MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #92259
By: Finance Committee, Dr. G. William Caddell, Chairperson
IN RE: OAKLAND COUNTY (OPPOSE) CHILD CARE FUND CAP CHANGES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS a Michigan Probate Judges Association subcommittee has recommended changes in the
method by which Child Care Funds are distributed to the 83 counties in Michigan by adjusting how the Child
Care Fund formula and cap are calculated; and
WHEREAS these funding changes would penalize counties such as Oakland which have taken the lead in
developing in-home care and other prevention programs and would result in a windfall for those who have
not, such as Wayne County; and
WHEREAS Oakland County would suffer an additional loss of approximately $727,000 annually under the
funding change recommended by the subcommittee; and
WHEREAS Oakland County is an initiate party to a lawsuit pending decision which challenges the
constitutionality of the Child Care cap, support for any funding changes may jeopardize the outcome of that
suit; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Probate Judges, the County Executive and the Board of Commissioner's
Program Evaluation staff oppose any change to the distribution method of child care funds (except for the
elimination of the cap) for the reasons listed above.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes any
change in the Child Care Fund formula until all questions regarding the constitutionality of the Child Care
Fund cap are resolved.

Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Michigan Department of Public Health (MDPH) has notified Oakland County, in writing,
that the 1992/1993 Venereal Disease reimbursement amount will be $118,556, an increase of $58,556
above the 1991/1992 amount; and
WHEREAS the increase funding is available beginning October 1, 1992; and WHEREAS
this increase in funding is specifically designed to fund one (1) additional, governmental funded Public Health
Nurse II position to expand venereal disease prevention services to Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the annual cost of this position equals $39,765 ($27,808 salary, $11,957 fringe), cost for the
balance of 1992 (3.5 pays) equals $5,312 ($3,715 salary, $1,597 fringe); and
WHEREAS the balance of the increase will be used to fund ongoing venereal disease prevention

WHEREAS because the reimbursement increase is specifically designed to cover 100% of the new

WHEREAS the Oakland County Circuit Court by its Order dated November 8, 1991 established the

property owners will be assessed for the cost of construction and future maintenance for the Lake Louise
Dam; and
WHEREAS the Drain Commissioner in order to proceed with the construction of a new dam for Lake
Louise and Huff Lake requests the advance of an amount not to exceed $535,000, with the full amount of the

advance to be repaid with simple interest at an annual rate of ** %; and
WHEREAS the actual amount to be advanced, not to exceed $535,000, shall be determined after the
receipt of competitive bids for the construction of the new dam; and
WHEREAS the Drain Commissioner herewith submits for the approval of the Board of Commissioners
the estimated cost of the lake level control project (Exhibit A), and a special assessment roll to recover that
cost (Exhibit B)
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, for the
