Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the FCC has mandated that all cellular phones must have the
capability of automatic location identification; and

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

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #98152
BY: Commissioner Shelley Taub, District #12; Commissioner Donn L. Wolf,
District #19
IN RE: SUPPORT THE AMERICAN ECONOMY PROTECTION ACT OF 1998
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS through the adoption of Miscellaneous Resolution #97227, the
Oakland County Board of Commissioners urged the Federal government not to
negotiate any Treaty in Kyoto, Japan which would:
(A) mandate new commitments to limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions
for the United States, unless the protocol or other agreement also
mandates new specific scheduled commitments to limit or reduce
greenhouse gas emissions for developing countries within the same
compliance period, or
(B) result in job loss or serious harm to the economy of Oakland County,
the State of Michigan and the United States; and
WHEREAS Miscellaneous Resolution #97227 further resolved that: any
protocol to, or other agreement regarding, the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change of 1992, signed by the United States at negotiations
in Kyoto in December 1997, or thereafter, should:
(1) be voluntary as much as possible;
(2) include all nations, developed and developing, under comparable
criteria and within the same compliance period;
(3) assist developing nations in growing economically while increasing
energy efficiency; and
WHEREAS Miscellaneous Resolution #97227 memorialized the members of the
United States Senate not to consent to any protocol or agreement regarding the
Global Climate Change, unless said protocol or agreement was:
(I.) accompanied by an analysis of the detailed explanation of any
legislation or regulatory actions that would be required to
implement the protocol or agreement; and
(II.) accompanied by an analysis of the detailed financial costs and other
impacts on the economy of the United States that would be incurred
by implementation of the protocol or agreement; and
WHEREAS along with a growing body of evidence from economic studies which
indicate that any U.S. effort to significantly limit greenhouse gas emissions in
a short timeframe will slow economic growth, cost hundreds of thousands of jobs
in Oakland County and throughout the United States, comes a strong opposition of
U.S. citizens and businesses to such mandatory constraints on fossil fuel use
which would raise the monthly cost to consumers for electricity, heating and
cooling bills by more than 50%, and it is projected that the residents of Oakland
County could experience a gasoline price increase of $0.50 per gallon; and
WHEREAS in the face of such growing opposition, President Clinton and his
appointees at the Environmental Protection Agency, have been unable to garner the
necessary 2/3 vote of the Senate to adopt this ill-advised policy on climate
control, and have determined to force Kyoto-level emission reduction standards on
all of the states, thus circumventing the Senate by abridgement of the United
States Constitution; and
WHEREAS Congressman Joe Knollenberg has introduced House Resolution 3807,
(accompanied by Senator Ashcroft=s Senate Bill 2019) known as the American
Economy Protection Act of 1998, to prohibit the use of Federal funds for a
stealth implementation of the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 11, 1998
272
Convention on Climate Change, unless or until the Senate has given its advice and
consent on ratification of the Protocol; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners finds itself in the most
distressing position of having to address its Federal elected officials to take
action to insure that the President and the Environmental Protection Agency do
not circumvent the U.S. Constitution in an action more designed to enlarge their
power and control than to protect wildflowers and songbirds.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
strongly reiterates its position in Miscellaneous Resolution #97227, that the
United States should not agree to any international global climate proposals
which are not justified by sound scientific and economic policies.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does
hereby support THE AMERICAN ECONOMY PROTECTION ACT OF 1998, to protect not only
our County=s economy, but our Constitutional process.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the
President of the United States, the Vice President of the United States, Senator
Spencer Abraham, Senator Carl Levin, United States House of Representatives -
Congressmen Joseph Knollenberg, Sander Levin, Dale Kildee, James Barcia,

IN RE: REDUCTION OF OAKLAND COUNTY====S MILLAGE RATE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County has experienced a growth in tax revenues resulting
from a continually expanding industrial, commercial and residential assessment
base; and
WHEREAS assessed valuation has grown an impressive 38% over the last five
years; and
WHEREAS the County General Fund has ended each year since 1994 with a
surplus of several million dollars; and
WHEREAS the Fiscal Services Department of the County has projected a $3.2
million dollar surplus for Fiscal Year 1997-1998; and
WHEREAS Oakland County began 1997 with an unreserved fund balance of $166.7
million, providing a substantial buffer against unanticipated budgetary
constraints, poor economic conditions, and/or Federal and State revenue cutbacks;
and
WHEREAS the County has a proven record of sound financial management
augmented by increasing property tax revenues and a substantial unreserved
Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund Balance; and
WHEREAS Moody=s and Standard and Poors investment rating services believe
the County=s financial position will remain favorable; they both have assigned a
AAA rating to the County=s outstanding unlimited general obligation bonds, which
is the highest rating given for bonds; and
WHEREAS the University of Michigan Institute of Labor and Industrial
Relations forecasts that the Oakland County economy will continue to expand over
the next two years; and
WHEREAS low tax rates encourage business growth and expansion and increases
in residential construction and personal income; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has a tremendously strong financial position and is
able to lower its millage rate while maintaining the outstanding level of service
County residents require.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
recommend that the millage rate be lowered from 4.3505 to 4.19 mills.
