#20 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSITION TO DTE RESIDENTIAL RATE INCREASES
AND COSTS ALLOCATION PLAN PROPOSED BEFORE MICHIGAN PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION AND IMPROVE PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Michigan Public Service Commission is currently considering a proposal presented by DTE Electric Company to modify the existing electricity rates; and
WHEREAS the proposed new electric rates would decrease an industrial class customer’s average bill by approximately 5% per month and a residential customer’s average bill may be increased by
approximately 4% per month; and WHEREAS DTE was ordered to propose a new cost allocation proposal by the MPSC as a result of the
passage and enactment of PA 169 of 2014; and WHEREAS Governor Snyder hailed PA 169 as an “affordable energy plan” for Michigan; and
WHEREAS the U.S. Energy Information Administration of the U.S. Department of Energy July 2014 published rates show that Michigan’s residential end user prices are the highest in the Midwest and are
exceeded by only 9 other states in the contiguous United States; and WHEREAS the U.S. Department of Energy July 2014 report indicates that the Michigan residential end
user prices are more than double the price for industrial end users; and WHEREAS notice to the utility customers impacted is being provided by a certified letter to the local units
of government however the law does not provide for notification in customers utility bills; and WHEREAS aging infrastructure and response to emergency situations have already prompted significant
concerns regarding utilities by many Oakland County residents; and NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes
the proposed rate increase on residential customers and requests the Michigan Public Service Commission to reject the cost allocation plan proposed in U-17689.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the Michigan Legislature and Governor to amend the law to the increase notification requirement for rate
increases to include customer billing documents and electronic communications. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the County of Oakland is directed to submit a copy
of this resolution to the Board’s legislative lobbyists, the Office of the Governor, Senate Majority Leader, Senate Minority Leader, Speaker of the House, House Minority Leader and the Oakland
County delegation to the Michigan Legislature. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing Resolution.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT OF HOUSE BILL 5095 AMENDING STATE LAWS GOVERNING LARGE SCALE ANIMAL BREEDING AND HOLDING FACILITIES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS currently Michigan has no regulations in place specifically governing large-scale dog breeding and holding facilities; and
WHEREAS in the last four years, there have been several reported instances of large-scale animal breeding operations that have been shut down in Michigan due to animal abuse based on poor sanitary
conditions for the animals; and WHEREAS poor sanitary conditions and hazards to animal health have required Animal Control offices to
remove as many as 350 animals from facilities; and WHEREAS the cost of rehabilitating and housing the seized animals prior to adoption has placed a
financial strain on county and local governments responsible for animal control; and WHEREAS prevention of further cases of animal neglect and abuse can be accomplished by updating
Michigan laws governing kennels and other facilities that breed and house large numbers of animals; and WHEREAS legislators have joined together to introduce House Bill 5095 with bipartisan support; and
WHEREAS House Bill 5095 will authorize the Department of Agriculture to create rules that are appropriate to larger facilities but will not create undue burdens on small kennels and hobby breeders;
and WHEREAS House Bill 5095 will ensure greater consumer protection for the adopters of animals by
requiring that large scale facilities provide health records of animals; and WHEREAS House Bill 5095 reduces the risk of large scale animal abuse and the cost implications of the
subsequent seizure of animals by creating a reasonable cap on the number of animals kept for the purpose of breeding in each facility; and
WHEREAS greater clarity in existing state kennel regulations would assist local Animal Control departments in their mission to protect animal welfare and provide appropriate regulation relative to the
number of dogs in each facility. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports
House Bill 5095 as a necessary measure to update state laws regarding large scale operators of kennels, pet shops and other animal holding facilities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the County of Oakland is directed to submit a copy of this resolution to the Board’s legislative lobbyists, the Office of the Governor, Senate Majority Leader, Senate
Minority Leader, Speaker of the House, House Minority Leader, members of the Senate Agriculture Committee and the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #14286
BY: Commissioners Dave Woodward, District #19 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL 5953 MODIFYING THE
SCHEDULED ELECTIVE TERM OF OFFICE OF THE OAKLAND COUNTY EXECUTIVE To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS House Bill 5953 has been introduced by Representative Klint Kesto with the sole purpose of
ending the long standing practice of electing the Oakland County Executive in traditionally high turnout general elections concurrent with the presidential election and re-scheduling the Executive’s election
cycle to lower turnout mid-term elections; and WHEREAS House Bill 5953 was narrowly written to impact the election of only one office in one county of
the state, creating a local act under Article IV, Section 29 of the Michigan Constitution; and WHEREAS Oakland County voters approved the creation of the County Executive’s office on
August 6, 1974 under a term of office to be concurrent with other countywide elected officials and with the presidential election; and
WHEREAS House Bill 5953 fundamentally changes the foundation upon which the voters approved the creation of the County Executive’s office in 1974; and
WHEREAS the average rate of voter participation in the last three Presidential year elections is Oakland County 72.5%; and
WHEREAS the average rate of voter participation in the last three Gubernatorial year elections in Oakland County is 53.1%; and
WHEREAS the sponsors and supporters of House Bill 5953 have not made a case why the participation of nearly 20% less voters in choosing their County Executive serves the public interest; and
WHEREAS House Bill 5953 is an attempt to change the rules to benefit one party and one individual; and WHEREAS House Bill 5953 would undermine the confidence of the public in their elected officials and be
a step backward for the cause of accountability in county government. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes
House Bill 5953 or any other legislation that would change the term of office and date of election of the Oakland County Executive.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners does not authorize the use of any county resources to lobby elected officials or their staff in support of House Bill 5953 or similar measure.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the County of Oakland is directed to submit a copy of this resolution to the Board’s legislative lobbyists, the Office of the Governor, Senate Majority Leader, Senate
Minority Leader, Speaker of the House, House Minority Leader and the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL 5977 PROHIBITING LOCAL GOVERNMENT’S ABILITY TO ENACT COMMUNITY COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
ORDINANCES To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS Michigan House Bill 5977 was introduced during the lame duck session of the state
legislature and is described by the Michigan Association of Counties as a bill “that would chip away – again – at local control” in our county and elsewhere; and
WHEREAS every community is different and local government exists to reflect and reinforce those unique needs and values; and
WHEREAS the state government does not always know best what works in every town and county; and WHEREAS local communities need authority to create standards beyond what the state requires; and
WHEREAS our best opportunity to bring change is at the local level, where it is easiest for the public to reach our elected officials and hold them accountable; and
WHEREAS we need to protect local control and our right to make local decisions that will make out communities stronger; and
WHEREAS it is wrong for the state to have the final say when it’s local families and communities that have to live with the consequences of state intervention and intrusion in local issues; and
WHEREAS it is wrong for the state government to take a one-size-fits-all approach to law making. The needs of people living in urban areas are not always the same as the needs of people in small towns.
This is why local governments exist – to make sure that laws and policies meet the needs and values of the people who live there; and
WHEREAS we believe that the state has a role in establishing minimum standards, but also equally believe local and county government should be allowed to build and improve beyond those minimums;
and WHEREAS House Bill 5977 takes away a local community’s ability to negotiate what benefits they will
receive in exchange for generous tax incentives to businesses, while also preventing a their ability to act in the best interest of residents and the local economy; and
WHEREAS this legislation is opposed by the Michigan Township Association, the Michigan Municipal League, the Michigan Association of Counties, and other organizations.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes to HB 5977 as an intrusion on local government’s authority to determine community compensation and benefits
policies appropriate for their community. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the County of Oakland is directed to submit a copy of this
