IN RE: RESCISSION OF "OPERATIONAL POLICY GROUND WATER DENSITY CONTROL"
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Health Division, by administrative fiat,
instituted on September 6, 1989, a policy known as "Operational Policy Ground
Water Density Control"; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Health Division can act either by authority of
law or resolution adopted by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners; and
WHEREAS the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees U.S.
citizens the "due process of law" in regard to property; and
WHEREAS the Subdivision Control Act of 1967, P.A. 288 and The Public
Health Code of 1978, P.A. 368, specifically state the requirement of approval
by the "local governing entity", which is the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has not approved, or
even been requested to approve, this policy; and
WHEREAS attempting to control land use and density by Oakland County
Health Division policy is a violation of the Home Rule Rights of townships,
villages and cities.
NOW THEREFOR BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners directs that application and enforcement of this policy be
immediately discontinued.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all governmental units which have been
affected by this policy be informed of its cessation.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - POLICY PROHIBITING BUSINESS ACTIVITY WITH
VIETNAM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS totalitarian governments such as Vietnam's represent enslavement,
oppression, tyranny and stand as an affront to American ideals of liberty and
freedom; and
WHEREAS in the 1960's and 1970's, the men and women of the United States
Armed Forces left behind their families and careers to engage in battle for the
protection of the persecuted and victimized people of Vietnam, and to reaffirm
our own deeply rooted love of democracy and our soul-felt desire for a world at
peace; and
WHEREAS the President recently lifted a 19-year-old U.S. trade embargo on
all commercial and financial transactions with Vietnam which was originally
imposed as part of a unilateral severing of all diplomatic relations with the
communist government in 1975; and
WHEREAS support for the severing of diplomatic relations has remained
strong over the years due to the poor state of human rights in Vietnam,
knowledge of the Vietnamese government's vicious treatment of American POW's,
and Vietnam's refusal to assist the United States in accounting for our POW's
and MIA's; and
WHEREAS the President's decision is a big victory for Vietnam in that it
enhances and expedites the process of bringing Vietnam back into the
international financial community; and
WHEREAS we do not honor those Veterans who served their country
faithfully and honorably in Vietnam, nor do we honor the memory of those who
were imprisoned and tortured, and those who were killed, by lifting the trade
embargo and promoting the economy of a totalitarian nation, a nation which has
historically shown total disregard in providing even a minimum of information
regarding United States POW's and MIA's; and
WHEREAS although recent periodic gestures have been made by Vietnam under
the guise of cooperation, these gestures have been symbolic and not substantive
as there remains a significant number of POW's and MIA's unaccounted for; and
WHEREAS it is, therefore, inappropriate for Oakland County government to
engage, either directly or indirectly, in business with Vietnam until the
accounting for United States POW's and MIA's has been satisfactorily resolved.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby prohibits Oakland County government from engaging in any
business with Vietnam, either directly or indirectly through such means as
contracting with organizations who engage in business with Vietnam, or
purchasing the products or services of those organizations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Oakland County political, industrial,
commercial, cultural and other organizations are hereby encouraged to refrain
from engaging in business with Vietnam until such time as the accounting for
United States POW's and MIA's is satisfactorily resolved.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be submitted to
Oakland County's state legislative delegation and the Governor, and that the
state legislature be admonished to adopt similar legislation in response to the
lifting of the U.S. trade embargo against Vietnam.
I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
