IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSITON TO PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP’S PROPOSED REDUCTIONS IN FUNDING TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES AND THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT THAT SUPPORT THE MEALS ON WHEELS AMERICA PROGRAMS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies, and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Older Americans Act has supported senior nutrition programs for 45 years. The Meals on Wheels America (MOW) program was established in 1974 as the nation’s nutrition program for seniors 60
years and older in an effort to combat hunger and poverty; and WHEREAS the Older Americans Act nutrition program, that functions under the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services, covers 35% of the costs of the local MOW programs delivered by the 5,000 local agencies who provide nutritious meals, safety checks and friendly visits to seniors; and
WHEREAS the MOW program ensures that seniors have adequate nutrition that is necessary for health, functionality and the ability to remain independent; and
WHEREAS MOW served over 219 million meals nationwide to 2.4 million homebound senior citizens in 2016 by volunteers driving and delivering meals; and
WHEREAS MOW can provide a vulnerable senior with meals for one year for approximately the cost of one day in a hospital; and
WHEREAS 1 in 6 seniors struggles with hunger and the MOW program has been effective in improving the quality of life and nutrition of elderly citizens; and
WHEREAS Ellie Hollander, President and Chief Executive of Meals on Wheels America, stated to the Washington Post “a 2013 study indicated if every state increased the number of older Americans who
received meals by just 1 percent, it would have saved Medicaid more than $109 million a year”; and WHEREAS it is not just a meal, as conveyed in the SAGE Journal, MOW also provides the opportunity for
volunteers to do a safety check for falls, failing health as well as brings relief to their isolation; and WHEREAS MOW clients report fewer falls which saves the nation $34 billion each year reported Eliott
McLaughlin of CNN; and WHEREAS programs such as MOW helps keep older adults in their homes and proves to be more cost
effective by saving billions in Medicare and Medicaid costs, rather than seniors living in nursing-home care; and
WHEREAS President Trump’s 2018 budget proposal calls for cutting funds to the Department of Housing and Urban Development by approximately $6.2 billion and includes cuts of $3 billion to the Community
Development Block Grant program that provides funding for MOW and for a variety of community development and anti-poverty programs impacting already vulnerable seniors and citizens; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 10, 2017
275
WHEREAS in addition, the 2018 budget proposal calls for funding cuts to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services by 17.9% that is expected in a devastating financial impact to the Meals On Wheels
America programs; and WHEREAS program cuts should not be made at the expense of economically disadvantaged seniors,
veterans, and other vulnerable Americans; and WHEREAS Meals on Wheels America reported that 9.6 million seniors nationwide are facing the threat of
hunger, and 15.2 million are living alone in isolation; and WHEREAS MOW is already serving 23 million fewer meals than in 2005 and waiting lists are mounting in
every state; and WHEREAS with 12,000 individuals turning 60 every day nationwide, the senior population is increasingly
threatened by hunger and federal funding is failing drastically to keep pace; and WHEREAS Meals on Wheels America reports that in Michigan there are 106,981 seniors in the local
MOW programs with a total of 9,998,095 meals served, with 324,339 seniors threatened by hunger and 574,417 living in near poverty; and
WHEREAS it is estimated that the population change of older adults 60+ for Oakland County will grow from 278,298 in 2016 to 312,989 in 2020 with continuous population increase projected through 2030;
and WHEREAS with proposed funding cuts to federal programs that support MOW, millions of vulnerable
seniors who rely on a nutritious meal every day, as well as a safety check and a visit from a volunteer will be left behind.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby opposes the proposed funding cuts to the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U. S.
Health and Human Services budgets that provide financial support to the Meals on Wheels America programs that service our nation’s most vulnerable seniors.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners encourages all organizations, private and public, to take action to protect the federal, state and local funding that enables
the Meals on Wheels America programs to provide nutritious meals, safety checks and friendly visits that improve the lives of America’s seniors.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward copies of this adopted resolution to the President of the United States, the United States Congress, the
Speaker of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the Michigan Congressional delegation, the Governor of the State of Michigan, the State Senate Majority and

