To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Finance Committee, having reviewed the above referenced resolution and contract agreement, recommends that the attached contract be amended, as follows:
1. Amend Paragraph 4, as follows: 4. Except for the EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCH SERVICE expressly contracted for
herein, the O.C.S.O. and/or any COUNTY AGENT shall not be obligated to provide or assist the CITY or any DESIGNATED EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE PROVIDER
with any EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES or any other direct, indirect, backup, or supplemental support or emergency medical related service or protection, of any kind or
nature, or be obligated to send any COUNTY AGENT to respond, in any way, to any call for EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES. The CITY agrees that this Agreement does
not, and is not intended to, include any O.C.S.O warranty, promise, or guaranty, of any kind or nature whatsoever, concerning the provision of EMERGENCY
MEDICAL DISPATCH SERVICE except that the COUNTY will make a reasonable effort to provide EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCH SERVICE consistent with
existing O.D.S.O communication and dispatching policies, procedures, orders, and standards.
2. Amend Paragraph 11, as follows:
11. In consideration of the County’s promises and efforts under this Agreement, the City shall pay the County $20,049.73 $12,316.67 per month for April 1, 2016 to March 31,
2017. The City shall pay the rate of $22,029.95 $12,931.00 per month for April 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017. The City shall pay the rate of $22,029.95 13,534.67 per month for

month for services rendered the previous month. The CITY shall have 30 days from the date of each invoice to make payment. For example, for services

3. Add Paragraph 12, as follows: 12. If the CITY, for any reason, fails to pay the COUNTY any monies when and as due
under this Agreement the CITY agrees that the COUNTY or the County Treasurer, at their sole option, shall be entitled to set off from any other CITY funds that are in
the COUNTY’S possession for any reason without further notice to the CITY in order to satisfy the CITY’s obligations under this Agreement. . Funds include but
are not limited to the Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund (“DTRF”) and any other source of funds due to the CITY in the possession of the COUNTY. Any setoff or
retention of funds by the COUNTY shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of the amount by the CITY to the COUNTY. The CITY waives any CLAIMS against the
COUNTY or its Officials for any acts related specifically to the COUNTY’S offsetting or retaining such amounts. This paragraph shall not limit the CITY’S
legal right to dispute whether the underlying amount retained by the COUNTY was actually due and owing under this Agreement. If the COUNTY chooses not to
exercise its right to setoff or if any setoff is insufficient to fully pay the COUNTY any amounts due and owing the COUNTY under this Agreement, the COUNTY shall
have the right to charge up to the then-maximum legal interest on any unpaid amount. Interest charges shall be in addition to any other amounts due to the
County under this Agreement. Interest charges shall be calculated using the daily unpaid balance method and accumulate until all outstanding amounts and
accumulated interest are fully paid. Nothing in this paragraph shall operate to limit the COUNTY’S right to pursue or exercise any other legal rights or remedies under
this Agreement against the CITY to secure reimbursement of amounts due the COUNTY under this Agreement. The remedies in this Paragraph shall be available
to the COUNTY on an ongoing and successive basis if the CITY at any time becomes delinquent in its payments. Notwithstanding any other terms and
conditions in this Agreement, if the COUNTY pursues any legal action in any court to secure its payment under this Agreement, the CITY agrees to pay all costs and
expenses, including attorney’s fees and court costs, incurred by the COUNTY in the collection of any amount owed by the CITY.
4. Paragraphs 12, 13 and 14 are deleted, and the remaining paragraphs are renumbered beginning

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED FEDERALIZATION OF WATERWAYS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The General Government Committee, having reviewed the above referenced resolution on March 9, 2015, reports with the recommendation the resolution be adopted.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the acceptance of the foregoing report.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #15001 BY: Commissioner Shelley Taub, District #12
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED FEDERALIZATION OF WATERWAYS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has formally proposed a new rule re-defining their regulatory authority to include nearly every waterway and watershed in the country; and
WHEREAS this rule seeks to fundamentally change federal law, overriding the Clean Water Act’s provision to "recognize, preserve and protect the primary responsibilities of the states" to regulate and
protect the water contained within their borders; and WHEREAS the proposed rule appears to grant federal agencies authorities not specifically granted to
them by the Clean Water Act, and WHEREAS the proposed expansion of authority would include waters that have a "significant nexus" with
existing regulated waterways, a term that does not appear in the Clean Water Act; and WHEREAS the WOTUS (Waters of the United States) rule seeks to overturn U.S. Supreme Court rulings,
primarily Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County v. US. Army Corps of Engineers and Rapanos v. United States, that limit the scope of the EPA regulatory authority; and
WHEREAS the Detroit News has reported that “The Army Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency want to redefine "waters of the United States" subject to regulation to include nearly
every pond, wetland, ditch, drain and dry and pothole in the country. Virtually no body of water, no matter how small, would be out of reach”; and
WHEREAS during the required comment period following publication of this proposed rule, over 870,000 comments were filed with the EPA; and
WHEREAS an objection filed by 375 business and trade associations states “the proposed WOTUS rule would have a devastating impact on businesses of all sizes, States, and local governments without any
real benefit to the environment”; and WHEREAS the National Association of Counties has expressed objections that the proposed rule greatly
141
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 18, 2015
increases the number of county-owned drains and roadside ditches under federal jurisdiction while failing to address long permit delays and the regulatory cost burden on local government; and
WHEREAS H.R. 5078 would prohibit the Corps or EPA from finalizing the proposed “waters” rule or using that proposal or similar proposed rule or guidance as the basis of any rulemaking on the scope of
Clean Water Act jurisdiction, and it would require withdrawal of the interpretive rule; and WHEREAS H.R. 5078 passed the U.S. House Representatives in 2014 with significant bi-partisan
support; and WHEREAS the scientific study that supports the proposed rule is still under review and the promulgation

