IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CHILD SUPPORT
ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM IN THE OAKLAND COUNTY FRIEND OF THE COURT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the federal government mandated in 1984 that all States have a
state-wide child support enforcement system in place by October 1, 1995; and
WHEREAS the intention of the mandated child support enforcement system is
to facilitate state-wide tracking of individuals under the jurisdiction of the
Friend of the Court system; and
WHEREAS the State of Michigan Department of Social Services has
contracted with the State Court Administrative Office (SCAO) to develop a
state-wide Child Support Enforcement System (CSES) to meet this federal
mandate; and
WHEREAS the SCAO has been developing CSES over the past ten years for a
total estimated cost approaching $90 million; and
WHEREAS significant operating and technical problems have surfaced with
implementation of CSES at Kent County for the fiscal year beginning
October 1, 1994, including, but not limited to: reduced service levels,
increased client complaints, slower processing, labor intense computer system,
need for more staff, inaccuracies in financial and case information, and low
employee morale; and
WHEREAS it is the apparent intention of the SCAO to implement CSES in
Oakland County by September 30, 1995; and
WHEREAS the present computer system in place at Oakland County is
superior to the proposed CSES and has been recognized nationally by winning
awards for certain components, such as electronic imaging and optical disc
storage; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Friend of the Court has won many national
awards for innovative programs; and
WHEREAS the Friend of the Courts of the State of Michigan have led all
other states in child support collections in thirteen of the past fifteen
years; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has unresolved concerns, many of which arise from
the conditions now present at Kent County caused by implementation of CSES,
including, but not limited to: degradation of service levels, unanswered
correspondence, slow processing time, failure to address many applications that
are included in Oakland County's system that are not present in CSES (e.g.,
imaging, electronic funds transfers, and integration with other law enforcement
and departmental management information systems); and
WHEREAS the CSES project team prepared an implementation plan without
consultation with the Sixth Circuit Court, Department of Management and Budget,
and Department of Information Technology; and
WHEREAS the Michigan State Friend of the Court Association recently took
unanimous actions to recommend that:
* CSES be made functional prior to its implementation in any other county;
and
* the operating and technical problems currently plaguing Kent County be
resolved prior to implementation in any other county.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners supports the position taken by the Friend of the Court
Association requiring that the State Court Administrative Office (SCAO) resolve
the operating and technical problems in the Child Support Enforcement System
(CSES) and correction of the Kent County situation prior to implementation in
Oakland County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that CSES operating and technical capabilities be
equal to or greater than the current computer system in place at the Oakland
County Friend of the Court prior to its implementation in Oakland County, that
all conversion costs be borne by the State of Michigan, and that no additional
staff be required after conversion applicable to the CSES computer system.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
supports the Friend of the Court Association's call for an immediate
performance audit by an auditor, selected by the Friend of the Court
Association, to determine if the CSES meets the needs of the public and the
Friends of the Court.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
strongly encourages the SCAO to consider the use of the existing computer
system in place at the Oakland County Friend of the Court in satisfaction of
the federal mandate and work cooperatively with the County's Friend of the
Court, Department of Information Technology, and Department of Management and
Budget towards the passing of the information from the County's existing system
to the state-wide Child Support Enforcement System.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to the

County's State Legislative Delegation, Michigan Association of Counties, State

FAITH AND CREDIT RESOLUTION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XII-G of this Board, the Finance and Personnel Committee
has reviewed Miscellaneous Resolution #95051 and finds:
1) Resolution #94249 authorized the issuance of drain bonds to be sold
in three series for an amount not to exceed $28,850,000.
2) Series 1994A was sold to the Michigan Municipal Bond Authority in
the amount of $21,135,000 and Series 1994B was sold publicly in the
amount of $2,750,000. Series 1994C was to be sold after
October, 1994, for an amount to be determined dependent upon
further grant commitments.
3) The Drain Commissioner has accepted United States Environmental
Protection Agency Grants totaling $13,908,698 on behalf of the
Bloomfield Village CSO Drainage District; reducing the total amount
of required bond indebtedness to $14,985,000.
4) Grant conditions stipulate that the local share cannot be funded by
the Michigan Municipal Bond Authority, State Revolving Loan Fund.
As a result, the State Revolving Fund, Series 1994A loan was
required to be reduced to $3,135,000. The proposed Series 1995C
bond issue
of $9,100,000 provides for the local match requirements and the
balance of the remaining project costs.

repaid at an interest rate not to exceed 8% for a period of 20

is 17.725% ($2,656,091), a reduction of $2,457,572 from the
original proposal.
7) The County's share of the assessment will be paid over the life of
the bonds and charged to the General Fund Non-Departmental account
titled "Road Commission - Drain Assessments". The County's annual
payment will be reduced by approximately $120,000. Therefore, no

the amount of $9,965,000 and Series 1994B was sold publicly in the

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #95061
BY: Commissioner Jeff Kingzett and Commissioner Thomas Law
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF FACILITIES MANAGEMENT/REAL ESTATE - SALE OF COUNTY OWNED
PROPERTY, SIDWELL #14-03-100-026, CITY OF AUBURN HILLS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, in Miscellaneous
Resolution #89261, authorized the siting of a Waste-to-Energy (WTE) incinerator
and Material Recycling Facility (MRF) on approximately 33 acres in the City of
Auburn Hills, identified as Tax Sidwell #14-03-100-026; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners has subsequently amended the County's
Solid Waste plan by deleting the WTE incinerator and the MRF from its Solid
Waste Plan; and
WHEREAS this 33 acres of land, formerly designated to hold these solid
waste facilities, is situated in the heart of a rapidly developing industrial
and technical region known as Automation Alley, and has been billed as the
economic engine that drives the Michigan economy; and
WHEREAS the value of this land is demonstrated by and enhanced by the
location of several nearby developments, including but not limited to the
General Motors Orion Assembly Plant, the Palace of Auburn Hills, the Guardian
Industries World Headquarters, the Pinnacle Corporate Park, and the Metro North
Technology Parks I and II, and others totalling more than two dozen major
employers; and
WHEREAS land immediately west of this county-owned land is being
developed as a Light Industrial Park with lot sizes of 5-10 acres each; and
WHEREAS if developed in a manner similar to the surrounding privately-
owned land, this parcel could easily yield hundreds of jobs and millions of
dollars of taxbase for the City of Auburn Hills, the County of Oakland and
other taxing jurisdictions.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the sale of county-owned property, identified as Tax
Sidwell #14-03-100-026.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
directs the Department of Facilities Management to initiate the steps necessary
to facilitate the sale of this land in accordance with Resolution #91090.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the final sale of this property is contingent
upon final approval by the Oakland County Board of Commissioners.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