WHEREAS the Great Lakes basin includes eight states having an impact on more than 35 million people in the United States and Canada; and
WHEREAS building on years of research, monitoring and planning the Great Lakes region came together in 2005 and developed the Great Lakes Regional Collaboration Strategy to restore and protect the Great
Lakes; and WHEREAS the Strategy was developed with input from more than 1,500 stakeholders and identifies

WHEREAS the Brookings Institution estimated that by implementing the Great Lakes Regional Collaboration Strategy would generate $50 billion in long-term benefits; and
WHEREAS the Environmental Protection Agency launched the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (“GLRI”) with broad public support in 2010; and
WHEREAS Since 2010, Congress has provided more than $2.2 billion in funding to GLRI to promote the cleanup of toxic hotspots, prevent the spread of invasive species, curb the growth of harmful algae
blooms, and promote the overall well-being of the Great Lakes; and WHEREAS the Brookings Institution report shows that every $1 invested in the Great Lakes restoration

Oakland County. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby

BY: Commissioner Dave Woodward, District #19 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – IN SUPPORT OF SAFE STAFFING LEVELS OF NURSES AT
TENET DMC HURON VALLEY – SINAI HOSPITAL To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS Nurses are the largest segment of the healthcare workforce and those who provide the most
direct and continuous skilled care to people of every age; and WHEREAS every resident of Oakland County deserves the highest quality of nursing care while
hospitalized; and WHEREAS dozens of objective, scientific studies provide evidence of the link between inadequate
staffing levels of Registered Nurses and increased adverse outcomes for hospital patients; and WHEREAS massive reductions in nursing budgets have resulted in fewer nurses, and more nurses
working longer hours and caring for sicker patients; and WHEREAS the perceived practice of short staffing registered nurses to squeeze out extra profit by the
Tenet DMC Huron Valley – Sinai Hospital is a business practice that compromises health care by creating an environment that exacerbates the nurses ability to care for Oakland County patients and drives nurses
from the bedside; and WHEREAS Hospitals with low nurse staffing levels tend to have higher rates of poor patient outcomes
such as pneumonia, shock, cardiac arrest, and urinary tract infections, according to research funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and others; and
WHEREAS Nurses at Tenet DMC Huron Valley – Sinai Hospital have reported significant concerns regarding staffing levels at their facility, which thousands of Oakland County residents depend on for
care; and WHEREAS furthermore, research has shown when there are more RNs, there are shorter lengths of stay
and fewer complications with resultant reduced costs; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners would urge the Tenet DMC Huron Valley –
Sinai Hospital to implement a system that ensures the hospital will be staffed with an appropriate number of Registered Nurses to ensure patient safety and suggests reporting of nurse staffing levels, patient mix

Bowman, District #10 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSING PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP’S PROPOSED ELIMINATION OF FUNDING PROVIDED TO THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the budget proposed by President Trump signals a disturbing and perilous vision for America
that abandons the millions of people who view the arts as a fundamental part of American lives and American education; and
WHEREAS the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) is the independent federal agency that works to give people across America the opportunity to participate in and experience the arts; and
WHEREAS the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) through their “Arts and Cultural Production Satellite Account” calculates the arts and culture sector’s contributions to U.S. gross domestic product

million constitutes approximately .004 percent of the federal budget; and WHEREAS in FY 2016, the NEA recommended more than 2,400 grants in nearly 16,000 communities in
every Congressional District in the country; and WHEREAS approximately 36% of NEA grants go to organizations that reach underserved populations
such as people with disabilities, people in institutions, and veterans; and WHEREAS approximately 33% of NEA grants serve low-income audiences; and
WHEREAS approximately 50% of NEA arts education grantees are located in high-poverty neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS the NEA grants provide a significant return on investment of federal dollars with $1 of NEA direct funding leveraging up to $9 in private and other public funds, resulting in $500 million in matching
support in 2016; and WHEREAS NEA research shows that federal funding for cultural activities stimulates local economies and
improves the quality of civic life throughout the country, the NEA supports programs, such as those within the Detroit Institute of Arts which enhances community and regional development, promotes cultural
planning, stimulates business development, spurs urban renewal, attracts new businesses, draws significant cultural tourism dollars, and improves the overall quality of life in the tri-county region; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners believes it is essential that the National Endowment for the Arts appropriations be funded ensuring that all Americans have access and
opportunity to engage with the arts. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby

