MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #93215
BY: General Government Committee, Donald W. Jensen, Chairperson
IN RE: CLERK/REGISTER OF DEEDS - OPTICAL SCAN VOTING SYSTEM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS for the past 18 months the Oakland County Clerk's Office, in
conjunction with the County's Municipal and Township Clerks, has been
investigating alternative voting systems for use in Oakland County's 545
polling precincts; and
WHEREAS four types of voting systems are presently used in Oakland County:
optical scan, punch card, paper ballot and automatic voting machines (AVM),
Commissioners Minutes Continued. October 7, 1993
374
these systems obligating the County to the printing of four types of ballots:
optical scan, punch card, paper ballot and machine; and
WHEREAS the punch card and AVM systems 1) are comprised of older
equipment, much of which is obsolete, and requires ever-increasing maintenance,
2) often aid in causing longer lines at polling precincts due to their drag on
the voting process by decreasing throughput speed, and 3) inevitably result in
slower ballot tabulation largely due to spoiled ballots because of over voting;
and
WHEREAS upon completion of its investigation, the Clerk's Office has
concluded that the optical scan system will provide immediate efficiency and
economic benefits through creation of a faster voting process, increased
accuracy, voter friendliness and standardization of equipment and voting system
across the County's polling precincts; and
WHEREAS local units of government are responsible for the acquisition and

IN RE: SOLID WASTE: ACT 641 - CHANGE 20-YEAR PLANNING REQUIREMENT TO 10-YEARS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Michigan's law governing solid waste, Act 641, requires that each

falls below certain threshold levels; and

due to changing population trends, new technology, changing disposal needs,
shifting composition of the solid waste stream, and a fluctuating waste stream
volume, and
WHEREAS, the State's required 20 years of planned solid waste capacity
discourages waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. Also, the 20-year

focusing on traditional methods of incineration and landfilling; and
WHEREAS, the Solid Waste Management Planning Program Review Work Group
completed its report and made its recommendation to the DNR on March 4, 1993.
This committee, comprised of Michigan planners, industry representatives,
environmentalists, township officials, and Michigan Municipal League
representatives, recommended that Act 641 reduce the 20-year requirement of
planned solid waste capacity to 10 years of planned capacity.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby urge the State of Michigan to reduce the 20-year
capacity requirement contained within Act 641 to a 10-year requirement.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the
