District #1; Wade Fleming, District #16; Marcia Gershenson, District #13 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY CONCERNS
INVOLVING THE GREAT LAKES WATER AUTHORITY’S RECENT CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENTS To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS class action settlements agreed to by Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) Administration
officers and staff involving the conduct of retail operations of the Detroit Water and Sewer Department prior to the formation of the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) and later involving the operation of the
Detroit Water and Sewer Department Retail (DWSD-R) subsequent to the formation of GLWA have been revealed to the members of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Finance Committee via the
attached memorandum entitled, “Class Action Settlements by Great Lakes Water Authority” dated February 5, 2018; and
WHEREAS several of the current GLWA Administration officers and staff who agreed to said settlements without advance notice to the GLWA Board are the same individuals who, acting as Detroit Water and
Sewer Department (DWSD) Administration and staff acting prior to the activation of the GLWA were responsible for the challenged conduct underlying the legal complaints that gave rise to the liability
supporting the settlement of $29.5 million between the Michigan Warehousing Group, LLC v DWSD; and WHEREAS the GLWA Administration, without the knowledge, notice or approval of the GLWA Board of
Directors, negotiated a settlement with DWSD-R to fund half of the above settlement relating to the DWSD retail operations in the amount of $14.75 million charging GLWA ‘common-to-all’ assets; and
WHEREAS the agreement between the GLWA Administration and DWSD-R became known to the Oakland County GLWA Board member through a news article forwarded to the Oakland County
Executive who in turn inquired of his representative on the GLWA Board as to the nature of the settlement; and
WHEREAS the resulting GLWA Board member’s inquiries uncovered the then three-month old settlement details as cited in the attached memorandum, which settlement was withheld by the GLWA Administration
from the full GLWA Board of Directors; and WHEREAS as subsequent facts and circumstances involving the Michigan Warehousing Group, LLC
litigation became known, a second, similar litigation matter entitled United House of Prayer v. DWSD was discovered as having been settled and paid without GLWA Board approval in calendar year 2016; and
WHEREAS the United House of Prayer litigation was settled by the DWSD-R for $5.0 million, paid by DWSD-R, and substantially funded at the recommendation of GLWA Administration using $4.0 million of
GLWA ‘common-to-all’ assets; and WHEREAS the GLWA lease agreements define “common-to-all” in Section 1.1 (m) as: “common-to-all
means the method or methods for allocating to Retail Customers and wholesale customers of the Regional Water System and Regional Sewer System the cost of Water Services and Sewer Services
provided by the Regional Systems that benefits BOTH wholesale AND Retail Customers, which allocation is determined on a case-by-case analysis of the benefits derived by each customer
class from such service.” (Emphasis added); and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 8, 2018
150
WHEREAS while facts are clear as to the benefits derived by the DWSD-R system arising from the improper DWSD billings and related collections and while it is clear that those proceeds were used to
fund both DWSD and DWSD-R operations, it is equally clear that no such benefits inured to the suburban wholesale water and sewer customers making it evident that common to all charges are not appropriate
here; and WHEREAS the failure to identify or secure benefits to the suburban wholesale customers as defined in
the lease agreement means that the entire settlement funding should be provided by and charged to the DWSD-R; and
WHEREAS under the State Bar of Michigan’s Rules of Professional Conduct the General Counsel of GLWA and the attorney Chief Operating Officer had specific duties and responsibilities to notice and
involve the GLWA Board (the ‘client’) under Section 1.4(a) which states “A lawyer shall keep a client reasonably informed about the status of a matter and comply with reasonable requests for information.
The lawyer is also required to notify the client promptly of all settlement offers…..”; and WHEREAS both the General Counsel and Chief Operating Officer of GLWA failed in their professional
duties and responsibilities to keep the full GLWA Board of Directors informed of settlement offers, settlements and agreements related to the Michigan Warehousing Group, LLC and United House of
Prayer matters; and WHEREAS the then GLWA Chairman of the Board of Directors requested a legal opinion from an outside
law firm that had been involved in the negotiations of the lease and other related agreements establishing the GLWA with respect to the funding responsibilities related to the two settlements of $29.5 million for
the Michigan Warehousing Group, LLC and $5.0 million for the United House of Prayer (with GLWA funding $14.75 million and $4.0 million, respectively); and
WHEREAS the law firm submitted that legal opinion to the GLWA General Counsel; and WHEREAS the Oakland County GLWA Board representative and other Board members requested
access to that legal opinion, but were denied access to that record by the GLWA Administration; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Board representative issued a Freedom of Information Act request of the
General Counsel to secure access to that legal opinion but such access was formally denied again by the GLWA General Counsel; and
WHEREAS Article 9, Section 23 of the Michigan Constitution of 1963 provides that all financial records, accountings, audit report and other reports of public moneys shall be public records and open to
inspection; and WHEREAS GLWA is a public entity and its moneys are public moneys that must be transparently
accounted for under the Michigan Constitution; and WHEREAS the improper payment of the two settlements from ‘common-to-all’ GLWA assets in the
combined amount of $18.75 million impermissibly injure the suburban GLWA wholesale customers; and WHEREAS an agreement entitled “One Water Partnership” between the GLWA member community
customers and GLWA calls upon the commitment of both parties to ‘continuing, strengthening and improving a long-term partnership based on the critical success factors of mutual trust, collaboration,
respect and open and honest communication for the benefit of the public and all signatories to this commitment.’; and
WHEREAS the One Water Partnership agreement mandates and compels the GLWA Administration and Board to fully disclose to all GLWA Board members and GLWA customers all records and documents
relating to the disputed settlement actions undertaken by GLWA staff. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners expresses its
deep concerns involving the lack of ‘open and honest communication’ by the GLWA Administration to its Board of Directors, its member communities and its water and sewer ratepayers.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners objects to the improper use of GLWA ‘common-to-all’ assets to fund the Michigan Warehousing Group, LLC and United House of
Prayer to cover the improper actions of DWSD in the billing methods and practices. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners assert that any and all
amounts paid by GLWA to fund these two litigation settlements must be properly accounted for and charged to the DWSD-R in conformity with the GLWA lease agreements.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Oakland County Board of Commissioners resolution and related attachment be submitted to each legislative body and elected executive within Oakland County that relies
on the water and sewer services of GLWA.

