WHEREAS HB 5493 addresses the issue of a statutory seat for a county
planning commission member in counties that have planning commissions; and
WHEREAS HB 5493 addresses that same issue with counties that do not have
planning commissions, and adds language which provides a statutory seat to the
elected County Executive or his designee in a County organized under Act 139 of
the Public Acts of 1973, as amended (Act 139 counties) with a population of over
1,000,000, rather than a member or the chairperson of the regional planning
commission, which in Oakland County=s instance is SEMCOG; and
WHEREAS it is not in the best interests of Oakland County, to continue the
statutory designation of regional planning commission member for the following
reasons:
A. A large urban county of over 1 million people and more than 60
municipalities is fully capable of planning its own parks and
recreation programs.
B. The terms of office of a president or chair of a regional
planning commission are one-year terms beginning and ending in
June of each year which is disruptive to the Parks Commission,
whose other members are minimally appointed for three-year
terms and whose appointments run on a calendar year.
WHEREAS the appointment of the tenth member should reside with the Board of
Commissioners, and that the County Executive should not be required to sit as a
member of the Parks and Recreation Commission, nor should one member be singled
out to have a voting alternate representative.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
supports the language of updating of Board of Supervisors to Board of
Commissioners, and the removal of language which allows the regional planning
commission a membership on the Parks and Recreation Commission.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
supports the following change in Sec. 1, Item C of HB 5493 (H-1) to read as
follows:
The chairperson of the county planning commission or another member of the
county planning commission designated by the county planning commission,
and 7 members appointed by the county board of commissioners, not less
than 1 and not more than 3 of whom shall be members of the board of
commissioners. In a county that does not have a county planning
commissions, the chairperson of the regional planning commission shall
serve on the county parks and recreation commission if that person is a
resident of that county. If the chairperson of the regional planning
commission is not a resident of that county, then the COUNTY board OF
COMMISSIONERS shall, by a 2/3 vote, appoint a member of the regional
planning commission who is a resident of that county to serve on the
county parks and recreation commission. IN A COUNTY ORGANIZED UNDER ACT
NO. 139 OF THE PUBLIC ACTS OF 1973, BEING SECTION 45.55 TO 45.573 OF THE
MICHIGAN COMPILED LAWS, WITH AN ELECTED COUNTY EXECUTIVE AND A POPULATION
OF 1,000,000 OR MORE, THE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MAY APPOINT THE
ELECTED COUNTY EXECUTIVE TO SERVE ON THE COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION
COMMISSION AND THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS MAY APPOINT AN ALTERNATE FOR THE
ELECTED EXECUTIVE, WHO MAY PARTICIPATE IN THE MEETINGS OF THE PARKS AND

IN RE: HOUSE BILL 5586 (SUPPORT) SEC.758 OF GENERAL GOVERNMENT APPROPRIATIONS
BILL PRESERVATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE FUNDING FOR AREA AGENCIES ON AGING
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS under Federal law, Planning and Service Areas (PSA=S) administer
the Federal Older Americans Act and are areas which are defined by a geographic
boundary for the delivery of services to older individuals, and every PSA is
served by an administrative agency, Area Agency on Aging (AAA); and
WHEREAS under the Federal Older American=s Act, Michigan=s 14 PSA=S were
increased to 16, when AAA-Region 3, which included Barry, Calhoun, St. Joseph,
Branch and Kalamazoo Counties, divided into three distinct PSA=S; and
WHEREAS the increase in administrative costs of managing three PSA=S
instead of one will impact the funding distribution formula for every AAA in
Michigan; and
WHEREAS Sec. 758 of HB5586, states that:
(1) Funding shall not be reduced to any planning and service region due
to the establishment of the three area agencies on aging in the
region 3 area where 1 had previously existed.
(2) The total administrative funds allocated in fiscal year 1996-1997 to
the new area agencies on aging, being regions 3a, 3b, and 3c, shall
not exceed the total administrative dollars received by the former
region 3 unless paid for by the counties.
(3) If additional funds become available for distribution to area
agencies on aging, the 3 area agencies on aging established in
region 3 together shall not receive additional funding due to the
split, but shall receive the same share as would the former region 3
under the intrastate funding formula established by the office of
services to the aging; and
WHEREAS Oakland County=s Area Agency on Aging, Region 1-B, which serves
over 400,000 senior citizens, should not have its funding reduced by another
region=s decision to reapportion its service area.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby concur with the Sec. 758 of HB 5586, which protects the Planning and
Service Areas of the Area Agencies on Aging from negative financial impact
engendered by the expansion of the number of PSA=S within Michigan.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to
Oakland County=s Legislators, the Governor, the Area Agency on Aging, 1-B, the
Michigan Office of Services to the Aging, the Michigan Commission on Aging, the
