BY: Commissioners Shelley Taub, Charles Palmer, Marilynn Gosling, Hubert Price
IN RE: COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH - AUTHORIZATION TO CARRY FORWARD 93/94 LAPSED
FUNDS
TO the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS since June 1993 the Oakland County Community Mental Health
Services Board (CMH), under authorization of the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners, is a full management board under contract with the Michigan
Department of Mental Health (MDMH); and
WHEREAS full management allows CMH a unique opportunity to thoroughly
review and redesign current programs as well as develop new programs to meet
the mental health needs of Oakland County residents; and
WHEREAS in order to facilitate the planning process, Oakland County
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 28, 1994
240
established a Transition Planning Team process which formed committees made up
of CMH and County staff, consumers, family members, private and private
providers, and other stakeholders, in the design of programs for specific
population groups; and
WHEREAS in order to carefully plan for community needs and receive input
from all interested parties, the planning process will take until the summer of
1994 to complete; and
WHEREAS on March 9, 1994, MDMH sent Oakland CMH the State Fiscal Year
(FY) 1993/1994 Authorization which, due to decreased use of state facilities,
included a minimum of $2.4 million in funds that could be used for program
expansion based on the plans now under development; and
WHEREAS the length of the planning process will not allow CMH to spend
all of these funds, by the end of the fiscal year, and as a result they will be
lapsed back to MDMH at the end of State FY 93/94; and
WHEREAS the lapsing of these funds would deprive Oakland County residents
of resources to meet the overwhelming demand for mental health services, as
witnessed by the extensive waiting lists for residential placements for
citizens who are developmentally disabled and other services; and
WHEREAS these funds could be used to support start-up efforts for the
programs developed through the planning process; and
WHEREAS should these unspent FY 93/94 funds be carried forward into FY
94/95, they could be used to fund start-up costs for the community-designed
programs while allowing the base FY 94/95 MDMH authorization for Oakland County
to cover regular operating costs; and
WHEREAS carry-forward of funds is a common practice when establishing new
programs, as reflected in the budgeting of federal grants through MDMH; MDMH
has in fact proposed Mental Health Code changes that would authorize carry-
forward of unspent funds.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Community Mental
Health Services Board be authorized to carry-forward unspent FY 93/94 funds
into FY 94/95, to cover start-up cost and community demand needs, with the
understanding that all carried forward unspent FY 93/94 funds unencumbered
September 30, 1995 be lapsed back to the Department of Mental Health.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Resolution be sent to all
Community Mental Health Boards in Michigan; the Michigan Association of Mental
Health Boards, and MAC.