Bowman, District #10 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSING PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP’S PROPOSED
ELIMINATION OF FUNDING PROVIDED TO THE INSTITUTE OF MUSEUM AND LIBRARY SERVICES To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS Oakland County libraries are a vital and essential public resource that provide equal access
to educational and recreational material and enrich the lives of all Oakland County residents; and WHEREAS the President’s proposed 2018 budget outlining major cuts and the complete elimination of
programs supporting library services will have a devastating impact on millions of Americans; and WHEREAS the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) administered by the Institute of Museum and
Library Services (IMLS) provides critically important funding for our nation’s libraries, especially those libraries for the visually and physically impaired; and
WHEREAS the IMLS is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s 123,000 libraries and approximately 35,000 museums of all disciplines, including aquariums, botanic gardens, children’s
museums, history, science and technology centers and zoos; and WHEREAS the IMLS provides vital resources that contribute significantly to Americans’ economic
development, education, health, and well-being whether by facilitating family learning and catalyzing community change or stimulating economic development through job training skills development; and
WHEREAS in 2016, the IMLS received appropriations totaling $230 million, which accounts for almost 0.006 percent of the $4 trillion that the Congressional Budget Office projects that the federal government
will spend in 2017 and 2018; and WHEREAS the IMLS has more than $214 million of their $230 million FY 2016 enacted budget which
targets museums and libraries directly via their grant programs; and WHEREAS total elimination of LSTA funding from the IMLS as proposed in the President’s 2018 budget
would have a catastrophic impact on library services across Michigan; and WHEREAS the loss of federal funds would also create a loss of incentive for state appropriations, as the
federal allocation depends upon a maintenance of effort in state appropriations; and WHEREAS according to the Michigan Department of Education, each year the Library of Michigan
receives approximately $4.3 million of LSTA funds from the IMLS; and WHEREAS the American Library Association (ALA) President Julie Todaro’s statement describes the
range of services the LSTA funds…“The range of services provided to millions of Americans through LSTA grants is matched only by the creativity of the libraries that receive them: veterans transitioning to

coding courses to teach youth 21st century job skills”; and WHEREAS the Rochester Hills Public Library houses such a service for the blind and hearing impaired,
the Oakland Talking Book Service; and
WHEREAS the Oakland Talking Book Service (OTBS) is a free service which loans talking books and
magazines, large print books, Braille and talking book players to eligible Oakland County residents of all ages; and
WHEREAS based upon the State Aid Report from the OTBS, $41,073 of 2016 State funding was awarded to the OTBS for continued services to the visually and physically impaired residents of Oakland
County; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does not support the president’s posturing
through his budget proposals to deliver on his promise to “drain the swamp”, eliminating vital resources to the American people that constitute not even 1% of the budget is the wrong message to send.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners recognize that the public services and programs provided by libraries and staff in Oakland County cannot be sustained
without the funding support of the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby opposes the
elimination of the Institute of Museum and Library Services funding as proposed by President Donald J. Trump’s 2018 America First: A Budget Blueprint to Make America Great Again Budget Proposal.

