accepted.
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the report was accepted.
Moved by Obrecht supported by Schmid the resolution be adopted.
Commissioner Powers requested to abstain from voting on the resolution
and submitted the following statement: "My request for abstention on the
Acceptance of the 1993/94 Oakland County Narcotics Task Force Grant, is made
because Thompson has accused me of obstruction of justice in trying to obtain a
more lenient sentence for my son. Thompson has made many totally unfounded
accusations that I have abused my position as a County Commissioner in forcing
the probation department to recommend The Alternative Center. His proof is
that I voted against the Narcotics Task Force Grant in Committee. It was my
intention to look into the other costs associated with the acceptance of this
grant and to determine whether more than the matching of $125,000 of County
funds would be required in this time of fiscal problems. Upon looking into the
other economic factors, I had decided to vote for this grant. However, due to
Thompson's unfounded allegations, I feel that I must abstain from this vote
because of the aforementioned contrived insinuations."
Moved by Pernick supported by Aaron to allow Commissioner Powers to
abstain from the vote.
