whereby the system is configured (not customized) by users and allows users a continuous current
version of the application offering the latest in security and business functionality; and
WHEREAS the system offers enhanced dashboard management functionality tools and mobile device

transaction detail from the configured dashboards; and
WHEREAS the one-time implementation costs are estimated at $9,799,792 as detailed in attached Exhibit 1; and WHEREAS recurring costs for the time period of FY 2018 – FY 2023 are estimated at $11,326,520 (approximately $2,219,000 per year) as detailed in attached Exhibit 1; and WHEREAS funding is available for the implementation and on-going operations of the new financial and

stored safely or securely, the risk only increases, resulting in tragic shootings, including unintentional discharges and suicides, that are all too common in America today; and
WHEREAS Child Access Prevention (CAP) laws hold gun owners accountable for the safe storage of firearms, imposing liability for failing to take simple yet important measures to prevent guns from falling
into young hands; and WHEREAS CAP laws are an important tool for reducing preventable shootings and suicides by our
country’s youth; and WHEREAS State Senators Warren and Young recently introduced Senate Bill No. 293, to establish penalties for storing or leaving a firearm where it is accessible to a minor; and WHEREAS a study by the RAND Corporation of firearm storage patterns in U.S. homes found that “[o]f

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS House Bills 5916 and 5917 seek to amend Public Act 287 of 1969, MCL 287.335, by establishing standards a pet shop must meet to be considered a qualified pet shop and prohibit a local
unit of government from regulating a pet shop that meets those standards; and WHEREAS even though HB 5916 adds restrictions to the sale of dogs by pet shops, there is still
opportunity to allow the sale of animals from, or by way of, facilities with inhumane breeding and/or shelter practices; and
WHEREAS HB 5917 creates a new act to prohibit a county, city, village or township from enacting or enforcing an ordinance, policy, resolution, or rule that regulates a qualified pet shop; and
WHEREAS ensuring local communities are not preempted from enforcing local ordinances with the passage of state legislation, provides communities that are taking action to improve their economic
fortunes, protect their quality of life, and crack down on horrific abuses against animals; and WHEREAS more than 260 localities across the nation, including 3 in Michigan, have enacted ordinances
preventing the sale of commercially produced puppies in pet stores; and WHEREAS Macomb and Genesee Counties have adopted resolutions opposing House Bills 5916 and
5917 in their respective commissions; and WHEREAS similar preemption bills have been rejected in recent years by state legislators in Florida,
Georgia, Tennessee and Illinois; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes HB 5916 and 5917 as an effort to protect animals from inhumane conditions in commercial breeding facilities and stores, help reduce the number of healthy animals surrendered to local animal shelters and animal groups, reduce the financial
burden on local animal control organizations, and reduce the financial and emotional strain often experienced by unsuspecting citizens who unknowingly purchase animals that were bred in commercial
animal breeding facilities; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners champions the protection of an animal’s welfare and the consumers’ rights to purchase a healthy pet from a sensibly regulated breeder or pet shop as well as ensuring local communities have oversight.

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the average person in the United States uses 1.6 straws per day, resulting in 500 million plastic straws being disposed of daily. This equates to enough trash to circle the earth 2.5 times; and

WHEREAS plastic straws release toxins that remain in our environment and take up to 200 years to decompose; and
WHEREAS paper straws are a better option because they are biodegradable and decompose within 45-60 days; and
WHEREAS straws are becoming taxed, banned, and boycotted worldwide. At least 3,000 people from over 44 countries have signed the “OneLessStrawPledge,” vowing not to use straws for 30 days; and