CUTS TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD) To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 10, 2017
293
Chairperson, Ladies, and Gentlemen: WHEREAS for decades the United States has encouraged development that would make neighborhoods
and cities more economically competitive and more amenable/desirable places to live and work; and WHEREAS the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 created the Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to ensure the continuing efforts and support of community and economic development, assist low-income
residents, and revitalize communities; and WHEREAS federal CDBG funds continue to be proven catalyst resources for local governments to
revitalize deteriorating neighborhoods, promote economic development in communities, support and assist low-to-moderate income residents, and deliver vital human services to vulnerable citizens; and
WHEREAS funding from CDBG supports the Home Investment Partnership Act (HOME) program with $1.2 billion that provides support for building, buying, and/or rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or
homeownership or providing direct rental assistance to low-income people. HOME is the largest Federal block grant to state and local governments designed exclusively to create affordable housing for low-
income households; and WHEREAS Governing Magazine reported in April 2017, that local officials across the nation describe the
CDBG as “the heart, lungs, and backbone of cities and counties” by providing funding for projects to help lower-income residents and the economy; and
WHEREAS in 2016, Oakland County was awarded $5,022,417 in CDBG funds for local community housing and revitalization projects and to help low-and-moderate income residents with home
improvement loans; and WHEREAS according to the Urban Science report “Taking Stock of the Community Development Block
Grant,” HUD reported that between 2005 and 2013, CDBG funds created or retained 330,546 jobs, over 1.1 million people were assisted with homeownership and improvements, nationwide 33 million people
benefited through public improvements, and over 105 million people were provided public services; and WHEREAS despite demonstrated local and nationwide success of the program by providing assistance to
some of America’s impoverished residents, as well as revitalization and economic growth to local communities, the CDBG has dwindled to $3 billion in funding from its initial robust $15 billion; and
WHEREAS the Congressional Research Service reported in 2014 that between 1980 and 2015, communities eligible/entitled to CDBG funds had increased 86% even while funding for the program has
declined 85% during the same time period; and WHEREAS President Trump has proposed the elimination of the CDBG, according to the U.S. Office of
Management and Budget; and WHEREAS the elimination of CDBG program will harm our county’s and local communities’ abilities to
revitalize declining housing and community conditions and remove safety-net services for our low income citizens.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby opposes the inconceivable act of eliminating the CDBG that will harm our county and our local
communities. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners encourages all
organizations, private and public, to take action to protect the federal, state and local funding that provides support for housing, community and economic development, assist low-income residents, and
revitalize our communities. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #17130 BY: Commissioner Dave Woodward, District #19
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSITION TO REPUBLICAN-LED EFFORT TO REPEAL OBAMACARE AND REPLACE IT WITH THE AMERICAN HEALTH CARE ACT (AHCA)
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, was enacted by the 111th United States Congress and signed into law in 2010; and
WHEREAS President Donald Trump is leading efforts to repeal Obamacare with the passage of the Republican-led American Health Care Act (AHCA), that narrowly passed the U.S. House of
Representatives on May 4, 2017; and WHEREAS the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported in their March 2016 baseline projections that
there were approximately 23 million people with health care insurance as a result of the ACA, with 12 million people covered by the exchanges (10 million of whom received subsidies to help pay for
insurance) and 11 million receiving health care through Medicaid expansion; and WHEREAS the Center for Healthcare Research and Transformation analyses of Michigan Health and
Human Services Marketplace Plan Selection Data and Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Green Book Data state the total enrollment of Oakland County residents due to the ACA, as of
August 2015, was equal to 186,251 or 15% of the County’s population; and WHEREAS a full repeal of the ACA would cost the federal government $350 billion over the next decade,
according to a new analysis from the bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget; and WHEREAS based upon the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) an estimated 27% of adult
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 10, 2017
299
Americans under the age of 65 have health conditions that would likely leave them uninsurable if they applied for individual market coverage under pre-ACA underwriting practices that existed in nearly all
states; and WHEREAS a Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that most people (53%) reported that they or someone
in their household has a pre-existing condition, in Michigan the estimated percent of non-elderly people with declinable pre-existing conditions under Pre-ACA practices was 28% or 1,687,000 Michiganders;
and WHEREAS two professors of public health at the City University of New York’s Hunter College, Dr. David
Himmelstein and Dr. Steffie Woolhandler, both lecturers in medicine at Harvard Medical School, citing data from the New England Journal of Medicine, agree that even with conservative estimates repealing
Obamacare will result in 43,956 deaths every year; and WHEREAS based upon George Washington University analysis, a repeal to key parts of the ACA would
lead to major cuts in federal assistance for health care, thereby triggering major losses in employment and serious economic dislocations in all states; and
