To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the video casting of meetings of the Board of Commissioners via web streaming services and local community cable producers serves the purpose of informing the public and improving governmental

WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners currently contracts with Soundque to provide webcasting video service to the County; and
WHEREAS the contract for webcasting services was extended for one year in 2013 and for three years in 2014, which is set to expire July 31, 2017; and
WHEREAS on February 15, 2017, Chairman Gingell appointed a Technology Review Study Group consisting of three members of the Board, which reviewed the potential options for video casting in the
future; and WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners has determined that it would be more cost efficient and provide
a greater service capability to bring this service in-house; and WHEREAS the benefits of the change will include: long term cost savings, consistency in the quality of
broadcasts, decreased disruptions during Board business, improved accessibility within the spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) through live web streaming of meetings with closed captioning for
the hearing impaired, and immediate accessibility of meetings for cooperative broadcasting partnerships with local cable television providers; and
WHEREAS webcasting systems project will result in approximately $40,000 in planned cost avoidance in security upgrades that would have been necessary to install a patch bay and truck pad for the vendor’s
truck to access the south parking lot; and WHEREAS Oakland County Facilities Management already has a contracted vendor to provide the
Audio/Visual equipment and software; and WHEREAS the members of Technology Review Study Group have recommended that the Board of
Commissioners purchase and install a video camera and production system supplied by Midwest Visual Works; and

WHEREAS with the elimination of the webcasting vendor, the Board of Commissioners will need a staff member to operate the touch screen camera software, edit and upload videos, and ensure the content is
fully ADA compliant; and WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners has a number of tasks that would be more appropriately handled
by a College Intern such as numerous cyclical special events, special recognition and proclamation requests; and

WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners is recommending the creation of one (1) General Fund/General Purpose (GF/GP) Part-Time Non-Eligible 1,000 hours per year College Intern position; and

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #17178 BY: General Government Committee, Christine Long, Chairperson
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT HB 4651 AND SB 400 – AMEND PUBLIC ACT 32 OF 1986, EMERGENCY TELEPHONE SERVICE ENABLING ACT
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 15, 2017
438
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Michigan House Bill 4651 and Senate Bill 400 have been introduced in the Michigan Legislature, which would amend Public Act 32 of 1986 entitled the “Emergency Telephone Service
Enabling Act”; and WHEREAS these bills would amend the funding system for 9-1-1 so that all communication devices that
have access to 9-1-1, including prepaid wireless devices, contribute equally to the funding of 9-1-1 operations; and
WHEREAS these bills provide a stable funding source for the counties to support their migration to Next Generation 9-1-1 and ongoing operational levels of service for 9-1-1 to its residents; and
WHEREAS these bills afford the State and Counties collecting 9-1-1 fees a mechanism for court action should any service providers fail to collect and remit the fees; and
WHEREAS these bills have a mechanism that provides the necessary checks and balances to ensure revenues generated are used for authorized expenditures for 9-1-1 services; and
WHEREAS these authorized expenditures are limited to those directly related to receiving and processing 9-1-1 calls and the subsequent dispatching of responders via a public safety radio; and
WHEREAS such limitation of expenditures has historically met the criteria established through the courts to define 9-1-1 surcharge as a fee for service directly related to telephone services; and
WHEREAS any attempt to amend HB4651 and SB400 for other State of Michigan general fund purposes not directly related to 9-1-1 may not meet the criteria of a fee for service and could be viewed as a tax
increase for the residents of Oakland County. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
offer our support of HB4651 and SB400 as introduced. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes amending
HB4651 and SB400 to include any additional State of Michigan taxes on telephone service customers under the guise of 9-1-1 surcharge.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be transmitted to Governor Richard Snyder, and all Senators and Representatives serving Oakland County.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing Resolution.

Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 15, 2017
446
WHEREAS beginning with the adoption of MR #16103 in 2016, Oakland County has voluntarily provided limited funding assistance to its cities and villages for road maintenance, improvements and safety
projects on non-county roads; and WHEREAS through participation in this Local Road Improvement Matching Fund Program, Oakland
County has ensured that these investments are multiplied by requiring that the Oakland County appropriation for each project is matched by the participating municipality at a minimum of 50% of the
cost of the total project award; and WHEREAS since inception, the Local Road Improvement Matching Fund Program has proven to be an
effective means to encourage improvements to the transportation infrastructure and successful economic development tool for those cities and villages in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS chronic underfunding of road repairs by the State of Michigan has resulted in poor conditions on many roadways throughout Oakland County and the region; and
WHEREAS a quality transportation system is critical to economic development and the overall quality of life for Oakland County residents; and
WHEREAS over the last two years, Oakland County’s investment in its cities and villages have leveraged an estimated $20 million dollars toward funding targeted road maintenance/improvement projects

committed to increase assistance to local communities by 100% ($2,000,000) in the Local Road Improvement Matching Fund Program.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #17184
BY: Commissioners Marcia Gershenson, District #13 and Helaine Zack, District #18 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT TO SHUT DOWN THE ENBRIDGE LINE 5
PIPELINE UNDER THE STRAITS OF MACKINAC To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies, and Gentlemen: WHEREAS Line 5 is a set of twin, 64-year-old pipelines owned by Enbridge that carry light crude oil and
natural gas under the Straits of Mackinac; and WHEREAS the currents in the Straits of Mackinac at peak volumetric transport can be more than 10 times
greater than the flow of Niagara Falls and switch bi-directionally from east to west every few days, and according to a 2014 University of Michigan study are the “worst possible place” for an oil spill in the Great
Lakes; and WHEREAS the Great Lakes contain 20 percent of the world’s fresh, available, surface water and are a
drinking water source for over 35 million people; and WHEREAS one out of every five jobs in Michigan is linked to the high quality and quantity of fresh water
in the Great Lakes; and WHEREAS tourism is one of Michigan’s largest income industries bringing in billions of visitor dollars
spent each year; and WHEREAS agriculture, fisheries, shipping and industry depend on the health of the Great Lakes; and
WHEREAS in 2009 the Great Lakes were linked to over 1.5 million jobs, with Michigan accounting for 35 percent of those jobs; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 15, 2017
448
WHEREAS Enbridge has a concerning track record that includes 1,244 reportable spills, leaks and releases from 1996 to 2013; and
WHEREAS Enbridge was in violation of spacing requirements of its 1953 easement for Line 5 in 2014 and were responsible for a pinhole leak in a section of the pipeline north of the Straits in December 2014;
and WHEREAS Enbridge was responsible for one of the worst and most expensive oils spills in U.S. history
when Line 6b ruptured near Kalamazoo in 2010 allowing almost 1 million gallons of tar sands oil to leak for 17 hours before shutting down the line; and
WHEREAS corrosion is the number one reason that pipelines fail; and WHEREAS Line 5 was built before the Great Lakes Submerged Lands Act was adopted so it didn’t have
to obtain a permit and ensure that the pipeline would not pose a threat to the waters or the public’s use of the waters; and
WHEREAS Michigan’s Attorney General has stated (in regards to Line 5) that the “pipeline wouldn’t be built today” and that “the pipeline’s days are numbered”; and
WHEREAS the Coast Guard Commandant testified before Congress in 2015 that the Coast Guard would be unable to respond effectively to an open water oil spill in the heart of the Great Lakes; and
WHEREAS there is no plan for how to recover oil if there was a leak during the winter when the lakes are covered with ice; and
WHEREAS as Michiganders we have a responsibility to be wise stewards of the waters of our state for generations to come; and
WHEREAS protection of Michigan’s water supplies and resources is better accomplished by prevention of contamination and environmental degradation, rather than attempting to clean up contamination and
restore degraded environments after the fact. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports
stopping the transportation of oil under the Great Lakes which is essential to preserve and protect Michigan’s Great Lakes and its abundant natural resources and wholesome environment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports shutting down Enbridge’s Line 5 and the flow of oil under the Great Lakes.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports state legislation calling on Governor Rick Snyder and Attorney General Bill Schuette to shut down the Enbridge
Line 5. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward
copies of this adopted resolution to the Governor of the State of Michigan, the State Senate Majority and Minority Leaders, the State House Speaker and Minority Leader, the Oakland County delegation to the

