imprisonment for up to 2 years on the first conviction; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Sheriff is in favor of raising the penalty for felony firearms charges for
those incidents involving a stolen or unregistered firearm from 2 years to 3 years on the first conviction; and

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the basic needs of our children, including feeling physically secure and protected, must be met for them to succeed in school and life; and
WHEREAS the responsibility for keeping students and staff safe on campus, including from gun violence, is a shared responsibility by not only the schools, but requires support from policymakers and public safety agencies at the community, local, state and federal levels; and WHEREAS gun violence in American schools occur with a frequency and a severity that is unparalleled anywhere in the world; and WHEREAS gun violence on school campuses represent a particularly egregious and unacceptable threat
to the lives of students, teachers and staff across the country; and WHEREAS according to data compiled by the Washington Post, 5,570 children have been exposed to gun violence at Michigan schools since 2000; and WHEREAS emergency protocols such as the activation of a panic alarm can accomplish a number of
early warning safety measures for students and faculty; and WHEREAS the importance of security systems in schools should be a top priority of our state and local
leaders; implementing emergency protocols designed to optimize response to an emergency situation has shown to minimize the outcome of gun violence; and WHEREAS early warning safety measures can alert staff and faculty to the presence of a threat and immediately initiate additional crisis management procedures; and
WHEREAS emergency protocols can alert emergency responders such as police and EMS crews, instantly diminishing the response time in critical school violence situations; and
WHEREAS the most effective approach to creating safe school environments is a comprehensive, coordinated effort including schoolwide, districtwide and communitywide strategies supplemented with
legislation, resources and support from the state and federal level. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners appeals to the

maintenance and improvement, for capital improvements shown to increase safety and security. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners calls upon the Michigan
Legislature to pass legislation requiring a comprehensive school safety plan to invest in the implementation of an alternate tone system in response to school gun violence situations by all

Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS recent events have placed student safety in the national, state and local spotlight,
underscoring the importance of schools and communities engaged in addressing the conditions of safety for our children. In an era of limited resources, collaboration between our educational systems, local law
enforcement and government agencies will be necessary to maintain safe schools; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners support the right of students and staff to attend

disruptions are minimized; drugs, violence, bullying and fear are not present; students are not discriminated against; expectations for behavior are clearly communicated and standards of behavior are
maintained; and consequences for infractions are consistently and fairly applied; and WHEREAS the loss of life is unacceptable and school shootings are a tragedy that affect the whole
society; and WHEREAS student injury and death are statistically much greater from drug abuse, child abuse, suicide,
bullying, and auto accidents; and WHEREAS the most effective approach to creating safe school environments requires a comprehensive,
coordinated effort including schoolwide, districtwide and communitywide strategies where all institutions, organizations and individuals must accept responsibility for their critical roles and recognize the necessity
to collaborate in establishing a positive and safe academic environment to achieve the highest success for our children; and
WHEREAS early warning alert systems provide the ability to rapidly alert students and faculty to a wide range of emergency situations, such as an active shooter, intruder on the premises, or a natural event; and WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners believe local schools should be provided with
the necessary resources to increase the number of trained adults on campus, the security of school facilities and collaboration with local agencies; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports local school districts and communities in developing, implementing and monitoring policies and programs to address the prevention, intervention and elimination of school violence.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - DESIGNATION OF NATIONAL ADULT EDUCATION AND FAMILY LITERACY WEEK SEPTEMBER 24 – 29, 2018 To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS National Adult Education and Family Literacy Week raises public awareness about the need for and value of adult education and family literacy; and
WHEREAS the goal is to leverage resources that support access to basic education programs for the 36 million U.S. adults with low literacy skills; and WHEREAS Adult Education serves adults, 16 years of age and older, who are no longer enrolled in school and may be functioning below the 12th grade level; and WHEREAS many high school dropouts do not have the literacy skills to complete their education, transition to postsecondary education or vocational training or become employed; and
WHEREAS many individuals who are unemployed, underemployed or receive public assistance lack the literacy skills to obtain and keep a job with a family-sustaining income, continue their education or participate in job training programs; and WHEREAS the National Center for Education Statistics reports that low levels of literacy are likely to limit life chances and may be related to social welfare issues including poverty, incarceration and preventive healthcare; and
WHEREAS a recent survey indicated that 92% of business leaders thought that U.S. workers were not skilled as they are needed to be; and WHEREAS sixty-three percent of all U.S. jobs will require education beyond high school and yet nearly half of the U.S. workforce – about 88 million of 188 million adults aged 18 to 64 – only have a high school
education or less and/or low English proficiency; and WHEREAS the American Action Forum projects by 2020 that the U.S. will be short an estimated 7.5
million private sector workers across all skill levels; and WHEREAS Adult Education and family literacy are the best available weapons against inter-generational low literacy; and WHEREAS educating motivated students with the skills that companies need provides a qualified
candidate for hard to fill positions and Adult Education builds the skills of workers; and WHEREAS adults with a high school degree are more likely to work full time and average 20% higher earnings ($30,000) well above the poverty line for a family of four; and WHEREAS parents in family literacy programs become more involved in their children’s education and
gain the tools necessary to obtain a job or find better employment; and WHEREAS parental involvement is a key predictor of a child’s success, the level of parental involvement
increases as the education level of the parent increases; and WHEREAS this results in children’s lives to become more stable, and success in the classroom, and in all future endeavors, becomes more likely; and WHEREAS a better educated population strengthens our communities, makes them safer and contributes
to a community’s economic growth; and WHEREAS National Adult Education and Family Literacy week highlights the need to support efforts to
ensure each and every citizen has the necessary literacy skills to succeed at home, at work and in society; and
WHEREAS the literacy of our citizens is essential for the economic well-being of Oakland County, our society and the individuals who benefit from full participation.