every major progressive social change movement; and WHEREAS women have been leaders in critical roles and at crucial points of history to create a fair and

of history would provide inspiration, hope and drive to new generations of women leaders; and WHEREAS in 1980, President Jimmy Carter designated March 2 – 8 as National Women’s History Week,
stating, in part, “From the first settlers who came to our shores, from the first American Indian families who befriended them, men and women have worked together to build this nation. Too often the women
were unsung and sometimes their contributions went unnoticed. But the achievements, leadership, courage, strength and love of the women who built America was as vital as that of the men whose names
we know so well”; and WHEREAS in 1987, Congress passed a resolution and President Ronald Reagan issued a proclamation
designating the entire month of March as Women’s History Month, honoring the achievements of American women; and
WHEREAS in 1987, the Michigan Women's Historical Center and Hall of Fame was dedicated and opened to the public, displaying cultural and historical exhibits on the accomplishments of Michigan

WHEREAS in 2012, the United States Census Bureau identified Oakland County as having 47,453 women-owned businesses, and in July of 2016, the number of females made up 51.2% of the county

BY: Commissioners Tom Middleton, District #4; Helaine Zack, District #18; IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT SENATE BILLS 469 – RESTORATION OF THE
HISTORIC PRESERVATION TAX CREDIT PROGRAM To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS for more than 40 years, Public Act 169 of 1970, Michigan’s Local Historic District Act, has
declared historic preservation a public purpose to safeguard a community’s heritage, strengthen local economies, stabilize and improve property values, foster civic beauty and promote history; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Historical Commission dedicates its historical preservation efforts to these shared values enabled through PA 169 of 1970, as amended in 1992; and
WHEREAS PA 38, 39, and 40 of 2011 amended the Income Tax Act, the Michigan Business Tax Act, and the Multistate Tax Compact, respectively, to eliminate a number of credits, deductions, and exemptions;
and WHEREAS the State Historic Preservation Tax Credit was one of the credits that was eliminated when
those Public Acts took effect; and WHEREAS the credit provided a financial incentive for taxpayers to invest in Michigan’s historic resources
and sites; and WHEREAS historic restoration projects, which were assisted by the State Historic Preservation Tax
Credit, generate positive economic growth in municipalities across the State and Oakland County; and WHEREAS the elimination of the credit has discouraged developers from renovating historic buildings or
sites that currently have an undesirable impact on the community; and WHEREAS if not for the credit, other states offer this financial incentive to encourage developers to invest
in historic sites located outside of Oakland County; and WHEREAS Oakland County has a long history of supporting the Oakland County Historical Commission;
and WHEREAS Oakland County has 14 local units of government with Historic District Commissions to attract
and assist developers who might benefit from the Historic Preservation Tax Credit identify locations within Oakland County for the preservation of our local history; and

historic buildings in Oakland County and across the State.

Weipert, District #8 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – RECOGNITION OF SCHOOL BREAKFAST WEEK IN
OAKLAND COUNTY – MARCH 5-9, 2018 To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentleman: WHEREAS begun as a pilot in 1966, today 11.6 million students in America receive a nutritious breakfast
each day through the School Breakfast Program; and WHEREAS in 1975, the School Breakfast Program received permanent authorization from Congress
which declared its intent that the program “be made available in all schools where it is needed to provide adequate nutrition for children in attendance” with priority consideration for those schools with a special
need to improve the nutrition and dietary practices of children from low-income families; and WHEREAS serving children breakfast at school significantly improves their cognitive or mental abilities,
enabling them to be more alert, pay better attention and achieve proficiency on standardized test scores; and
WHEREAS research shows the simple act of eating school breakfast can dramatically change a child’s life, resulting in higher test scores, calmer classrooms, fewer trips to the nurse, and better attendance and
graduation rates; and WHEREAS breakfast consumption is also associated with other healthy lifestyle factors, and a University
of Michigan study found children who do not consume breakfast are more likely to be less physically active and have a lower cardio respiratory fitness level than those students who exhibit habitual school-
day breakfast consumption; and WHEREAS children who receive breakfast at school avoid chronic absenteeism, experience fewer health
problems associated with hunger, such as dizziness, lethargy, stomach aches and ear aches, and perform significantly better than their peers who do not receive breakfast at school in terms of
cooperation, discipline and inter-personal behaviors; and WHEREAS the School Breakfast Program has potential long-term economic benefits such as students
who attend class on a regular basis are 20% more likely to graduate from high school, in addition, high school graduates typically earn $10,000 more per year and enjoy a 4% higher employment rate; and
WHEREAS a study sponsored by the United States Department of Agriculture Economic Research Service found that elementary school-age students are more likely to participate in the School Breakfast
Program when they come from lower income households; and WHEREAS failure to fully utilize the federally funded School Breakfast Program has substantial economic
costs that greatly reduce the return on educational investment in communities across the nation; and WHEREAS schools are expanding breakfast service, inspiring businesses, non-profits and other public-
private partnerships to join the mission of feeding children; and WHEREAS United Way for Southeastern Michigan strives to advance the quality of life for residents and
families in Oakland County by investing in programs like the School Breakfast Program; and