Bowman, District #10 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSING THE ELIMINATION OF STATE AND LOCAL
TAX DEDUCTION IN PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP’S PROPOSED REFORMED TAX PLAN To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS President Trump has released his 2017 Tax Reform for Economic Growth and American Jobs
plan, titled “The Biggest Individual and Business Tax Cut in American History”, which includes the elimination of the 104-year-old income tax deduction for state and local taxes; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 15, 2017
449
WHEREAS the President’s plan to eliminate this long standing deduction signals a disturbing attack by the federal government on local governments and the vital services they provide; and
WHEREAS if enacted, the President’s plan would result in significant pressure on state and local government revenue sources, resulting in devastating cutbacks in essential services; and
WHEREAS according to the Urban Institute and Brookings Institution eliminating the deduction would increase taxes for about 24 percent of taxpayers nationwide, with the percentage much greater in some
states; and WHEREAS the federal tax subsidy provided to state and local governments through the State and Local
Tax (SALT) deduction is a significant form of federal financial assistance to state and local governments, this typically occurs through grants, loans, and loan guarantees in addition to tax subsidies; and
WHEREAS according to the Office of Management and Budget, federal assistance, in the form of grants, to state and local governments were an estimated $628 billion in 2015; and
WHEREAS according to the Tax Policy Center, federal tax subsidies through the SALT deduction and the federal tax exemption for state and local bond interest provided an additional $135 billion in implicit
federal support for state and local governments; and WHEREAS New York Governor Andrew Cuomo described the plan as “It is not an economic policy, it is
political vindictiveness”; and WHEREAS the following organizations have denounced the measure, the National Association of
Counties, the U.S. Conference of Mayors and the National Conference of State Legislatures, through their joint statement “We fundamentally believe that Americans’ income, property and purchases should
not be taxed twice,”; and WHEREAS according to assistant professor of public policy at Rutgers University, Michael Hayes, if a tax
change of this magnitude were to go into effect, voters would be likely to press even harder for property tax cuts; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners stands in opposition to the elimination of the state and local tax deduction and believes the deduction is an essential federal financial assistance tool to
providing the necessary services for the citizens of Oakland County. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
opposes the elimination of the State and Local Tax deduction as indirectly proposed by President Donald J. Trump’s 2017 Tax Reform for Economic Growth and American Jobs plan and fully supports the
continuation of the deduction to sustain the essential services in communities across the country. 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 President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the members of the Michigan
congressional delegation, the Secretary of the Department of the Treasury, the Governor of the State of Michigan, the State Senate Majority and Minority leaders, the State House Speaker and Minority leader,

