million others are injured in alcohol-related traffic crashes in the United
States. In 1996, 3,700 people were killed in alcohol-related traffic crashes
involving Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) levels below .10%; and
WHEREAS over 80% of drivers involved in fatal crashes with positive BACs
had levels exceeding .08%. The fatality risk for drivers involved in vehicle
crashes with BACs between .05 and .09 is over 11 times greater than for drivers
with a zero BAC; and
WHEREAS in the United States, drivers with BAC levels between .08 and .09
percent kill an estimated 1,000 people per year. In Michigan, last year, alcohol
was involved in 36% of the fatal car crashes - killing over 500 people; and
WHEREAS presently, 34 states and the District of Columbia define drunk
driving at the .10% BAC level - the most lenient definition of drunk driving in
the industrialized world. Most industrialized nations have adopted .08 or .05
BAC as their standard for drunk driving, including Italy, France, England,
Ireland and Germany which are renowned for their production of beer and wine; and
WHEREAS the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched a
campaign to encourage states to reduce their Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) standard
for automatic Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) conviction to 0.08%. It is
estimated that if every state adopted .08 BAC laws, 500 to 600 lives would be
saved each year; and
WHEREAS following overwhelming support, the United States Congress passed
Federal legislation called the Safe and Sober Streets Act of 1997 (Senate 412 and
House Resolution 981) which strongly urges all states to lower the legal
definition of drunk driving to a .08 BAC by Fiscal Year 2001; and
WHEREAS thirteen states and Canada have already adopted Blood Alcohol
Content (BAC) standards of 0.08%: Alabama, California, Florida, Hawaii, Kansas,
Maine, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and
Virginia.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
supports lowering the legal definition of drunk driving from the present .10% to
.08% Blood Alcohol Concentration in the State of Michigan.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urge
the Michigan legislature to enact legislation to define an individual who has an
alcohol concentration level of 0.08 percent or greater as being intoxicated while
operating a motor vehicle in the State of Michigan.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all State
legislators from Oakland County, and to the County=s State legislative liaison,
the Michigan Association of Counties, the Michigan Townships Association, the
Michigan Municipal League, all other counties in this state, and to all Oakland
County municipalities.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

BY: General Government Committee, Nancy Dingeldey, Chairperson
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:
The General Government Committee, having met on April 6, 1998, recommends
that the above-titled resolution be adopted with amendments as follows:
Amend the title:
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #98069 - BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS (OPPOSES)
SENATE BILLS 825, 826 and 827 - OPPOSITION TO THE ENACTMENT OF PROPOSED
CHANGES TO THE SENTENCING GUIDELINES UNTIL FISCAL IMPACTS ARE DEFINED
Amend the first WHEREAS paragraph:
WHEREAS Senate Bills 825, 826 and 827 propose to provide THE 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
Amend the NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED paragraph:
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 IMPLICATIONS 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.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move
acceptance of the foregoing report.

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
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 23, 1998
144
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
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,
Michael J. Goschka; State Senators Bill Schuette and John Cisky; and the
Honorable Governor of the State of Michigan, John Engler.

WHEREAS Corporation Counsel has experienced a sharp increase in workload
due to departmental requests for assistance; and
WHEREAS these requests are due mainly to the increased complexity of

CORPORATION COUNSEL POSITIONS IN THE CORPORATION COUNSEL DIVISION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XII-F of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed
the above-referenced resolution and finds:
1. As a result of the increased complexity of government, additional
regulations and legislative mandates affecting the County,
Corporation Counsel has experienced a marked increase in requests
for legal support. The number of lawsuits, open and pending, has
increased 20% and assistance pertaining to opinions, research,
preparation and review of contracts has increased more than 127%
since 1995.
2. Both the Department of Information Technology and the Drain
Commission have requested designated staff due to the complexity of
their specializations. These departments have indicated they are
willing to provide revenue to offset the cost of this staff.
3. This resolution authorizes the creation of three Senior Corporation
Counsel positions to support the increased number of lawsuits and
departmental requests for assistance.
4. A reduction in outside legal expense is expected in the Liability
and Insurance Fund due to a decrease in the use of outside counsel.
This reduction will be recognized in future rate adjustments.
5. Additional office space to accommodate the new positions will be
made available through the proposed relocation of the Corporation
Counsel offices to the third floor of the west wing.
6. The following budget amendment is recommended:

