Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development=s McKinney Shelter Plus
Care Program has awarded Oakland County Community Mental Health HUD grant funds in the
total amount of $584,400, representing the maximum HUD obligation; and
WHEREAS Oakland County Community Mental Health has a significant unmet need for rental
subsidy assistance for persons with disabilities that are homeless or at risk of homelessness; and
WHEREAS this award is within 15% of the amount applied for of $584,400; and
WHEREAS acceptance of this grant will enable Oakland County Community Mental Health to
provide permanent affordable housing for 50 homeless adults with serious mental illness for a
five year period; and
WHEREAS this award will fund 20 units of rental assistance such that no consumer will have to
pay more than 30% of their adjusted gross income for shelter costs thus making housing truly
affordable; and

to provide support services to the occupants of the housing equal in value to the dollars of rental
assistance requested; and
WHEREAS Community Mental Health will fund it=s commitment with resources currently

organizations called the sponsor, and the sponsor will lease units in the private rental market
which are then leased to program participants; and

the organizations providing the housing specialists within the case management quadrant system,
and because the South quadrant is a Community Mental Health operated program and cannot act
as the sponsor, a current contractor will act as the non-profit sponsor for the South quadrant; and
WHEREAS the Shelter Plus Care rental assistance program will be administered by the Oakland
County Community Mental Health Housing Chief, in collaboration with the non-profit housing

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #97108
BY: Frank H. Millard, Jr., Commissioner, District #4
IN RE: AVIATION UNIT PROPOSAL
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Chiefs of Police Association has endorsed the proposal of
having an Aviation Unit in the Sheriff=s Department; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff=s Department is the largest law enforcement agency in Oakland County
and placing an Aviation Unit in the Sheriff=s Department is a reasonable expectation; and
WHEREAS an Aviation Unit, working in conjunction with ground patrol units, can be effective
in a variety of situations, such as:
1. Keeping fleeing cars in view so that pursuing police vehicles can slow down and follow
from a distance. It is impossible to escape in a ground vehicle once spotted by a helicopter. This
avoids the high speed pursuit with it=s resulting accidents and injuries.
2. Covering large areas quickly and coordinating ground units from above. Ground units
can be more effectively positioned from the air, thus reducing the number of units necessary to
secure a scene. Acting as an aerial command platform in the event of a major incident.
Overseeing crowd control of major events, such as the Woodward Dream Cruise, or during major
disturbances.
3. Conducting routine and preventive patrol over commercial, residential, and retail
shopping areas especially at night. Allow a greater number of building checks to be done in a
shorter period of time, freeing up the ground patrol units for other duties.
WHEREAS an Aviation Unit can be very useful in a non-law enforcement capacity, such as
assisting the Drain Commission in the observation of drains, Community and Economic
Development in the viewing of proposed property locations for future businesses, Road
Commission for aerial viewing of various roads and intersections, air medical evacuation of

injured individuals; and
WHEREAS the time has come for an Aviation Unit for Oakland County, as one of the largest
and most affluent counties in the State of Michigan, and the United States; and
WHEREAS law enforcement in Oakland County could be greatly enhanced with the addition of
an Aviation Unit to assist all law enforcement agencies within this jurisdiction.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
approves the concept of an Aviation Unit for County wide law enforcement purposes and
requests the Sheriff and County Executive to prepare a budgetary impact of such a unit which
shall be returned to the Board of Commissioners by July 1, 1997.

foregoing resolution.

WHEREAS Act 511 of the Public Acts of 1988, the Community Corrections Act, created an

beginning to experience the burdens and problems associated with keeping more offenders in
local facilities; and

alternatives to incarceration that have proven to be cost effective, safe for the public, and
effective in punishing as well as rehabilitating the offenders.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does
hereby encourage the State Legislature and Governor Engler to support and sign a corrections

IN RE: GAMING CASINOS IN OAKLAND COUNTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County, with its more than $35 Billion SEV, has been described as
Aengine which runs the economy of the State of Michigan@, and Oakland County has exceeded
National and State measurements in virtually every category of business and community growth
and vitality; and
WHEREAS while Oakland County=s population is expected to grow over 18% between 1995
and 2020, and it is estimated that $2.5 billion in new construction will occur in 1997 and, 30% of
all new incorporations in the State of Michigan occur in Oakland County; the quality of life in
Oakland County is still very representative of traditional Midwestern values, which all combine
to provide Oakland County=s citizens with a standard of living which is amongst the best in the
world; and
WHEREAS currently Windsor, Canada has two casinos and the City of Detroit is engaged in
developing three new casinos, all which will be within 50 miles of Oakland County; and
WHEREAS a common motivation of municipalities to accept or pursue the establishment of
casinos has been a demonstrated need for jobs and economic development within the
municipality, a circumstance which does not correspond with Oakland County=s prosperous
economy and booming economic outlook; and
WHEREAS casinos have proven to bring with their dubious benefits, some of the following
social ills: 40% increase in gambling addiction, 60% increase in bankruptcies and bad check
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 12, 1997
242
writing, a 287% increase in calls to the Council of Compulsive Gambling; and
WHEREAS peculiar circumstance, as result of a lawsuit settlement which included a land swap
between property located in Sault Ste. Marie and property located in Auburn Hills, gives the Bay
Mills Tribe potential opportunity to build and operate casinos in Oakland County; a prospect
which the Governor and several Oakland County Legislators oppose as a scheme to circumvent
the State=s authority to prevent tribes from opening off-reservation casinos.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board urgently requests the support of the
Governor and the State Legislature in disallowing the establishment of the proposed Bay Mills
gaming casino in Auburn Hills, Michigan, within Oakland County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this resolution be sent to the Governor, all
Michigan U.S. Congressman, all Oakland County State Legislators, the Michigan Association of
Counties, the Oakland County Chapter of the Michigan Municipal League, Michigan Township
Association, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Secretary of the Interior and Oakland County=s