WHEREAS these consequences could extend well beyond the health care industry, triggering major reductions in employment and substantial losses in state economic activity and reduced state and local
revenues; and WHEREAS medical groups oppose the AHCA including the American Medical Association, the American
Nurses Association, the American Hospital Association, and the American Public Health Association; and WHEREAS patient groups oppose AHCA including the American Cancer Society, the Cancer Action
Network, the American Diabetes Association, the American Heart Association, the American Lung Association, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, JDRF, March of Dimes, the National Organization for Rare
Disorders, the National MS Society; and WHEREAS a majority of Americans oppose the GOP health care bill and this current effort of the AHCA
to repeal Obamacare; and WHEREAS a top Medicaid official came out against the AHCA, when Andrey Ostrovsky, chief medical
officer for the Center for Medicaid and CHIP Services, wrote on Twitter “Despite political messaging from others at HHS, I align with the experts from [American Academy of Family Physicians, the American
Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Medical Association] in opposition to AHCA”; and WHEREAS AARP has outlined how the AHCA is hazardous to the health of Americans, especially older
American in the following ways: 1. Impose an age tax. Insurers could charge older adults five times what younger consumers pay for
health insurance — up from three times what younger people pay, under the current law. At the same time, the bill would reduce tax credits that help older adults afford their coverage. The age
tax could increase annual premiums by $13,000, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Making matters worse, states could receive a federal waiver that would allow insurers to
charge even more than five times what younger people pay. 2. Allow insurers to charge higher premiums to consumers with preexisting conditions, potentially to
levels that people cannot afford. Some 25 million people ages 50 to 64 have a preexisting condition, such as cancer, diabetes or heart disease. They are protected under current law from
paying more for insurance than those without such conditions. 3. Permit states to rely upon high-risk pools with sky-high premiums to cover people with preexisting
conditions. That tab could reach $25,700 a year in 2019, according to AARP’s Public Policy Institute. What’s more, high-risk pools are not a viable solution. When they were used before the
passage of the Affordable Care Act, they put such a financial burden on states that benefits were limited, and enrollment in them was capped.
4. Jeopardize essential health benefits. States could receive waivers allowing insurers to eliminate coverage for critical benefits. Among the benefits states could opt out of: emergency services,
hospitalization, prescription drug coverage, mental health services, chronic disease management and preventive care.
5. Undermine Medicare’s financial health. By reducing Medicare’s revenue, the bill would hasten the program’s insolvency by as much as four years and weakens its ability to pay for future services.
6. Do nothing to address the high cost of prescription drugs. Consumers with chronic illnesses have seen the price of their medications more than double since 2006, and this legislation would do
nothing to help lower costs. At the same time, it would hand a $200 billion windfall in tax breaks to special interests like drug makers and insurance companies.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 10, 2017
300
7. Cut Medicaid funding by $880 billion over 10 years. More than 17 million low-income seniors, children and adults with disabilities rely on Medicaid. Millions of low-income seniors and people of
all ages with disabilities risk losing access to critical long-term services and supports. 8. Leave millions of Americans without health insurance. Under this legislation, as many as
24 million people would lose their health care coverage within a decade, according to the CBO; and
WHEREAS Michigan Governor Rick Snyder said the Republican-led health care plan “will adversely impact” Michigan’s most vulnerable citizens and may lead to significant cost increases for seniors; and
WHEREAS the Ann Arbor-based Center for Healthcare Transformation and Research compared the effects of the Republican-led AHCA and current law and concluded the impact on Michigan would be:
• 100,000 people age 55-64 who selected coverage through Michigan's Health Insurance
Marketplace would face higher costs compared to the tax credits they would receive under AHCA.
• 233,000 people with household incomes below 250 percent of the federal poverty level ($29,700 for an individual in 2016) would face higher costs over time with potentially lower tax credits
and/or when cost-sharing reduction subsidies are repealed in 2020.
• 533,000 people who had individual coverage would be at risk of facing a 30 percent surcharge with a gap in coverage of more than 63 days.
• Among the 649,000 Healthy Michigan Plan members, those with a gap in coverage of more than
30 days would be at risk of losing coverage beginning in 2020.
• 1.8 million traditional Medicaid beneficiaries would be at risk of losing benefits and/or seeing
provider payments cut beginning Oct. 1, 2019, when per capita cost caps would begin to take effect; and
WHEREAS the Republican-led AHCA allows individual states to let insurance companies charge people with pre-existing conditions more for health insurance (which is illegal under Obamacare) if states meet
certain conditions, like setting up high-risk insurance pools, which experts say the legislation grossly underfunds; and
WHEREAS according to the Michigan League for Public Policy, about 2.2 million Michiganders could lose health care coverage under the Republican-proposed replacement for the Affordable Care Act; and
WHEREAS the following from the Center for American Progress, based on congressional districts representing Oakland County, illustrates how many people currently benefiting from Obamacare today,
Nonelderly Medicaid Employer ACA Medicaid Expansion Sponsored Exchanges/ Total projected to lose health District #U.S. Congress member (non-ACA) (Healthy MI) Health Care and other coverage because of AHCA 8 Mike Bishop (R) 10,100 6,000 19,600 2,400 38,200

