NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby approve Phase I of the interim Community Corrections Plan for Oakland County as follows: * Hire a Community Corrections Manager (Manager) and related clerical support staff. * Hold meetings with parties in interest and the Manager to obtain detailed concerns in the CCP's development. * Develop specific plans associated with the action steps to be explored.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the Board of Commissioners does hereby Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 23, 1993 357 approve the draft letters attached to this resolution.
