Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Corporation Counsel has researched and determined that Public Act

that a blanket bond for all officers and employees is in the best interest of
the County; and

of the County is served through acquisition of a blanket bond for all officers

benefit(s) of individual versus blanket, faithful performance bond(s), the
Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby determines that a single, blanket

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that each elected and appointed County official,
and/or other County employee, required by law to provide a faithful performance
bond, shall be covered by a single, blanket bond from the Aetna Life and
Casualty company in the amount of at least $5,000, except that the County
Treasurer's and the Chief Deputy Treasurer bond shall be in the amount of
$250,000.

WHEREAS the County of Oakland purchases and/or leases a fleet of
passenger cars, trucks, and sheriff vehicles necessary to conduct its daily

WHEREAS Oakland County has long engaged in the practice of purchasing

General Motors vehicles.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
requires that the purchase and/or lease of county vehicles be limited to
domestic manufacturers with significant employment and facilities within the
boundaries of Oakland County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this policy shall not be construed to require
the purchasing and/or leasing of vehicles from every eligible manufacturer, but

Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS MCLA 801.83 authorizes counties to seek reimbursement from each
inmate who is or was a prisoner at a county jail for not more than $30 per day
or the actual per diem cost of maintaining that prisoner, whichever is less,
for the entire period of time the person was confined in the county jail,
including any period of pretrial detention; and
WHEREAS several counties in the state of Michigan, including Oakland
County, have calculated their actual per diem costs for maintaining prisoners
at their respective county jails to be in excess of the $30 per day limit
established in MCLA 801.83; and
WHEREAS MCLA 801.87 also authorizes counties to initiate civil action,
within six (6) months of the release of a person who was sentenced to a county
jail, to seek reimbursement from that person for maintenance and support of
that person while a prisoner; and
WHEREAS this six month time frame does not allow sufficient opportunity
for alternative reimbursement remedies to be implemented; and
WHEREAS House Bill 5087 (Substitute H-1) has been introduced in the state
legislature and would amend MCLA 801.83 and 801.87 to increase the $30 per day

months, respectively.