shall not be obligated to acquire or construct any facilities other than those
designated in paragraph 2 hereof. The project is an improvement, enlargement
and extension of the System and the Base Contract shall apply thereto except as
the same may be specifically modified herein for specific application to the
project.
The County hereby agrees that it will secure and maintain, or cause to be
secured and maintained, during the period of construction adequate property
damage and public liability insurance covering all facilities to be constructed
pursuant to this contract. All policies of insurance shall provide that the
County and the City shall be insured parties thereunder and shall contain a
provision requiring that the City be notified at least ten days prior to
cancellation thereof. One copy of each policy of insurance shall be filed with
the City.
6. The City shall pay to the County the entire cost of the project.
The term "cost" as used herein shall be construed to include all items of cost
of the type set forth on Exhibit "B" attached hereto and any other items of
cost of a similar nature as may be set forth in any revision of said Exhibit
"B" agreed to by the parties hereto, incurred by the County in acquiring and
constructing the project. The cost of the project will be paid by the City in
installments as follows:
(1) The sum of $600,000 to be paid upon execution of this
contract, being the estimated cost of obtaining plans,
specifications, detailed estimates of cost and easements.
(2) The sum of $400,000 to be paid when completed bid plans and
specifications are received and accepted by the County
Agency.
(3) The balance of the cost of the project (estimated now to be
$6,000,000) when construction bids are received and prior to
the award of construction contracts.
Shown on Exhibit "C" is the schedule of installment payments to be made by the
City, which schedule will be revised as detailed estimates are made and when
construction bids are received.
The County Agency shall notify the City, by written communication
addressed to its treasurer, of the time and amount of the next payment due
hereunder. The City covenants and agrees, not less than ten (10) days after
receipt of such notice, to remit to the County sufficient funds to pay the
amount then due. The obligations herein expressed shall be applicable to all
obligations and contracts incurred or entered into by the County to construct
and complete the project, or any part thereof, whether incurred or entered into
at one time or more than one time. It is assumed that the aggregate amount of
all installments payments will represent the cost of the project. If the City
shall fail to make any of such payments when due, the County and the County
Agency shall have no obligation to proceed further with acquisition or
construction of the project. The City shall be obligated to pay the entire
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 28, 1994
252
cost of the Project, and the County shall never be required, for any reason, to
pay any portion of the cost of the Project from its own funds.
7. After completion of the project and payment of all costs thereof,
any surplus remaining from the payments received from the City and any interest
earned on such payments shall be returned to it or, in the alternative, the
surplus may be used at the request of the City and upon approval by the County
Agency, to improve, enlarge or extend the project.
8. If the payments received from the City are for any reason
insufficient to complete the project in accordance with the plans and
specifications therefor, the County Agency shall, if necessary, submit to the
City a request for payment of the additional amount due with an explanation in
writing of the reasons and need therefor and of the amount necessary to provide
funds to complete the project in which event the duties and obligations of the
County Agency and the City as expressed and set forth in this contract shall be
applicable to such additional payment as well as the original payment, it being
at all times fully recognized and agreed that the payments to be made by the
City, in the manner specified in paragraph 6 of this contract, shall be based
upon the aggregate amount of the actual and final project cost.
9. This contract is contingent upon the County actually receiving all
of the payments promised by the City to defray the estimated cost of the
project.
10. The City consents to the establishment and location of the project
within its corporate limits and consents to the use of the streets, alleys and
public places of the City for the location, construction, repair, replacement,
maintenance and use of the water supply and sewage disposal facilities of the
project. After completion, the project shall be used by the City as part of
the System in accordance with the Base Contract.
11. This contract shall become effective upon approval by the
legislative body of the City, by the County Agency, and by the Board of
Commissioners of Oakland County, and duly executed by the authorized officers
of the City and by the County Agency. It shall terminate upon expiration of
the Base Contract, and upon termination all title, possession and ownership of
the project and of any unused or surplus funds shall automatically revert to
the City.
The provisions of this contract shall be in full force and effect and
binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Contract to be
executed and delivered by their respective duly authorized officers, all as of
the day and year first above written.

REPORT (Misc. #94086)

