MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #98103
BY: Commissioners Shelley Taub, Ruth Johnson, Lawrence Obrecht, Kay Schmid,
Donald Jensen and Dennis N. Powers
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.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Oakland County=s United States legislators be
urged to take all necessary action to insure local land use planning authority is
maintained by the local planning and zoning entities of every community in
Oakland County and throughout the Nation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be conveyed to
Oakland County=s United States legislators, Michigan Association of Counties,
Michigan Township Association, National Association of Counties Organization and
all local units of government in Oakland County.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

CENTER (DISC) DIVISION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Digital Information Service Center (DISC) is currently a unit

IN RE: AUTHORIZATION TO IMPLEMENT A HEALTH EMERGENCY LIAISON PROGRAM (HELP) ON
THE COUNTY COMPLEX USING AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATORS
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
United States and claims more than 100,000 lives each year largely because life-
saving treatment - an electrical shock to the heart known as defibrillation -
does not reach victims within the first few critical minutes; and
WHEREAS the likelihood of successful resuscitation decreases by
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
WHEREAS CPR is effective for temporarily maintaining oxygenation of the
blood and blood flow to the brain, early defibrillation is recognized as the only
effective method of restoring normal cardiac rhythm and resuscitating the patient
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
appropriate training; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 21, 1998
236
WHEREAS in the interest of service to the public and our employees, such
equipment could be strategically located so that at the time of a suspected
cardiac emergency, the equipment and the trained personnel could respond and
administer emergency treatment, as needed, until such time as 911 Emergency
Medical Technicians arrive.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners,
through the Oakland County Executive, supports the implementation of an emergency
cardiac support response capability utilizing Automated External Defibrillators
on County Government property.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Sheriff Deputies assigned to patrol the
County Service Center Complex be provided with Automated External Defibrillator
equipment and training.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that other County personnel may be trained to
operate Automated External Defibrillators deployed in selected County buildings.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County of Oakland shall indemnify County
employees who respond to suspected cardiac emergencies and operate Automated
External Defibrillators in good faith and within the limits of their training.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes
an amount not to exceed $26,000 for equipment and training to the Oakland County
Executive to implement an emergency cardiac support response capability utilizing
Automated External Defibrillators on the County Service Center Complex.

IN RE: OBJECTION TO CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF HOUSE BILL 5653, IMPLEMENTATION OF
UNIVERSAL EMERGENCY NUMBER SERVICE SYSTEM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the FCC has mandated that all cellular phones must have the
capability of automatic location identification; and
WHEREAS in response to this Federal mandate, House Bill 5653 creates the
State Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) emergency telephone fund to receive
and disburse funds, upon appropriation, as provided in House Bill 5653; and
WHEREAS Section 408 of House Bill 5653 provides that a CMRS supplier shall
include a service charge of $.65 per month for each CMRS connection that has a
billing address in the State, the money to be deposited in a CMRS emergency fund
and the CMRS supplier shall retain 1% of the total charges collected to cover the
costs of billing and collection; and
WHEREAS Section 409 of the act provides for the distribution of funds, as
follows:

review expenditures under the Act, but does not include representation by the