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #98038
BY: Commissioners Ruth Johnson, District #1 and Dennis Powers, District #10
IN RE: SUPPORT OF HOUSE BILL 5284, REGARDING FREE FLOW OF SOLID WASTE AMONG
MICHIGAN COUNTIES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the management of solid waste in the State of Michigan, under
existing Act 451, restricts the free market in serving residents and businesses
by limiting the free flow of waste for communities within the State of Michigan;
and
WHEREAS the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Michigan counties may not
impose restrictions upon the free flow of waste from out of state and out of
country sources, although Michigan residents and businesses are not afforded the
same benefit within Michigan; and
WHEREAS this current law, also completely eliminates a competitive market
for Michigan citizens while out of state/out of county disposal in Michigan
enjoys free flow/free market conditions; and
WHEREAS the net result of these factors is that while the waste stream
disposal from Michigan residents and businesses is restricted, Michigan landfill
capacity is being heavily utilized by out of state and out of country waste -
more than 12% of all waste disposed of in Michigan is currently being imported,
while this capacity is not widely available to all Michigan citizens and
businesses; and
WHEREAS these factors result in the possible forced sitings of landfills in
communities within the State of Michigan and increased costs for Michigan
residents; and
WHEREAS House Bill 5284 would address these problems by establishing a free
market system, allowing local communities to be more responsive to their
individual waste disposal needs, as well as allowing a free competitive market to
Michigan residents and businesses, reducing the need for forced landfill sitings.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby support the enactment of Michigan House Bill 5284.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to all State
legislators from Oakland County, and to the County=s State legislative liaison,
the Michigan Association of Counties, the Michigan Townships Association, the
Michigan Municipal League, all other counties in this State, and to all Oakland
County municipalities.

Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the gypsy moth infestation presents the potential for immense

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
1998 Michigan Department of Agriculture Cooperative Gypsy Moth Suppression
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

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS as many as 5,000 citizens and employees enter the County Complex on
a daily basis, and this number continues to grow; and
WHEREAS sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death in the

saving treatment - an electrical shock to the heart known as defibrillation -
does not reach victims within the first few critical minutes; and

approximately ten percent with each minute following sudden cardiac arrest; and
WHEREAS 30% of the requests for emergency medical services from the County
Service Center over the last three years were reported as cardiac related; and

following cardiac arrest from ventricular fibrillation (VF); and
WHEREAS the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) is becoming the
standard of medical care; and
WHEREAS as the current generation of Automated External Defibrillators are
compact, self-contained, reliable, lightweight, safe and easy to operate with

IN RE: OPPOSITION TO FCC CONTRAVENTION OF LOCAL LAND USE PLANNING
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS amidst the pledges from Federal elected officials to reduce the
size and intrusiveness of government, the Federal bureaucratic regulators seek to
widen their span of control by unilateral determinations of ambient air quality,
water pressure in our toilets, attacks on sports utility vehicles, and now the
preemption of local authority in making zoning decisions about the placement of
broadcast towers; and
WHEREAS the Federal Communications Commission was so successful in usurping
local decision-making on the placement of cellphone towers, they are further
abridging all local zoning authority for the siting of broadcast towers for
digital television transmission; and
WHEREAS the FCC, upon petition of the broadcast industry, has determined
that in order to assure an accelerated Digital Television (DTV) implementation
schedule, local review is drastically curtailed, and reduced to a rubber stamp
which says YES , as thousands of 1000 feet high towers are erected on our local
landscape from sea to shining sea; and
WHEREAS the National Association of Counties has prioritized the
maintenance of local government authority over telecommunications policy on
issues including public rights-of-way and zoning, and we join them in fighting
for our state=s and citizens= rights.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
stands firmly in support of NACo=s advocacy for legislative and administrative
actions which maintain local government authority over telecommunications policy
on issues of public rights-of-way and zoning.
