Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 12, 1991
Significant financial difficulties ; budget cuts and reductions in State and Federal Assistance and
the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has previously considered the establishment of a revolving
fund to provide capital for infrastructure improvements and other public works projects in older
communities. Such a fund could be financed with bond sales, loans would be repaid by municipalities
and the ultimate cost to the County should be nothing. The Federal Government, through enactment of
the Transportation package, has recognized the validity of "public works projects as a means of
providing employment and stimulating the economy and unemployment in Michigan remains at
unacceptably high levels which exceed the national unemployment rate and hundreds of thousands of
homeless and underemployed Michigan residents are desperate for well-paid, low skill jobs in
construction and public works. The delinquent tax revolving fund has accumulated significant
amounts of money (the Statement of Receipts up to 10-31-91 showed $8.3 million and that tax
collections were $1.1 million ahead of budget) which could be used to provide initial financing for
the establishment of such a revolving fund. Therefore be it resolved, that the 1992 budget be
amended to reflect a reduction of $1 million from the delinquent tax revolving fund with said money
designated for use as loans to municipalities with significant public works and infrastructure
improvement projects, to be approved by the Board of Commissioners. Interest on the loans shall be
zero and no single project requiring mcre tnan $200,000.00 shall be approved and no municipality may
receive more than one such loan. Projects involving a 50% or greater match of funds by the
municipality shall be favored for approval. Loans shall be repaid over a period of ten years unless
another time period is specified in individual contracts between the County and the municipality.
Other restrictions may be imposed, on a case by case basis, by the 3oard of Commissioners.
AYES: McPherson, Oaks, Pernick, Price, Serra, Aaron, Ferrens, Krause. (8)

All general fund budgeted items of expenditures which this Board Of Commissioners has the
sole right and authority to dispose and expend, and which expenditures and items are not used in the
year 1992, shall be transferred into a line item known as the "Murphy Millage Reduction Fund.'
Further, that any new sources of revenues which are not listed in this budget or revenues listed
which are received in amounts in excess of the amounts set forth in this budget shall also be placed
in the Murphy Nillage Reduction Fund. The Finance Committee shall, on or before September 30, 1992,
calculate the exact amount of funds in the Murphy Millage Reduction Fund as of a date certain and
shall estimate the amount that will be in said Fund as of December 31, 1992 and shall use said Fund
as a basis of recommending to this Board of Commissioners a reduced property tax rate for County
operations for the year 1993. This Board of Commissioners reserves the right to use funds in the
Millage Reduction Fund to meet contingencies that may arise and require funding in the year 1992

Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen;
WHEREAS tne Ad Hoc Professional Services Contract Review Committee has completed a
comprehensive review of current policies and practices as they relate to professional service
contracts entered into by Oakland County; and
WhEREAS the results of this review process indicate that adoption of certain policy
revisions would serve to enhance the County's practices regarding the administration of professional
services contracts from initiation of Requests for Proposals through selection, implementation,
monitoring and evaluation; and
WhLREAS the Oakland County Purchasing Division currently operates under the administrative
guidelines specified in the Purchasing Division's Policies and Procedures Manual which includes
Qualificatien-Basee Selection (US) utilized in the selection process for professional service
contracts involving architects and engineers.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that, in recognition of the importance that the purchasing
function be concucted in a fair and consistent manner and that one of the most important aspects of
a sound purchasing system is to have written policies and procedures, the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners adopts the following recommendations which shall be incorporated into and made a part
of the !Wand County Purchasing Policies and Procedures Manual:
A. All Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for professional services require inclusion of the
entire scope of services to be rendered and divided into pnases, if appropriate, such that eacn
phase may be bid on separately.
B. For any given professional service request, there shall be an establishment of rates
based on qualifications and experience.
C. All proposals and contracts for professional services shall specify the amounts and
rates to be charged for services rendered, as well as a maximum amount which cannot be exceeded
without further authorization.
D. All professional services contracts that affect services otherwise provided by County
personnel shall be reviewed by the Personnel Department and reported to the Personnel Committee
prior to a final decision..
E. All RFPs shall require that professional service proposals and contracts clearly
indicate any in-kind services which may be necessary to the successful completion of the contract.
The County will determine the cost of these services and shall consider this in the proposal
evaluation and selection process.
F. All professional service contracts shall include a provision that authorizes the
County's Auditing Division to perform financial and compliance audits as appropriate with authority
to aceess all pertinent records and interview any of the contractor's employees throughout the term
of the contract ant for a period of three years after final payment to ensure a complete post-
evaluation.
G. Within the Purchasing Division there shall be a Summary Computer Program for all
Professional Service Contracts which are cumulatively over 55,000 annually. The Purchasing Division
wili report to the Finance and General Government Committees in thirty days regarding the status of
this program.
H. There shall be monthly reports to the Finance Committee and appropriate liaison
committee(s) of any contracts which are exceptions to the policies and procedures including
sole-source, sole-vendor, contracts over established rate and contracts awarded to other than low
bidder.
:. PP-200 of the Manual shall be changed by deleting the following from the list of
Division with purchasing authority: (B) Oakland County Facilities Engineering, (C) Oakland County
Department of Public Works, and (E) Oakland County Property Management.
J. PP-030, Item F, shall be amended to read: Formal specifications are well suitee to
technically complex items that cannot be accurately described by more standard methods. Technical
consultants used in preparing formal Specifications shall be precluded from bidding on their own
specifications for that job.
K. To avoid any real or perceived conflict of interest, all proposals or contracts for
Professional Services should, to the extent possible, identify any relative (as defined in Rule 18,
Section II (A) of the Merit System) of the contractor of his/her employees who are presently
employed by Oakland County.

WHEREAS polystyrene can now be recycled but is rot being successfully recycled in an
acceptable amount; and
WHEREAS the manufacturing of polystyrene continues to involve foaming agents (especially
HCFC) which cause damage to the ozone layer even thovgn this damage is less significant than the CFC
formerly usea; and
WHEREAS recycling polystyrene converts styrofoam food containers into other products (such
as insulation for clotning) but does not reduce the total amount of polystyrene being manufactured;
and
WHEREAS it is the manufacture of polystyrene, and not the disposal of polystyrene, which
causes environmental degradation. Recycling affects the disposal of the styrofeam but 'Coes not
cut down on the use of foamins agents in the manufacturing process; and
WHEREAS the survival of our planet may depend on eliminating the use of 02One depleting
elements in the manufacturing of polystyrene.

(even if it is only "incremental") poses a significant health risk; and

products; and
WHEREAS accepted medical authorities have recognized the phenomenon of "styrene migration"
and have reported that polystyrene can migrate into food and be ingested and that ingested
polystyrene causes significant health problems; and
WHEREAS prevention of environmental degradation is less costly than permitting a problem
to occur and hoping to be able to fix it (just as prevention of health problems is cheaper and
smarter than expensive medical care after illness has developed).
WOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners reinstates a
ban on purchasing polystyrene and directs all county agencies, departments, bureaus and personnel to
refrain from buying polystyrene or "styrofoam" products unless no alternative is available.
