WHEREAS one of the tools used to promote economic growth is Tax Increment Financing used in conjunction with Corridor Improvement Authorities (CIAs); and
WHEREAS to review requests from the County’s cities, villages and townships to establish DDAs, CIAs and LDFAs, the Board of Commissioners, pursuant to Miscellaneous Resolution #15056, updated the

County’s participation in these proposed authorities; and WHEREAS the Township of Orion (“Township”) held a public hearing on May 16, 2016, to present its CIA

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSITION TO REPEAL OF MICHIGAN PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION FOR DISABLED VETERANS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Michigan House Bill 5169 would eliminate the property tax exemption for veterans who are totally and permanently disabled as a result of military service, have received specially adapted housing
from the Veterans Administration (VA), or who are rated by the VA as individually unemployable due to a service connected disability; and
WHEREAS while HB 5169 would create an income tax credit for disabled veterans, the legislation would effectively increase the tax burden on veterans by $10,000,000, according to the House Fiscal Agency;
and WHEREAS the men and women who answered the call to serve in the military and protect our nation
deserve nothing less than our complete gratitude and appreciation; and WHEREAS many of those veterans of military service paid a dear price for our freedom: limbs lost on far-
flung battlefields, shattered lives and life-long disabilities; and WHEREAS there are approximately 2,800,000 veterans receiving benefits from the Department of
Veterans Affairs for disabilities incurred while defending our Nation; and WHEREAS as the late Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jesse Brown stated, all Americans have a “solemn
obligation to ensure that the men and women disabled in our nation’s defense must never be forgotten or neglected”.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes House Bill 5169 and any other measure that would eliminate the Michigan property tax exemption for
qualified disabled veterans. 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 Appropriations
Committee, members of the House Appropriations Committee and the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR MICHIGAN SENATE BILL 557, ELIMINATE THE REQUIREMENT FOR CITIES AND VILLAGES TO BEAR A PORTION OF THE COST OF
OPENING, WIDENING, AND IMPROVING STATE TRUNK LINE HIGHWAYS To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS Senate Bill 557 was introduced by Senators Marty Knollenberg and Vincent Gregory on
October 13, 2015; and WHEREAS if enacted, Senate Bill 557 would eliminate the requirement under current Michigan law that
local cities and villages bear a portion of the cost of opening, widening, and improving, including construction and reconstruction of state trunk line highways within their borders; and
WHEREAS currently, local cities and villages are responsible for these costs in proportion to their population, 12.5% with a population of 50,000 or more, 11.25% with a population between 40,000 and
50,000, 8.75% with a population between 25,000 and 40,000; and WHEREAS all townships, regardless of population, and all cities and villages with a population under
25,000 are currently exempt from this requirement; and WHEREAS the $1 billion reconstruction and widening project for I-75 in Oakland County has brought to
the forefront the heavy financial burdens placed on some local governments for major improvements on state trunk lines; and
WHEREAS three local municipalities will bear a significant share of the financial burden of this major reconstruction, with the City of Royal Oak estimating their share between $5 and $10 million, the City of
Madison Heights estimating their share at $4.3 million and the City of Troy estimates their share at $8.8 million; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) plans to rehabilitate and repave sections of I-275, which will require cost participation from the City of Novi in the amount of $157,000 and the City
of Farmington Hills in the amount of $779,000; and WHEREAS a basic inequity and lack of fairness exists when some communities are singled out to pay for
these improvements while others are not, without regard to the benefits these communities derive from these projects; and
WHEREAS placing these cost burdens on local governments reallocates resources that could be used for badly needed repairs to local roadways and streets, prioritized by local decision makers; and
WHEREAS Senate Bill 557 will correct the unfair practice of singling out certain communities to bear the significant burden of costs associated with maintaining and improving major state trunk lines and place
that responsibility where is rightfully belongs – the state and federal governments. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the
passage of Senate Bill 557 and encourages its enactment without delay. 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, the Oakland County delegation to the
Michigan Legislature, the City of Madison Heights, the City of Troy, the City of Royal Oak, the City of Southfield, the City of Oak Park, the City of Farmington Hills and the City of Novi.

in human organs who used a passport or otherwise crossed an international border in committing such offense; and

transplant operation in a manner contrary to certain World Health Organization standards; and WHEREAS HR 3694 received unanimous approval from the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee and awaits action by the House of Representatives and Senate; and WHEREAS HR 3694 is a necessary and effective measure to combat the growing international crime of