14 Brenda Lawrence (D) 20,200 16,600 12,800 2,200 51,700 but whose health care coverage is at risk if AHCA becomes law; and
WHEREAS U.S. Congressmen Mike Bishop and Dave Trott voted YES on the AHCA, and Congressman Sander Levin and Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence voted NO; and
WHEREAS without the votes of Oakland County’s Congressmen Mike Bishop and Dave Trott the AHCA would not have passed the U.S. House of Representatives.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes the Republican-led health care plan known as AHCA.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if members of Congress, representing portions of Oakland County seek better health care for Oakland County residents, then the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
urges them to oppose the AHCA and any other health care plan that reduces access to health care, decreases quality of health care, and threatens solvency of health care systems in Oakland County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby affirms its support for expanding access to and improving quality to health for all Oakland County residents.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners respectfully requests the members of the U.S. House of Representatives that represent portions of Oakland County come and
address the board to explain to the citizens of Oakland County the reason for their vote. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward

WHEREAS MR #16103 authorized the Local Road Improvement Subcommittee to establish policies and procedures regarding the limited rollover and accrual of a municipality’s allocation for project plans that
require additional County funding; and WHEREAS the Local Road Improvement Subcommittee has adopted a policy authorizing a municipality
to submit a multi-year plan for projects that require the accrual of the municipality’s allocation for a maximum of three (3) years; and
WHEREAS approval of multiple year plan and accrual of a municipality’s allocation is subject to approval by the Board of Commissioners; and
WHEREAS a project multi-year plan is to be utilized solely for planning purposes and does not obligate Oakland County in any way to funding a project; and
WHEREAS rollover and accrual of a municipality’s allocation is subject to the continuation of the Local Road Improvement Program, which has been established as a pilot program; and
WHEREAS a municipality’s allocation is subject to change from year to year based upon the factors utilized in current distribution formula and amendments to the distribution formula approved by the Board