stationary object, such as a structure, a pole, or a tree can be inhumane and may present a threat to the safety of the dog, other animals and human beings; and
153
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 18, 2015
WHEREAS the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and hundreds of animal welfare organizations across the state and country have found
tethering to be inhumane; and WHEREAS research shows that the 24/7, continuous chaining of a dog is often a factor in dog bite-
related fatalities and unprovoked attacks on people and other companion animals; and WHEREAS the continuous tethering of an animal can pose a public safety risk and a danger to the
tethered animal, including severe collar injuries, injuries related to becoming entangled in the tether and exposure-related illnesses, injury and death; and
WHEREAS a study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association estimates that 17% of reported dog bite injuries and deaths nationwide between 1979 and 1998 were caused by
dogs restrained (including by chaining) on their owners’ property at the time of the attack; and WHEREAS an extensive study of fatal dog attacks since 1965 concluded “chained dogs have killed at
least 109 persons (25% of the US dog bite/attack fatalities since 1965); of those fatalities, 99 were children who wandered into the reach of a chained or similarly restrained dog and another 11 were
instances in which chained dogs broke free before attacking (Fatal Dog Attacks, Delise); and WHEREAS the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services of the U.S. Department of Justice has
identified “owners who leave tethered or chained dogs unattended” among “Factors Contributing to Dog-Related Incidents and Encounters”; and

protection of companion animals and to authorize criminal sanctions; and WHEREAS Oakland County Animal Control and local animal control agencies throughout the county
have the authority and responsibility for the enforcement of PA 328 and relevant local ordinances; and WHEREAS clear anti-tethering regulations will provide animal control officers with greater authority to
protect animals and the public with appropriate sanctions for neglectful practices; and WHEREAS Oakland County communities should join the growing number of local governments
throughout the nation that are adopting legislation to end inhumane tethering practices. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners support efforts
to raise public awareness about the dangers of 24/7, continuous tethering of animals. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners requests the support of the Oakland
County Animal Shelter and Pet Adoption Center in efforts to educate the public regarding proper treatment of animals and the dangers of excessive tethering practices.

Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS an estimated 44,000 jobs are funded through Medicaid appropriations to support and serve
people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental illnesses, and substance use disorders; and
WHEREAS staffing shortages tied to low wage rates have created soon-to-be-crisis-level consequences, with many jobs going unfilled for weeks; and
WHEREAS shortages have increased provider’s reliance on overtime, which can increase rates of worker injuries or simple exhaustion and turnover; and
160
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 18, 2015
WHEREAS providers have been unable to add additional patient care services and move patients to new facilities due to the ongoing shortage of qualified direct support staff; and
WHEREAS the estimate average annual turnover within of direct support staff range from 32 to 50 percent; and
WHEREAS turnover destroys continuity of services and supports and requires training a new direct support worker at a cost estimated to average $2,600 to $5,000; and
WHEREAS as the state minimum wage increases, the mandatory low wage rates will make direct care support staffing positions minimum wage jobs; and
WHEREAS wages for personal care aides and home health aides working in Michigan are among the state’s lowest, with levels that fall substantially below 200 percent of the federal poverty line for a single
person; and WHEREAS a third of direct care workers have reported not having any health care insurance, a rate
significantly higher than the state’s general population and among other professional health care aides; and
WHEREAS 41 percent of direct care workers rely on some form of public assistance (e.g., food stamps, housing subsidies) and more than a third rely on Medicaid; and
WHEREAS while over the last 10 years, inflation-adjusted hourly wages (i.e., “real wages”) for nursing aides, orderlies and attendants increased by 3 percent, personal care aide wages have stagnated since
2000 and real wages for home health aides have actually declined; and WHEREAS programs supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, mental illnesses,
and substance use disorders require qualified and reliable staffing; and WHEREAS a partnership of providers, advocates and caregivers have requested additional Medicaid
funding to the Prepaid Inpatient Health Plans (PIHPs) for an increase of wage levels by $1.00 per hour for the next three fiscal years; and
WHEREAS an investment in adequate wages for direct care workers would put more dollars back into the economy, reduce the costs to Medicaid and other public assistance programs while increasing the quality
of care to patients. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners recognizes the
growing crisis created by the growing gap between the increasing population that require direct care services and the high turnover and vacancy rates among home health aides, certified nursing assistants,
direct-support professionals, and personal care assistants—our state’s direct-care workforce. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners recognize that’s this
care gap is greatly exacerbated by the uncompetitive mandatory wage limitation imposed on Michigan Medicaid reimbursement rates to providers for direct care workers.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners supports the proposed three year $1 a year wage increase fair proposal that will be net gain for Michigan citizens, by reintroducing these funds
back into the state economy, reducing the overall burden on state public assistance programs and improving overall patient care.
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