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #16155
BY: Finance Committee, Tom Middleton, Chairperson IN RE: FACILITIES MANAGEMENT/FACILITIES PLANNING AND ENGINEERING – PRIORITY 2
BUILDING SECURITY ENHANCEMENTS PROJECT To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office conducted a building security enhancement review of all
major on and off-campus buildings, and subsequently prepared a list of recommendations; and WHEREAS the Facilities Planning and Engineering Division (FPE) subsequently prioritized the Sheriff’s
Office list of recommendations into Priority 1, 2, 3, and 4 groupings with the assumption that each grouping would be bid and undertaken in consecutive fiscal years; and
WHEREAS preliminary costs for Building Security Enhancements for all four groupings are included in FY 2016 – FY 2025 Capital Improvement Program; and
WHEREAS the recommended enhancements included upgrading and expanding the number of security cameras, card scanners, Sheriff’s security stations, site hardening measures (e.g., berms, boulders,
fencing and security gates), upgraded security doors, panic alarms, and remodeling of building space to accommodate such security enhancements; and
WHEREAS the Facilities Planning and Engineering (FPE) Division in conjunction with the Purchasing Division issued Request for Proposals (RFPs) and awarded contracts for the Priority 1 building security
enhancements, which are currently underway; and WHEREAS the FY 2016 – FY 2025 Capital Improvement Program set aside $5,468,500 for the Priority 2
building security enhancements in the Capital Improvement Program for FY 2017 under the Building Projects section; and
WHEREAS the Priority 2 building security enhancements will address the Information Technology Building, Courthouse (main), Children’s Village, Emergency Operations and Dispatch Center; Jail, Patrol
Services, Steam Plant, the Water Resources Commissioner Billing Office, North Office Building, Little Oaks, Oakland Pointe, Executive Office Building, and the Clarkston, Novi, Rochester Hills, and Troy
District Courts; and WHEREAS the shootings in San Bernardino, Kalamazoo, and Kansas in recent months reinforces the
need for the County to implement greater building security measures in a timely manner; and WHEREAS it is therefore preferable to expedite the Priority 2 building security enhancements; and
WHEREAS accomplishing this would entail approaching each building individually in priority sequence as opposed to bundling all the buildings together into one Request for Proposal (RFP); and
WHEREAS specialized material, equipment, and major construction would require separate RFPs; and WHEREAS expediting Priority 2 would also entail using competitively bid annual and Priority 1
contractors for Priority 2 work to streamline the number and scope of RFPs needed; and WHEREAS funding for expediting Priority 2 Building Security Enhancements project is available for
transfer from the General Fund (#10100) Assigned Fund Balance for Homeland Security Enhancement (GL #383455) to the Project Work Order Fund (#40400).
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners authorizes the Priority 2 Building Security Enhancements Project (#100000002393) in the amount of $5,468,500.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION # 16158
BY: Commissioner David Woodward, District #19 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS — OAKLAND COUNTY CLERK/REGISTER OF DEEDS
REDUCED FEE FOR CERTIFIED BIRTH RECORDS FOR OAKLAND COUNTY SENIORS To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is invested with the responsibility of serving as
the local registrar and as the custodian of vital records; and WHEREAS Public Act 368 of 1978 authorizes the governing body of a local government with jurisdiction
over a local registrar to establish a system of fees to provide for the maintenance of a vital records program; and
WHEREAS PA 368 provides that the fees established by a local government for certified copies of vital records shall be equal or less than the fee amounts authorized by statute to obtain records from the state
registrar; and WHEREAS PA 368 further provides that “these fees shall be used for the maintenance and sustenance of
the vital records fees program only. The fees shall alleviate any burden to the taxpayers to provide this worthwhile program”; and
WHEREAS PA 368 states, “Upon formal application, the state registrar shall charge a person 65 years of age or older a fee of $14.00 for a search for and 1 certified copy of his or her birth record”; and
WHEREAS the current fee for a search and certified copy of a birth record in Oakland County has been set at $15.00 per record and $5.00 per additional copy of the same record; and
WHEREAS an enhanced access fee in the amount of $5.00 per item has also been established for online requests for vital records; and
WHEREAS as a result of the adoption of MR #14083, the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds, the County Executive and Department of Management and Budget undertook a study of Oakland County’s
vital records fees to explore costs related to maintenance of the vital records program; and WHEREAS the resulting study found that the current $15 fee for a certified record exceeded costs, “it
currently costs approximately $9.13 to produce a certified copy of a record”; and WHEREAS the state registrar has recommended that the local fees established to provide 1 certified
copy of a birth record for individuals 65 or older no longer exceed the $14 state registrar’s fee set by statute; and
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County vital records fee schedule be amended to reflect that a person 65 years of age or older shall be charged $10.00 to search and obtain 1 certified
copy of his or her birth record. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Access Oakland Master Fee Schedule be amended to reflect that
a person 65 years of age or older shall not be charged an additional fee for an online application to search and obtain 1 certified copy of his or her birth record.

BY: Commissioners Michael J. Gingell, District #1; Shelley Taub, District #12; Gary McGillivray, District #20
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – YOUTH ENRICHMENT SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS Oakland County Youth Assistance has identified an opportunity to provide at-risk young
people with positive experiences and personal development through a Youth Enrichment Scholarship Program; and
WHEREAS a 2001 Washington State Institute for Public Policy (WSIPP) study found that the total benefits of effective prevention programs for young people were far greater than their costs, finding that

WHEREAS positive youth development programs offer “an intentional, pro-social approach that engages youth within their communities, schools, organizations, peer groups, and families in a manner that is
productive and constructive; recognizes, utilizes, and enhances youths' strengths; and promotes positive outcomes for young people by providing opportunities, fostering positive relationships, and furnishing the
support needed to build on their leadership strengths”; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Youth Enrichment Scholarship program will allow recipients to receive up
to $500 for activities that will: a) Encourage the individual student’s ability to succeed in or connect to school,
b) Encourage the student to be exposed to and develop new skills, c) Prepare students for work or college,
d) Allow students to attend summer camp that addresses a special need; and WHEREAS the program will be targeted to individuals who are:

c) On Probation, d) In the Re-Entry Program; and
WHEREAS program funds will be administered through the Oakland County Youth Assistance Coordinating Council, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, that was established to enhance the mission
and capacity of all 26 of the local Youth Assistance offices; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Youth Assistance Coordinating Council will work with local offices to
identify individuals that would benefit from this program and will work to ensure the program reaches communities throughout the County on a fair and equitable basis; and
WHEREAS the central office of Youth Assistance will be responsible for coordinating the program and establishing guidelines and procedures; and
WHEREAS funding is available for the Youth Enrichment Scholarship Program from royalties accrued in the Board of Commissioners Prescription Drug Discount Card Program assigned fund balance.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the partnership with Oakland County Youth Assistance and the Oakland County Youth Assistance