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSING PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP’S PROPOSED ELIMINATION OF FUNDING PROVIDED TO THE LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the budget proposed by President Trump signals a disturbing and perilous vision for America
that abandons the millions of low- and moderate-income people who are working hard to strengthen their own and their families’ economic security; and
WHEREAS the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) assists eligible low income households with their heating and cooling energy costs, bill payment assistance, energy crisis assistance,
weatherization and energy-related home repairs; and WHEREAS the LIHEAP statute establishes federal eligibility for households with incomes at or below
150% of poverty or 60% of state median income, whichever is higher; and WHEREAS according to 2012 data from the U.S. Census Bureau, 15% of the population have incomes
below the poverty threshold; and WHEREAS without energy assistance, many low-income households would have to choose between
heating and eating or other vital necessities; and WHEREAS extensive academic research has documented the broader impact of energy assistance, from
the “heat or eat” dynamic seen in many lower-income households, to the health effects on children; and WHEREAS since 1981, the LIHEAP has supported millions of families in need of immediate energy
assistance to either heat or cool their residences; and WHEREAS the Fiscal Year 2016 appropriation for the LIHEAP was set at $3.39 billion and per the Office
of Community Services, an estimated 6.9 million American households received assistance with energy costs due to the Block Grants; and
WHEREAS per the Congressional Research Service, 2015 LIHEAP regular fund allotment distributed to the State of Michigan totaled $161.827 million; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners believes it is essential that LIHEAP appropriations be funded at the $3.39 billion authorized level, with the clear recognition that even at this
funding level, a significant majority of eligible households are unable to receive assistance due to lack of funds.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby opposes the elimination of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funding as proposed by
President Donald J. Trump’s 2018 America First: A Budget Blueprint to Make America Great Again Budget Proposal and fully supports the restoration of pre-2010 levels of funding for the Department of
Health and Human Services. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Oakland County Board of Commissioners believes the current budget
proposal by President Donald J. Trump to be ill-conceived, dangerous and reckless in nature, both immediately and in the future.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSITION TO PRESIDENT TRUMP’S ELIMINATION OF THE LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION (LSC) THROUGH FEDERAL BUDGET CUTS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies, and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Legal Services Act of 1974 promotes equal access to justice by providing funding to 133 independent non-profit legal aid programs across America for low-income Americans who cannot afford
legal representation; and WHEREAS the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) reinforces that access to justice is a fundamental
American value that is reflected in the first line of our Constitution and in the closing words of our Pledge of Allegiance; and
WHEREAS Texas Chief Justice Nathan Hecht states, “Justice for only those who can afford it is neither justice for all nor justice at all”; and
WHEREAS children, families, the elderly, veterans, and the disabled are amongst those Americans, some with incomes at or below 125% of the federal poverty guidelines, who are the recipients served by the
LSC grantees; and WHEREAS low-income Americans continue the daily struggle to keep their jobs, remain in their homes,
and provide the basic essentials for their families; and WHEREAS the LCS assures fairness in the justice system and grantees provide the civil legal aid to help
individuals protect their livelihoods, their health and their families; and WHEREAS in 2014, approximately 1.9 million Americans turned to one of the 813 offices across the
nation that provide civil legal aid through the LSC’s grant programs; and WHEREAS despite LSC’s efforts, studies indicate 50% of those in need of civil legal aid are turned away
due to lack of resources; and WHEREAS in February 2017, it was reported that the LSC’s has an annual budget of $375 million to
provide civil-legal aid for cases involving disability benefits, elder abuse, unlawful eviction, wheelchair access, child support, disaster relief, school lunch, predatory lending and many other cases; and
WHEREAS with the proposed budget cuts by President Trump, millions of poor and low-income Americans could be striped of the much needed protections from victims of domestic violence, people
with disabilities, families facing foreclosures and the veterans in need – all Americans deserve justice equality; and
WHEREAS the annual budget of the LSC is just one ten-thousandth of the total federal budget; and WHEREAS the American Bar Association indicates that the LSC provides civil legal aid to people who
desperately need help, and without their assistance, millions of Americans will have court house doors slammed in the faces and denied equal access to justice; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 10, 2017

WHEREAS the elimination of the LSC will have an irreparable effect on residents in our local communities and to citizens across the nation by denying fair and equal access to justice.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes President Trump’s unjustifiable elimination of the LSC and fully endorses the continuation of funding to
protect and ensure all American citizens’ rights to fair and equal justice. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward
copies of this adopted resolution to the President of the United States, the United States Congress, the Speaker of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the
