death; and WHEREAS in Michigan, the number of hospitalizations involving opioids increased 120 percent between
2000 and 2011 – from 9,157 to 20,191 hospitalizations, according to the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH); and
WHEREAS despite this epidemic, there is a small group of individuals for whom opioids are medically necessary after all other treatments fail and who do not exhibit signs of abuse; and
WHEREAS Michigan House Bill 4601 and Senate Bill 0274 have been introduced in the Michigan Legislature, which would amend Public Act 368 of 1978 entitled the “Public Health Code,” regarding the
prescription of opioids and represent efforts by the legislature to address the opioid overdose epidemic; and
WHEREAS SB 0274 and HB 4601 take significantly different approaches to addressing the opioid overdose epidemic; and
WHEREAS SB 0274, as amended, contains reasonable safeguards addressing opioid abuse by, among other things, increasing restrictions placed on pharmacists when partially filling prescriptions and limiting
prescriptions to no more than a 7-day supply at a time for acute pain patients; and WHEREAS HB 4601, unlike SB 0274, contains absolute limits on dosage amounts doctors may prescribe
for certain “pain” classifications regardless of a patient’s medical history, condition, or absence of evidence of addiction; and
WHEREAS HB 4601 infringes on a doctor’s ability to care for patients by substituting the legislature’s opinion for the opinion of individual medical professionals; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Senate has passed SB 0274; and WHEREAS HB 4601 remains pending in the Michigan House of Representatives; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners previously adopted Resolution #16046, which supported measures to end opioid addiction and also stated that “public policy must be targeted at ending
the abuse of prescription drugs while protecting the rights of patients for whom these prescriptions are medically necessary”; and
WHEREAS opioid addiction is a traumatic problem in our state and country that must be addressed, however, Oakland County urges our State Legislators to take a balanced approach that specifically
targets addiction and abuse while protecting the rights of those who legitimately need these treatments. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
offer their support of SB 0274 as passed by the Michigan Senate. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby oppose HB
4601 on the grounds that it includes absolute limits on dosage amounts for prescribers. 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 Lt. Governor of the State of Michigan, the Michigan Prescription Drug and Opioid Abuse Task Force, the Oakland County members of
the Michigan congressional delegation, the members of the Michigan House Health Policy Committee, and the members of the Michigan Senate Health Policy Committee.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #17231 BY: Commissioners Dave Woodward, District #19; Marcia Gershenson, District #13 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FUNDING FOR THE OAKLAND COUNTY COOPERATIVE LAKES MONITORING PROGRAM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Michigan’s unique geographical location provides its citizens with a wealth of freshwater resources including over 11,000 inland lakes; and
WHEREAS Oakland County is home to more than 350 inland lakes; and WHEREAS in addition to being valuable ecological resources, lakes provide aesthetic and recreational
value for the people of Michigan and Oakland County; and WHEREAS the quality and safety of our lakes is essential for a strong economy; and
WHEREAS as more and more people use the lakes and surrounding watersheds, the potential for environmental problems and use impairment increases dramatically; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) implemented the Cooperative Lakes Monitoring Program (CLMP) as an important component of Michigan’s inland lakes monitoring
program over 35 years ago; and WHEREAS the primary purpose of the CLMP is to help citizen volunteers monitor indicators of water
quality in their lakes and document changes to lake quality over time; and WHEREAS the CLMP program has been operating since 1974 and is the second oldest lake monitoring
program in the United States; and WHEREAS the goals of the program include:
1. Provide baseline information and document trends in water quality for individual lakes, 2. Educate Lake residents, users, and interested citizens in the collection of water quality data, lake
ecology, and lake management practices, 3. Build a constituency of citizens to practice sound lake management at the local level and build
public support for lake quality protection, 4. Provide a cost-effective process for the MDEQ to increase baseline data for lakes state-wide; and
WHEREAS volunteers who monitor a lake through the CLMP are taught biology and ecology, the time spent monitoring the lake brings about an extra level of concern for the water body. Volunteers often
become champions for clean water and go on to take leadership roles in their communities; and WHEREAS the CLMP continues as a foundation program under the Michigan Clean Water Corp
(MiCorps) with long standing partnerships in the program from the following groups: Michigan Lakes and Streams Association (MLSA), the Great Lakes Commission, the Huron River Watershed Council, and
Michigan State University; and WHEREAS the mission of MiCorps is to network and expand volunteer water quality monitoring
organizations statewide for the purpose of collecting, sharing, and using reliable data; educate and inform the public about water quality issues; and foster water resources stewardship to facilitate the preservation
and protection of Michigan's water resources; and WHEREAS the purpose of the Oakland County CLMP monitoring project is to provide lake communities
with a strategy for monitoring overall lake quality in addition to any impact from non-native invasive species; and
WHEREAS monitoring overall lake quality is extremely important because if undetected, invasive species can spread rapidly across a lake, greatly damaging (often irreparably) a lake’s ecology, fish and
populations, and property values; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners believes an investment in the health of our
lakes and watersheds can have long-term positive implications for the county, region and state. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners calls for the
development of a partnership with MiCorps to do the following:
• Support the recruitment and training of volunteers to do Oakland County lake testing and
monitoring.
• Expand MiCorp activities in Oakland County.
• Cover costs for volunteer trainings and materials.
• Provide an annual report to the Board of Commissioners about the number of volunteers
recruited and trained, and the results of annual testing.
