BY: General Government Committee, Christine Long, Chairperson IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – REVISION TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports transparency in government and ensuring the public has access to information about the County; and

requesting such records; and
WHEREAS FOIA requires public bodies to establish procedures and guidelines to implement the fee requirements, provide a public summary of the procedures and guidelines explaining how to submit written requests for public records and the deposit requirements, fee calculations and avenues to appeal
fees; and WHEREAS FOIA requires public bodies to use a standard form to show a detailed itemization of any fees charged. Public Bodies may also use a form created by the Michigan department of technology,
management and budget or create a form of their own that complies with FOIA; and WHEREAS when the Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted Miscellaneous Resolution #15143 on May 21, 2015, it formally established procedures and guidelines for responding to written

portal to enable the public to submit FOIA requests electronically and review an archive of FOIA responses. The system enhances the efficiency of County departments in responding to FOIA requests. The system became operational on December 8, 2015 and is being used by all County departments except the Prosecutor and Water Resources Commissioner; and
WHEREAS the system created by WebQA does not currently have the functionality to populate the invoice that was adopted in Miscellaneous Resolution #15143 but is able to provide the detailed cost
itemization required by FOIA inside a standard letter template; and WHEREAS the County wishes to have the flexibility to provide a detailed cost itemization in a letter
template or an invoice, if one may be used in the system in the future.

updated FOIA Procedures and Guidelines Public Summary. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the documents shall be updated on the County’s website.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #16028 BY: Commissioner Janet Jackson, District #21 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSITION TO HOUSE BILL 5126 AND HOUSE BILL 5127
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS if enacted, House Bills 5126 and 5127 would eliminate the rule requiring parents seeking non-medical waivers to receive balanced education about the benefits of immunizations and risk of disease
from their local public health department; and WHEREAS if enacted, House Bills 5126 and 5127 would prohibit a local public health department’s ability
to exclude children exposed to a communicable disease and who lack vaccine protection, from attending school during an outbreak; and
WHEREAS in December, 2014, the Michigan Department of Community Health passed an Administrative Rule with the intent to allow parents to make an educated, informed choice for their child(ren) and with
the ability for the parent/guardian to maintain the right to obtain a non-medical waiver; and WHEREAS Michigan has one of the highest waiver rates in the country, prompting the enactment of the
new education requirement for Michigan parents regarding immunizations; and WHEREAS Michigan’s recent immunization waiver reforms “have made a real difference for thousands of
children but House Bills 5126 and 5127 threaten that progress” stated Marcus Cheatham, president of the Michigan Association of Local Public Health; and
WHEREAS according to the state Department of Health and Human Services, immunization waivers given to by Michigan parents plummeted by approximately more than 39%, with nearly 8,000 fewer
waivers submitted than the previous year; and WHEREAS in Oakland County waiver rates dropped by 51% as reported by the Michigan State Medical
Society; and WHEREAS Oakland County Health Division has provided this educational program to Oakland County
residents at no cost, with the opportunity to immunize their child(ren) after the session and/or receive the certified waiver; and
WHEREAS Oakland County’s Health Department opposes House Bills 5126 and 5127 and advocates keeping the current process, as revised in 2015, for any parent wanting to opt out due to non-medical
reasons, citing the success of the program across the state and in Oakland County in reducing waiver rates; and
WHEREAS Michigan physicians, nurses, educators and health care providers with the Parent Information Network (PIN) are urging lawmakers to reject dangerous legislation that would repeal the state reform
heralded for significantly decreasing the state’s childhood immunization waiver; and WHEREAS this proactive approach of informing parents regarding the benefits of vaccinations and the
risks of disease has been successful in protecting the health and safety of Michigan’s children. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby declare
their opposition to House Bills 5126 and 5127 as harmful legislation that may endanger the health and safety of Michigan’s children and call for the continuation of parent educational sessions regarding the
importance of immunizations. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds 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
