MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #00211
BY: Public Services Committee, Frank H. Millard, Chairperson
IN RE: SHERIFF DEPARTMENT – CREATION OF AVIATION UNIT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Sheriff is requesting the creation of an Aviation Unit
within the Patrol Services Division of the Sheriff’s Department; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Chiefs of Police Association has endorsed the
proposal of having an Aviation Unit in the Sheriff’s Department; and
WHEREAS Oakland County’s Business Round Table through its Quality of
Life Committee, fully supports a helicopter in Oakland County and has made
this a priority for Law Enforcement the last two years; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff’s Department is the largest law enforcement agency
in Oakland County and placing an Aviation Unit in the Sheriff’s Department is
a reasonable expectation; and
WHEREAS an Aviation Unit, working in conjunction with ground patrol
units, can be effective in a variety of situations, including but not
limited to:
1. Covering large areas quickly and coordinating ground units from
above. Ground units can be more effectively positioned from the
air, thus reducing the number of units necessary to secure a
scene. Acting as an aerial command platform in the event of a
major incident. Overseeing crowd control of major events, such as
the Woodward Dream Cruise, or during major disturbances;
2. Situational ground searches including looking for criminal
suspects and lost children;
3. Conducting routine and preventive patrol over commercial,
residential, and retail shopping areas especially at night. Allow
a greater number of building checks to be done in a shorter period
of time, freeing up the ground patrol units for other duties;
4. Keeping fleeing cars in view so that pursuing police vehicles can
slow down and follow from a distance. It is impossible to escape
in a ground vehicle once spotted by a helicopter. This avoids the
high speed pursuit with its resulting accidents and injuries; and
WHEREAS the time has come for an Aviation Unit for Oakland County, as
one of the largest and most affluent counties in the State of Michigan, and
the United States; and
WHEREAS law enforcement in Oakland County would be greatly enhanced with
the addition of an Aviation Unit to assist all law enforcement agencies within
this jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS the Unit will operate with the purchase of one (1) helicopter,
operating costs and the creation of two (2) new positions the first year; and
WHEREAS after the first year of operation and analysis, the purchase of
a second helicopter and the addition of two (2) more staff will be necessary
to maintain and operate an aviation unit within the Sheriff’s Department; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 24, 2000
483
WHEREAS the Sheriff is proposing that the funding for this proposal come
from the estimated savings of the privatization of the Food Service Operations
within the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the creation of an Aviation Unit in the Patrol
Services Division of the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the purchase of one (1) helicopter and
operating costs be included within this unit, with the understanding that an
additional helicopter and staff will be created at a later date.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that one (1) GF/GP Sergeant position and one (1)
GF/GP Deputy II position be created in the Aviation Unit, Patrol Services
Division, Sheriff Department.
Chairperson, of behalf of the Public Services Committee, I move the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.

Pursuant to Rule XII-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed
the above-named miscellaneous resolution and finds:
1. The Sheriff Department wishes to create an Aviation Unit in the
Patrol Services Division. To account for this initiative, a new
internal service fund will be established entitled Sheriff
Aviation.
2. A $3.8 million loan from the Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund (DTRF)
will cover the acquisition costs of the two (2) fully equipped
helicopters, $1.9 million to be drawn down in Fiscal Year 2001 for
the first helicopter and an additional $1.9 million, which may be
drawn down in Fiscal Year 2002 for the second helicopter, if
provided by the Board of Commissioners. The loan will be repaid
over an eight (8) year timeframe with an interest rate
(approximately 6%) computed per the attached loan agreement.
3. Principal, interest on the loan and operating costs will be
derived from a General Fund Non-Departmental Appropriation created
by Miscellaneous Resolution #00163 and resulting from estimated
Sheriff Department savings through privatization of food services
at the Jail ($1,693,720 in Fiscal Year 2001, $1,638,532 in Fiscal
Year 2002, and approximately $1.6 million per year thereafter).
4. The recommended budget amendments provide for sufficient funding
to the Sheriff Aviation Internal Service Fund for replacement of
the helicopters after ten (10) years of service without additional
borrowing.
5. The County’s Risk Management Division has indicated that an
outside insurance policy would cost between $95,000 and $114,000
annually per helicopter. A second helicopter could result in a
slightly reduced insurance cost per helicopter.
6. The Sheriff Department has indicated that the County can secure a
long-term commitment from a commercial entity for facility use by
both helicopters and office space for the Aviation Unit. Therefore
the Financial Projection reflects both an estimated contribution
and cost ($40,000) for subject facility.
7. The County Executive recommendation is predicated on a letter of
understanding that includes a cap on Sheriff Department overtime
in Fiscal Year 2001 and succeeding years.
8. An hourly rate (approximately $1,400/hr.) has been established for
charging other Departments or Agencies for Aviation Services as
determined by the Sheriff.
9. For the new internal services operation, two (2) positions will be
created on October 1, 2000, one (1) Sergeant and one (1) Deputy
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 24, 2000
484
II. An additional Sergeant and Deputy II position will be created
October 1, 2001 if recommended at that time.
10. Personnel and operational costs of $786,679 for Fiscal Year 2001
and $1,387,990 for Fiscal Year 2002 will require budget
amendments that will be included in the revised County Executive’s
Recommended Budget and are consistent with the attached five-year
projection.
11. Training is estimated to cost $8,000 per pilot; such funds should
be available from State training sources. Should the County be
unsuccessful in securing State funding, the training costs would
have to be borne by the Sheriff Aviation Internal Services Fund.
12. For informational purposes only, the recommended budget amendments
for Fiscal Year 2001 and Fiscal Year 2002 are illustrated below.
