To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS matters of environmental protection and remediation are a high
priority responsibility of every level of government; and
WHEREAS efforts to protect our surface and groundwater quality are of
extreme importance to all of our citizens; and
WHEREAS despite the efforts of the Oakland County Drain Commissioner in

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The General Government Committee, having reviewed the above-referenced

Commissioners the resolution be adopted as amended.
Amend the NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED paragraph #1 to read as follows:

enhanced comprehensive Food Handling Safety and Education Program for
food service personnel in Oakland County.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #99135
BY: Commissioners Eric Coleman, District #21; Frank H. Millard, Jr., District #4
IN RE: HEALTH DIVISION - FOOD HANDLING POLICY AND EDUCATION PROGRAM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS food-borne illness kills over 10,000 people each year. Many of
these food-borne outbreaks originate in food service operations. According to
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as many as 40% are the result of poor
hand washing and cross-contamination; and
WHEREAS hand-transmission is a critical factor in the spread of bacteria,
pathogens and viruses which cause disease and food-borne illness. While everyone
is vulnerable, over one-third of the population is at high risk, including the
elderly, young children, pregnant women, and those with compromised immune
systems (including those with the common cold or a seasonal flu); and
WHEREAS the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) revised Food Code of 1997
recommends the implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point
(HACCP) guidelines. The HAACP is a prevention-based food safety system that is
designed to prevent the occurrence of potential food safety problems and stresses
proper hand washing and use of utensils or gloves for working with ready-to-eat
foods; and
WHEREAS the FDA is recommending the implementation of HACCP in food
establishments because it is a system of preventive controls that is the most
effective and efficient way to ensure that food products are safe. A HACCP
system clearly identifies the food establishment as the final party responsible
for ensuring the safety of the food it produces; and
WHEREAS a good education and training program for food handling and
sanitation is key to successful HAACP implementation. Critical in any food
establishment is ongoing personnel training, including management. Personnel
training should instill and nurture an understanding of where potential problems
exist and appropriate food handling practices.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does hereby request the Oakland County Department of Human Services/Health
Division to amend Article IV of the Sanitation Code for Oakland County to include
the following:
1. A requirement that the Health Division develop and implement a
comprehensive Food Handling Safety and Education Program for food
service personnel in Oakland County.
2. A requirement that prior to receiving a permit to operate a new
food service business in Oakland County each business applicant
shall have at least one (1) employee/staff member per food service
business site who has successfully completed a food service manager
certification program offered by the Oakland County Health
Division, the Michigan Restaurant Association, the Michigan
Department of Agriculture or successor agency or a food service
manager certification program offered through a Michigan community
college, college or university that meets Michigan criteria for
food service manager certification.
3. A requirement that within five (5) years of adoption of a revised
Article IV of the Oakland County Sanitary Code, all food service
Commissioners Minutes Continued. June 10, 1999
234
businesses operating within Oakland County shall be required to
have at least one (1) employee/staff member per business site who
has successfully completed a food service manager certification
program offered by the Health Division, the Michigan Restaurant
Association, the Michigan Department of Agriculture or successor
agency or a food service manager certification program offered
through a Michigan community college, college or university that
meets Michigan criteria for food service manager certification.
4. A requirement that any employee/staff member of a food service
business operating in Oakland County that handles food or unsealed
food container(s) should wear hair coverings and shall minimize
bare-hand contact with ready-to-eat foods by the use of disposable
gloves, deli tissue, suitable utensils or dispensing equipment,
except when washing fruits and vegetables, or as otherwise
authorized by State law or rules.
5. A requirement that each food service business operating in
Oakland County incorporate verbal and visual (e.g. signs, printed
procedures, etc.) reminders to employees/staff members that
reinforces the importance of proper hand washing and emphasizes to
food handlers that disposable gloves or other sanitary alternatives
are not a replacement for proper hand washing. The use of
utensils, including deli tissues, spatulas, tongs, or single-use
gloves shall be preceded by thorough hand washing. Hands should be
washed and disposable gloves should be discarded after engaging in
any activities that may contaminate hands and/or gloves. Examples
include the following:
A. After touching bare human body parts.
B. After using the restroom.
C. After handling animals.
D. After coughing, sneezing, using a tissue, using tobacco,
eating, or drinking.
E. After handling soiled equipment or utensils.
F. Before food preparation.
G. When switching between raw foods and ready-to-eat foods.
H. After handling money.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners shall
create one (1) Senior Public Health Sanitarian position within the
Health Division=s Environmental Health Services to implement and conduct the
comprehensive food handling safety and education program.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does
hereby request the Oakland County Health Division to conduct a public hearing
regarding revisions to Article IV and to present recommendations for amending
Article IV of the Oakland County Sanitary Code and implementation of a
comprehensive Food Handling Safety and Education Program to the Board of
Commissioners within ninety (90) days.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: UNFUNDED STATE MANDATES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County has been inundated over the last several years with
unfunded mandates imposed by State laws and regulations; and
WHEREAS the effect of these unfunded mandates is the diversion of local tax
revenues away from the purpose for which they were authorized by Oakland County
voters in order to pay for purposes which State legislators and administrators
have decided to impose upon Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the Headlee Amendment to the Michigan Constitution expresses that
it is the will of the people of Michigan that local units of government,
including counties, will not be burdened with unfunded mandates imposed by State
statutes and regulations; and
WHEREAS the underlying purpose, prescribed by the people of Michigan,
through the Headlee Amendment, was to make State government financially
responsible for obligations which it imposes on local units of government through
State statutes and regulations; and
WHEREAS State government has totally ignored its financial responsibilities
under the Headlee Amendment and, in so doing, has acted in a constitutionally
unlawful manner; and
WHEREAS respect for the Michigan Constitution is a core responsibility of
all levels of government, not the least of which includes State government.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
authorizes and directs the civil counsel for the County shall institute legal
proceedings appropriate to pursuing remedy for the continuing violations by State
government of the financial obligations imposed upon it by the Headlee Amendment,
including the recoupment of attorney fees for such proceedings, as permitted
under the Headlee Amendment.

IN RE: IMPLEMENTATION OF UNFUNDED STATE AND FEDERAL MANDATES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the State of Michigan and the Federal Government has
systematically, over time, shifted the responsibility for the funding of certain
programs to the local level by passing laws requiring the locals to implement
such programs; and
WHEREAS in recognition of this problem and after passage of several
resolutions protesting unfunded mandates, the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners passed Miscellaneous Resolution #95089, which requires
Oakland County to bill the State for the shortfall in funding the County
experienced in the event of an unfunded mandate; and
WHEREAS the State of Michigan has never responded to such billings; and
WHEREAS unfunded mandates continue to savage the resources of
Oakland County government, as evidenced in part by the following:
1. Information Technology - $693,000 in one-time costs to implement
Friend of the Court-related mandates.
2. Information Technology and Equalization - $646,000 in setup costs
and $45,000 in increased annual costs to implement Proposal A.
3. Public Health - $878,000 in annual cost sharing and childhood
immunization registry shortfalls.
4. Prosecutor and Clerk - $503,000 in annual cost related to
implementation of the requirements of the Community Domestic
Relations Act.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
hereby directs that no Oakland County department may implement a State or

Board of Commissioners in accordance with the General Appropriations Act and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this resolution are sent to
all Federal and State legislators from Oakland County and to the County=s State