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 15, 2017
450
WHEREAS Michigan residents who have a developmental disability, mental illness, substance use disorder, or children with serious emotional disturbance, receive specialty public mental health services
delivered by Community Mental Health Services Programs (CMHSP); and WHEREAS CMHSPs are public entities created by county governments to provide a comprehensive
array of mental health services to meet the needs of people regardless of their ability to pay; and WHEREAS specialty services and supports are primarily funded through Michigan’s ten Prepaid Inpatient
Health Plans (PIHP) under contract with the state Medicaid agency; and WHEREAS PIHPs directly manage Substance Use Block Grant funding and local substance use funding,
and each PIHP contracts with CMHSPs and other providers within its region to deliver publicly-funded services and supports; and
WHEREAS Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN) is one of Michigan’s ten Prepaid Inpatient Health Plans (PIHP), as well as a CMHSP; and
WHEREAS OCHN identifies, influences, delivers services and supports to approximately 25,000 Oakland County residents, as well as nearly 60,000 people who contact the 24-hour helpline annually for
assistance; and WHEREAS services that are unique to the public mental health system and not offered by private
Medicaid Health Plans (MHP) include case management, community living supports, criminal justice/jail diversion, employment, housing, peer mentor/supports and respite; and
WHEREAS the MDHHS launched the Section 298 Initiative, based upon Section 298 of Public Act 268 of 2016, a statewide effort to improve coordination of physical health and behavioral health services in
Michigan; and WHEREAS the MDHHS established the Behavioral Health Section 298 workgroup in response to
Michigan Legislature’s request for recommendations, “regarding the most effective financing model and policies for behavioral health services in order to improve the coordination of behavioral and physical
health services for individuals with mental illnesses, intellectual and developmental disabilities and substance use Disorders”; and
WHEREAS the final report, delivered to Michigan legislators on March 15, 2017, recommended the state should retain system structures for Medicaid funding with separate funding for and management of
physical health flowing through the MHP system and separate funding that flows through the public PIHP/CMHSP system; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Legislature’s 2018 budget recommendation would begin the process of ending OCHN’s status as one of Michigan’s 10 PIHPs and Section 234 in Senate Bill 135 would put MHPs in
control of all publicly-funded mental health-related services and supports by 2020; and WHEREAS Section 234 ignores the recommendation of the Section 298 workgroup, does not lower
costs, does not provide better care nor improve health outcomes for vulnerable populations; and it does not provide details regarding purpose of integration; and
WHEREAS Section 234 removes OCHN’s role of contracting with local mental health and substance use providers and would leave OCHN as a designated provider with general funds for the priority populations;
and WHEREAS without administrative oversight of the Medicaid funds; OCHN’s role will be decreased.
OCHN’s ability to be more cost effective and having greater quality outcomes than HMOs will be lost; and WHEREAS according to MDHHS, the average number of mental health visits authorized for qualifying
MHP enrollees in 2014 was only four; and in 2015, only 10 percent of all contacts for Medicaid recipients seeking behavioral health services were with a behavioral health professional; and
WHEREAS MHPs reported administrative costs of 15%. In comparison, OCHN reported administrative expenses of only 4.82% for community mental health staff and 1.47% for delegated functions.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners is opposed to the privatization of public dollars and supports maintaining public oversight of mental health services, and
does not support abandoning its constitutional obligation or relinquishing its moral charge to assist in supporting the dreams and aspirations of the most vulnerable persons to the private/for-profit health
plans. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners encourages the Michigan
House and Senate to appropriate funding which includes a policy that protects and promotes the public oversight and public delivery of Community Mental Health services that currently exists.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – AUDIT OF COLLECTION AND REMITTANCE OF EMERGENCY 911 FEES BY COMMUNICATION SERVICE PROVIDERS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS an effective and reliable 911 system is critical to protect the health and safety of every person in Oakland County and the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS the expansion of wireless communication usage has increased the need for enhanced 911 technology that allows 911 dispatchers to receive detailed information about the specific physical location
of a caller in an emergency; and WHEREAS 911 fees provide for the installation, operation, modification, and maintenance of universal
emergency 9-1-1 service systems throughout Michigan; and WHEREAS all communication service suppliers that provide a communication service to a service user in
the State of Michigan must bill and collect state and county 911 charges; and WHEREAS communication services, as defined by law, include any service capable of accessing,
connecting with, or interfacing with a 911 system - including a local telephone device, cellular telephone device, wireless communication device, interconnected voice over the internet device; and
WHEREAS wireless telecommunication services are required by law to collect state and county 911 charges for each transaction; and
WHEREAS a February 2012 report issued by the Auditor General of Michigan “determined that approximately $4.7 million and $7.3 million of emergency 9-1-1 service charge revenue may not have
been remitted by service suppliers for fiscal years 2008-09 and 2009-10, respectively”; and WHEREAS the 2012 Auditor General report also found “the Department of Treasury's emergency 9-1-1
Database indicated that only 181 (72%) service suppliers were actually remitting service charge revenue”; and
WHEREAS state regulators lack the authority to audit service providers to ensure fees are being collected and remitted properly; and
WHEREAS the Auditor General has recommended that the Michigan State Police and Department of Treasury “should pursue amendatory legislation and other measures necessary to ensure that all service
suppliers collect and remit all emergency 9-1-1 service charge revenue”; and WHEREAS according to statistics provided by the FCC, the number of wireless subscriptions in Michigan
is now in excess of 10.1 million and 2.8 landlines are still in use; and WHEREAS while the net number of connections have increased, state and county 911 fee revenues have
not kept pace; and WHEREAS the lack of sufficient oversight of the collection of 911 fees by communication service
providers constitutes a failure to ensure these funds are being properly collected and remitted. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners calls upon the
Michigan Legislature to adopt legislation granting authority to state regulators to investigate and audit the collection and distribution of 911 fees by communication service providers.

