WHEREAS the purpose of this resolution is to establish a long-term policy
reinforcing the County's intention to continue to support CLEMIS to the extent

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - "TAKE YOUR CHILD TO WORK DAY"
Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 22, 1994
489
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County has traditionally supported programs to aid in the
development of children, including those that promote self-esteem, instill good
work habits, and champion ethics and integrity; and
WHEREAS "Take Your Daughter to Work Day" has been devised by the Ms.
Foundation to influence young girls to think more highly of females in general
and of themselves in particular, by exposing them to successful women in the
workplace; and
WHEREAS an annual event dedicated to bringing one's son to work would
certainly be decried by feminists as discriminatory against girls; therefore it
necessarily follows that "Take Your Daughter to Work Day" must be
discriminatory against boys; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has undertaken considerable efforts to ensure an
equal opportunity work environment, and to provide programs and services in an
equitable manner without regard to race, sex, creed, or national origin; and
WHEREAS to uphold the standard of equal opportunity in all its endeavors,
Oakland County will observe "Take Your Child to Work Day."
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners hereby authorizes the observance of "Take Your Child to Work Day"
in lieu of "Take Your Daughter to Work Day."
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this observance shall occur once annually, on
the same date that "Take Your Daughter to Work Day" is observed by other
organizations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the administration be directed to provide
proper notification to the employees of this observance, and to take all
appropriate precautions to minimize risks to the County, employees, and their
children in the observance of "Take Your Child to Work Day."

IN RE: (SUPPORT) H.R. 140, MANDATE RELIEF ACT, AND DISCHARGE PETITION #25
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS local and state government should not be responsible for
subsidizing federally mandated programs or required to enact local taxes to
support such unfunded mandates; and
WHEREAS our citizens, like those throughout this nation, have been
encumbered with an unprecedented tax burden, one which diminishes our
lifestyles, restricts our business development, and inhibits financial growth;
and
WHEREAS the passage of H.R. 140 would protect states and localities from
future unfunded federal mandates by making any new requirements applicable only
if all funds necessary to pay the direct costs incurred are provided by the
federal government; and
WHEREAS unless H.R. 140 is discharged from committee, there will be no
meaningful mandate relief offered to local governments, as current compromise
measures lack any effective enforcement mechanisms.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby reiterate its strong support for the passage of H.R.
140, and urges Oakland County's Congressional Representatives to not only sign,
but work in support of Discharge Petition #25, so that the elimination of
future unfunded federal mandates can be voted on as contained in H.R. 140.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board directs that certified copies of
this resolution be sent to our Congressional Representatives, State
Legislators, and all other Counties in the State, the Michigan Association of
Counties, National Association of Counties, and our legislative agent.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #94284
BY: Commissioner Shelley Goodman Taub
IN RE: DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS while as a society we have looked the other way, the problem of
domestic violence has grown in magnitude and gravity, permeating our entire
society, taking a toll on not only the lives of today's victims, but also
extracting a huge price from the lives of future generations who will bear the
scars, and who will continue the transmission of this violent behavior if there
is not immediate and substantial interdiction; and
WHEREAS because there are limited resources available within the public
sector to assist those families and individuals who are victims of domestic
violence, spousal abuse, and sexual assault, it is incumbent upon all of us to
work within our civic, charitable, and community organizations to provide
education to the community, support to the public agencies assisting domestic
violence victims, and direct aid to those victims; and
WHEREAS Oakland County is extremely fortunate to have a multitude of
concerned citizens who have dedicated much of their time, expertise, money and
compassion to form private agencies and support groups to aid these victims of
violence, and to lobby for needed protective laws, increased enforcement, and a
firm commitment by our community that domestic violence and spousal abuse are
crimes and will not be tolerated.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby declare that Oakland County recognizes the month of
October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and urges all of its citizens and
community groups to work for and support all efforts to eliminate domestic
violence and spousal abuse.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
Shelley Goodman Taub
