WHEREAS this legislation requires that Federal agencies consider and disclose the benefits, as

requiring Federal agencies to explain any legal impediment or other factor hindering them from
issuing cost-effective rules and this act formalizes the role of the Office of Management and

WHEREAS within two miles of Fairlawn Center, Oakland County maintains a juvenile detention
facility for Oakland County youth, and the addition of another for out-county youth, when
coupled with the Oakland County jail, which is in even closer proximity, over-saturates the retail
commercial enterprises in the immediate vicinity with correctional facilities; and
WHEREAS with the possible closing of the Clinton Valley Center, Oakland County is in
desperate need of a facility to treat persons with mental illness, a use for which Fairlawn Center
was designed, and in fact, was expanded with the financial donations of Oakand County citizens.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
urges the State Legislature to disallow the Family Independence Agency=s selection of the
Fairlawn Center in Pontiac as a site for an FIA Adjudicated Youth Facility until such time as the
State has conducted public hearings, allowing both the citizens and the local governments to be
heard on this prison site location.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners once again implores the State
of Michigan to allow the Oakland County Community Mental Health Board to utilize the
Fairlawn Center as a desperately needed treatment facility for persons with mental illness.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to all Oakland County
Legislators, the State Director of Community Health, the Oakland County FIA Board and to the
county's legislative agents.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