WHEREAS the selection of historic Selfridge Air National Guard Base (ANGB) as one of the newest bases for the state-of-the-art F-35 Lightning II, a fifth generation fighter aircraft, is beneficial for the
Southeast Michigan region, the entire state and the nation; and WHEREAS the Michigan Air National Guard’s 127th Wing is the host unit at Selfridge ANGB and is a
complete global reaching warfighting package highly demanded by combatant commanders and the wing’s A-10s, KC-135s and support personnel stand ready to answer any mission call; and
WHEREAS Selfridge ANGB, with its history of flying fighter aircraft and a supporting community that dates back 100 years, is one of the nation’s busiest, most diverse and most advanced military
installations as it is a Joint Military Community whose major tenants include the Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, Coast Guard and Customs and Border Protection; and
WHEREAS the State of Michigan hosts some of the best training airspace and ranges in the Eastern United States with the Alpena Training Center and Grayling Range training complexes covering a vast
expanse of Northern Michigan and their electronic warfare ability and low density flight areas are unmatched; all U.S. military services – as well as international partners – leverage these capabilities for
training; and WHEREAS the enduring fighter mission at Selfridge ANGB provides the continued utilization and training
capacity that is the cornerstone of the tremendous joint training capability; and WHEREAS the F-35 cooperative engagement capability and sensor fusion technology leverage the cyber
and remotely piloted aircraft capabilities of the 100th Attack Wing in Battle Creek to seamlessly integrate readiness, placing both Michigan Air National Guard Wings in the forefront of our nation’s defense; and
WHEREAS compared to the other locations being considered, the area Selfridge ANGB is located in has nearly six times the number of defense sector jobs than the others combined; meets 73 percent of its
defense sector demand locally, compared with 20 percent; has the necessary trained talent versus a labor shortage and fulfills 33 percent or more defense contracts, at $2 billion annually; and
WHEREAS stationing the F-35 fighter aircraft at Selfridge ensures critical Michigan defense infrastructure and economic viability for the entire region for decades to come; and
WHEREAS Selfridge ANGB is strategically located near five international, land-border crossings, includes marine access to the Official Aerial Port of Embarkation Center for global trade and commerce, provides
efficient flight times to major metropolitan areas and access to regional airport hubs interstates; and WHEREAS the F-35 basing decision has economic, infrastructure and future capability implications for all
of Michigan and it is in the best interest of the state as well as the nation, both operationally and fiscally, for Selfridge ANGB to be selected as the home of the F-35 Lightning II fighter aircraft.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #17189
BY: Commissioner Michael Gingell, District #1 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – DISSOLUTION OF THE OAKLAND COUNTY FRIEND OF
THE COURT CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the Oakland County Friend of the Court Citizens Advisory Committee was created by the
Board of Commissioners on November 21, 2001; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Friend of the Court Citizens Advisory Committee is currently only one of
three such committees operating in the state; and WHEREAS the purpose of the Oakland County Friend of the Court Citizens Advisory Committee is to
advise the Chief Circuit Court Judge and the Board of Commissioners regarding the Friend of the Court's duties and performance and to review certain grievances limited to office operations and gender bias. The
Committee does not have any power or authority over local Friend of the Court operations or recommendations to the court or court decisions and the Committee cannot intervene in individual cases;
and WHEREAS this limited function is confusing to court litigants who often seek the assistance of the
committee in challenging a court decision; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 15, 2017
454
WHEREAS because so few FOC Citizen Advisory Committees exist, the State Court Administrative Office forms committee removed all references to Citizens Advisory Committees from its grievance form in
March 2014 to avoid confusion for child support customers who use that form; and WHEREAS this change to a statewide form has increased confusion to the litigants in the three counties
where a citizens advisory committee still exists; and WHEREAS members of the public who seek assistance with their Friend of the Court case have many
other options and, for example, can file a grievance directly with the Friend of the Court director who is required to respond within 30 days; and
WHEREAS members of the public who are dissatisfied with the Friend of the Court director’s response may file a further grievance with the Chief Judge of the Circuit Court pursuant to MCL 552.526; and
WHEREAS the Friend of the Court is required to report all grievances to the State Court Administrative Office and send copies for review by that office every year; and
WHEREAS the Chief Judge of the Circuit Court is responsible for the supervision of the Friend of the Court and, in addition to responding to grievances, also conducts an annual public performance review of
the Friend of the Court Director pursuant to MCL 552.524; and WHEREAS notice of this statutory review is published in the Oakland Press and the Legal News yearly
seeking input before the review of the Friend of the Court Director is conducted by the Chief Judge; and WHEREAS members of the public may also seek a resolution of their domestic relations dispute through
the court system as the Friend of the Court merely makes non-binding recommendations to the Circuit Court; and
WHEREAS the current members of the Oakland County Friend of the Court Advisory Citizens Advisory Committee have indicated their support for the dissolution of the Committee in consultation with Board of
Commissioners staff. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
dissolves the Oakland County Friend of the Court Citizens Advisory Committee. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners requests that any final reports and
business of the Oakland County Friend of the Court Advisory Committee be filed with State Court Administrative Office by the end of 2017.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners requests that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the State Court Administrative Office.