reimbursement at 50% will be reimbursed based on the Child Care Fund Handbook. 5. The figures provided are estimates for State Child Care Fund budgeting purposes only, based on

Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS the Water Resources Commissioner has been reviewing changes within the wastewater industry; and WHEREAS wastewater is increasingly being recognized as a valued source of renewable resources; and WHEREAS the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is urging wastewater treatment facilities, which treat human and animal waste, to be viewed as Renewable Resource Recovery Facilities that produce
clean water, recover energy and generate nutrients; and WHEREAS the Water Resources Commissioner is requesting to change the name of the Pontiac Wastewater Treatment Plant to the Clinton River Water Resource Recovery Facility (CRWRRF); and WHEREAS the Pontiac Wastewater Treatment Plant is different from the other Water Resources
Commissioner treatment plants because it is staffed twenty-four hours per day and will be implementing the new bio-solids process; and

BY: Commissioner Dave Woodward, District 19 IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT MICHIGAN HOUSE BILL 5857 – STEMMING TEENAGE OPIOID PILFERING (STOP) BILL To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen: WHEREAS Oakland County and the State of Michigan continue their diligent work to address the tragic
opioid epidemic in our county and state; and WHEREAS opioids, in the form of powerful and highly addictive pain killers, have led to rising numbers of opioid dependence among Michigan residents, subsequently, increasing the access for our youth to these harmful prescription drugs by way of the family medicine cabinet; and
WHEREAS the landscape of prescription drugs and pain management has drastically changed and some of today’s drugs are 80 times stronger than morphine; and
WHEREAS a study, gathering data from The Bureau of Labor Statistics, The Center for Disease Control, The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, among others, found that Michigan ranks 4th in the United States for states with the highest drug use in 2018; and WHEREAS according to a Johns Hopkins University study, “pilfering” is the leading cause of youth opioid
abuse, resulting in nearly 600,000 children and teens in the United States becoming hooked on prescription pain pills; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 9, 2018

WHEREAS “pilfering” is the act of stealing someone else’s prescription medication for recreational use with the hope that it will go undetected; and WHEREAS each year 960,000 children nationally, between the ages of 12 and 17 initiate prescription drug abuse and many children start in middle school; and
WHEREAS Michigan House Bill 5857, Stemming Teenage Opioid Pilfering (STOP) bill, has been introduced in the Michigan Legislature, which would amend Public Act 368 of 1978 entitled the “Public Health Code,” regarding the dispensing of schedule 2 controlled substances in a lockable vial, this represents an effort by the legislature to address the public health and safety concern of the prescription drug abuse among our youth; and WHEREAS the Federal Poison Prevention Packaging Act was enacted and child-resistant vials were
designed in 1970, with the goal to prevent children younger than 5 from gaining access to aspirin; and WHEREAS the ineffective and outdated child-resistant prescription vials, currently in use, have not been modified in nearly 50 years; and WHEREAS House Bill 5857 is aimed to deter young people from having access to prescription drugs by
requiring opioids and other Schedule II drugs to be sealed in a lockable vial; and WHEREAS patients would only be able to open the caps through a combination code or biometric
recognition system; and WHEREAS experts believe the measure would prevent 150,000 young people from initiating drug abuse, save more than $1 billion in health care costs, and return $715 million in lost productivity and criminal justice costs to Michigan’s economy over a ten-year period; and
WHEREAS requiring opioids and other highly addictive Schedule II drugs be dispensed in Locking Prescription Vials will significantly reduce pilfering, save lives and save millions in excess costs to local
communities; and WHEREAS Oakland County recognizes that elected leaders must adapt or seek new methods of fighting
the problem of opioid drug abuse in teenagers; the proposed HB 5857 provides a focused cost-effective measure with emphasis on preventive strategies.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby offer their support of HB 5857 as introduced by the Michigan House of Representatives.
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 Oakland County members of the Michigan congressional delegation, the members of the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature, the members of the Michigan House Health
Policy Committee, the members of the Michigan Senate Health Policy Committee, and the Michigan Prescription Drug and Opioid Abuse Task Force.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution. DAVE WOODWARD