resolution, reports with the recommendation that it be adopted with an
amendment deleting the last BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED paragraph and substituting
the following new paragraph:
"BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
urges Governor John Engler and the Legislature to place an immediate
moratorium on implementing the 1981 Administrative Rules until the
legislature deals with the issues set forth in this resolution."
Chairperson, on behalf of the Planning and Building Committee, I move
acceptance of the foregoing Report.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #94086
BY: Larry Crake, Commissioner, District 4; Sue Douglas, Commissioner,
District 8; Donna Huntoon, Commissioner, District 2; Ruth Johnson,
Commissioner, District 1; Jeff Kingzett, Commissioner, District 7; Lawrence
Obrecht, Commissioner, District 3; Dennis Powers, Commissioner, District 10
IN RE: FORCED SITINGS OF DISPOSAL CAPACITY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS on June 1, 1992, the U.S. Supreme Court rendered a decision that
allows out-of-state and out-of-country wastes to flow freely into Southeastern
Michigan; and
WHEREAS on March 4, 1993, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
adopted a resolution (MR 93001) which:
1. Urged Congress to adopt laws allowing counties to effectively
regulate the flows of out-of-state and out-of-country wastes so
that they may properly plan for the disposal of their own wastes
without that capacity being usurped by uninvited wastes; and
2. Urged the State of Michigan, absent any such timely national
legislation, to suspend the forced siting of new landfills beyond
that necessary for the local waste stream over the short-term (3 to
5 years); and
WHEREAS on October 7, 1993, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
adopted a resolution (MR 93170) which:
3. Urged the State of Michigan to reduce the Act 641 planning period
from 20 years to 10 years (in part to reduce the amount of disposal
capacity originally required and to reduce the threshold at which
capacity must be replenished); and
WHEREAS little progress has been made on this entire issue (both from a
national and state perspective) and Oakland County is currently faced with the
potential mandate of additional disposal capacity (by a state agency which
refuses to change its interpretations of 1981 administrative rules in spite of
a dramatically altered solid waste scene), which will only add additional
capacity which is not required for the short-term needs (3 to 5 years) of the
County's solid waste generators and which excess will become an additional
competitor for the region's limited waste stream, thereby attracting even more
out-of-state and out-of-country wastes as the operators of the numerous
landfills seek to maximize their operation levels.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners reaffirms the problems previously identified, the urgency for
corrective actions required at both a national and state level, and the
solutions presented, as expressed in Miscellaneous Resolutions 93001 and 93170;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Michigan's legislators be urged to adopt
additional changes to Act 641 so that forced sitings of additional disposal
capacity do not occur, unless a county cannot demonstrate that it has access to
at least 5 years of disposal capacity at in-county sites, at sites in other
counties where such is permissive in the approved Act 641 plans, or at out-of-
state sites; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that such changes should be enacted on an
emergency basis, with immediate effect, and which override existing plan
language, litigation, or administrative edicts which may force a county to site

259
additional disposal capacity when it has access to more than 5 years of
disposal needs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
places an immediate moratorium on implementing the 1981 Administrative rules
until the legislature deals with the issues set forth in this resolution.
Chairperson, we move adoption of the foregoing resolution.

BY: Commissioner Sue Douglas, et al
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - AUTHORIZATION TO CONTRACT WITH OUTSIDE
LOBBYIST
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Act 641, the Solid Waste Management Act, requires that Michigan
counties plan for 20 years of disposal capacity for solid waste; and
WHEREAS the forced siting of landfills through an interim siting
mechanism is initiated once Oakland County falls just one day under 20-years of
actual capacity; and
WHEREAS landfills are so plentiful in southeast Michigan that rates have
dropped dramatically over the last two years, and many landfill operators must
take foreign and out-of-state waste to remain economically viable; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Department of Natural Resources has, through the
settlement of a lawsuit with an Oakland County landfill developer, set a series
of deadlines for Oakland County, and only Oakland County, to meet that preclude
the possibility of negotiating the necessary capacity with neighboring
counties; and
WHEREAS Senator Mat Dunaskiss and Representative Thomas Middleton are
introducing legislation which will reduce the planning period in Act 641 to 10
years and allow the forced siting of landfills to occur only when a county has
less than five years of capacity; and
WHEREAS these bills must be passed by both the Michigan Senate and the
Michigan House in a very short period of time to prevent the forced siting of
unnecessary landfills in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the crucial nature of this legislation requires that Oakland
County take every action possible to expedite the adoption of these bills; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has supported these
changes to Act 641 by adoption of Miscellaneous Resolution 93170.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the Chairperson of the Board to retain a lobbyist with
a working knowledge of Act 641 to promote Oakland County's interests during
this legislative process
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the amount expended to retain said lobbyist
shall not exceed ten thousand ($10,000) dollars, such funding to be derived
from the Board of Commissioners' Legislative Expense line item.
Chairperson, we move adoption of the foregoing resolution.
