accept and approve the terms and conditions of the attached Hangar Lease Agreement; and
WHEREAS under the terms and conditions of the attached Hangar Lease Agreement, Midfield Management, LLC, will provide 30-minute access to the hangar, adequate storage space for the

BY: Commissioner Nancy Quarles, District #17 and Mike Bosnic, District #16 RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR LEGISLATION GRANTING PROPERTY TAX
RELIEF FOR BUSINESSES IMPACTED BY SEVERLY DETERIORATED ROADS To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the Michigan Transportation Asset Management Council reports that 25.4% of paved roads in
Oakland County are rated “poor” or worse; and WHEREAS Michigan’s road system is chronically underfunded and poor roads are an indication of a need
to invest in infrastructure, but conditions have worsened for some areas to the point where people can no longer wait for action; and
WHEREAS conditions on some local roads have deteriorated so severely, motorists are now reluctant to use the road with the resulting losses of the economic and social benefits the road confers; and
WHEREAS severely deteriorated roads are putting an undue burden on already struggling businesses and are often located in communities already dealing with economic challenges; and
WHEREAS in 2010, a proposal was made jointly by Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson, the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce and members of the state legislature for legislation to provide
property tax relief for businesses affected by long term road construction; and WHEREAS similar to the situation in 2010, businesses in Oakland County are suffering significant
decreased sales due to road conditions and property tax relief is greatly needed; and WHEREAS severely deteriorated road conditions likely will require a long construction process and
property tax relief should include consideration for the losses suffered by businesses during this time; and WHEREAS legislative action is needed now to help struggling businesspeople with decreased sales cope
with the failure of government officials to properly maintain the roadways. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners calls upon
Governor Snyder and members of the Michigan legislature to propose and adopt on an expedited schedule property tax relief for business owners along severely deteriorated roadways, appropriate to the
level of decreased sales and length of delays caused by the conditions/repairs. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward
copies of this adopted resolution to Governor Rick Snyder. the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature, the Michigan Association of Counties; the Road Commission of Oakland County;
the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce; the City of Southfield and the Oakland County legislative lobbyists.

with it. It’s a problem that touches all people. Not just specifically one group”; and WHEREAS more than 30,000 people of Armenian descent reside in Southeast Michigan and many call
Oakland County home; and WHEREAS included among these many Armenian citizens are refugees, direct descendants and
relatives whose lives were touched by the genocide; and WHEREAS April 24, 2014 has been designated by community and religious leaders as Armenian Martyr’s
Day, a day of Memorial observance; and WHEREAS even as we confront the inhumanity of 1915, we also are inspired by the remarkable spirit,
strength, tenacity and courage of the Armenian people and their contributions which have enriched our communities, spurred our economy, and strengthened our democracy; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners desires to join in this observance to commemorate the victims of these crimes against humanity and express our desire that these horrors are
never forgotten. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
declare April 24, 2014, and each subsequent anniversary, in perpetuity, to be Armenian Martyrs’ Day in Oakland County.
