IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS (OPPOSES) SENATE BILLS 825,826 and 827 - PROPOSED
CHANGES TO THE SENTENCING GUIDELINES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Senate Bills 825, 826 and 827 propose to provide new sentencing
guidelines, which include the provision that felons with Sentencing Guideline
ranges of 0-18 months or less shall not be allowed to be sentenced to prison; and
WHEREAS this law, while consistent with the current goals established by
the Oakland County Community Corrections Advisory Board in reducing, if not
eliminating, the admission to prison of non-assaultive short-term felons, it will
indeed have an impact on our jail population; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Department of Corrections estimates that, statewide,
6% of these felons, who are currently sentenced to prison, represent
approximately 821 prisoners per year and, therefore, Oakland County=s share will
be significant; and
WHEREAS these same offenders use approximately 400 prison beds annually and
their exclusion from prison will represent a significant savings to the State
and, to some extent, an unfunded mandate to the Counties; and
WHEREAS given the fact that judges typically have sentenced these felons to
incarceration, there is concern that the inability to sentence to prison will
result in nearly an equal number of sentences to our local jails in lieu of
prison time; and
WHEREAS currently Oakland County jail space is at a premium; and
WHEREAS Oakland County feels it is important for the Sentencing Guideline
Commission and the Legislature to understand that sufficient resources must be
available for offenders who will be required to participate in local programs
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 2, 1998
118
rather than be in prison, and that those resources must be properly targeted to
serve the sanctioning and service needs of this displaced offender population.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
opposes the proposed Sentencing Guidelines as set forth in Senate Bills 825, 826
and 827 until such time as the fiscal recommendations have been analyzed and
appropriate funding mechanisms added to assist local units of government in
appropriating correctional dollars to adequately handle additional needs created
by these Senate Bills.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the
Michigan Association of Counties; the Community Corrections Advisory Boards of
the other 82 counties; State Representatives James R. McNutt, James McBryde,

ANALYST

Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS a high volume of Substance Abuse Assessments has resulted in an

Abuse; and
WHEREAS this workload is associated with an increased volume of contracts
related to treatment intervention, an increase in number of HIV Regional
Trainings, scheduling of clients for assessments, and the preparation and
processing of related paperwork; and
WHEREAS the assessment appointments are currently backlogged by three
weeks; and
WHEREAS the creation of one (1) SR Substance Abuse Analyst would decrease
the waiting period for assessments; and
WHEREAS the reclassification of one (1) GF/GP Clerk III to Office Leader
would provide guidance and assistance with total office operations; and
WHEREAS the reclassification of one (1) SR Typist II to Clerk III would
ensure more timely processing of complex documents such as the increased number
of contracts; and
WHEREAS the upgrade of two (2) SR Typists II from PTNE to FTE will provide
additional staff resources for scheduling clients, typing and processing of
paperwork related to assessments and assist in the registration and scheduling
coordination related to the increased number of HIV Regional Trainings; and
WHEREAS funds are available within the Substance Abuse Grant to fund the
additional position and changes to the SR positions.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
approves the following personnel actions in the Health Division/Office of
Substance Abuse:
- Creation of one(1) SR Substance Abuse Analyst

WHEREAS many local governmental units within Oakland County have sought the
County=s assistance in coordinating a large scale treatment program to help
suppress the gypsy moth infestation in which the local units chose to
participate; and
WHEREAS the County has chosen to assist qualifying local units by
participating in a State-wide treatment program developed by the Michigan
Department of Agriculture (MDA); and
WHEREAS the MDA program offers the expertise and experience of the MDA in
suppressing the gypsy moth infestation plus the possibility of Federal and/or
State cost sharing of program expenses through a State grant entitled the

Program ; and
WHEREAS the County provides local units an opportunity to join this County-
wide program and realize economies of scale, cost savings, and possible cost
sharing through the MDA grant that local units could not achieve independently;
and
WHEREAS the County=s traditional practice of allocating administrative
costs for the operation of the Gypsy Moth Suppression Program has become a
significant barrier to local government=s use of the County as a vehicle for
spraying; realistically, the County cannot continue to expect reimbursement of
administrative expenses for this Program and ensure that this menace is addressed
properly throughout the County; and
WHEREAS with the closing of the 1997 Fiscal Year, the County Executive
recommended and the Board of Commissioners approved a General Fund Equity
Designation of $55,000 for purposes of defraying the administrative expenses of
the 1998 Gypsy Moth Suppression Program; and
WHEREAS the 1998 Program is a cooperative effort between the County and
local units which provides that specifically designated areas of qualified
forested municipal acreage will be aerially sprayed with an MDA selected
insecticide by an MDA qualified and approved agricultural pesticide spray
contractor in an attempt to minimize municipal tree damage; and
WHEREAS the Townships of Brandon, Highland, Springfield and White Lake, the
Cities of Bloomfield Hills, Novi, Orchard Lake Village and Wixom, the Village of
Holly, as well as, Camp Dearborn/Mystic Creek and Kensington Metro Park have
submitted acreage for the 1998 Program; and
WHEREAS the County Gypsy Moth Suppression Program Coordinator has actively
sought and obtained training in the use of the County=s Geographic Information
System (GIS) program, ArcView, and has begun to create information, both current
and historical, on the gypsy moth infestations in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the centralization of information using the County=s GIS program
will facilitate the eradication of pockets of infestation, notification of
affected property owners, and spraying efforts; and
WHEREAS the attached 1998 Gypsy Moth Suppression Program Municipal
Participation Agreement is recommended by the County Executive and submitted for
review and approval by the Board of Commissioners.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
authorizes the execution of the attached Municipality Participation Agreement -
1998 Oakland County Gypsy Moth Suppression Program for each of the above named
municipalities who meet the State=s qualification criteria for participation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all County administrative expenses associated

WHEREAS the lives of several hundred individuals and their families
continue to be adversely affected by this conflict; and
WHEREAS the continued newspaper conflict, and people=s reaction to it, have
resulted in a reduction in public knowledge of governmental affairs, which limits
civil discourse on public policy issues; and
WHEREAS the regional economy has also been adversely affected by the
conflict as many retail and service companies have declined to advertise in the
Detroit newspapers, thus reducing their profitability; and
WHEREAS this conflict has caused an unseemly and divisive confrontation
which has negatively impacted broad and diverse aspects of our community; and
WHEREAS the Religious Leaders for Justice at the Detroit Newspapers has
called for a regional legislative summit to resolve this conflict, and has asked
for our support of their effort; and
WHEREAS such a summit has been scheduled for May 15, 1998, at the
Southfield Civic Center.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
supports the concept of a regional legislative summit, sponsored by the Religious
Leaders for Justice at the Detroit Newspapers, to which the management of the
Detroit Newspapers and the collective bargaining units will be invited, with
attention focused on a concerted effort to bring about a prompt, fair and lasting
resolution to this conflict.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
