IN RE: HEALTH CARE PLAN FOR SMALL BUSINESS EMPLOYEES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County government has long been known for its focus on
quality services and innovative leadership which makes Oakland County a
desirable place to live and work; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has experienced unprecedented economic expansion
in no small part due to the efforts of the County Executive, his staff, and
the cooperative efforts of the Board of Commissioners in their support of
development and funding of various programs designed to enhance and encourage
such expansion; and
WHEREAS it has been determined that continued economic expansion will be
inhibited by this County’s ability to attract and retain a sufficient work
force to fill the anticipated job vacancies created by Oakland County’s
economic growth; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has over 58,000 small businesses which employ
fewer than 100 employees, many of which cannot afford to offer a health care
program as a benefit of employment due to the high cost involved in providing
such coverage; and
WHEREAS other counties throughout the United States have developed
programs which make basic health care affordable for employees of small
businesses that did not offer health care as a benefit of employment and would
not otherwise have a health care program available to them because their
income was either too great to qualify for government health care programs or
too little to afford the high cost of private care insurance for themselves
and their families; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, in an effort to make
health care available to a wider range of its citizens supports this concept
and the County Executive’s initiative to develop and implement a program
designed to assist small business employers in providing their employees
affordable health care thereby enhancing the desirability of Oakland County as
a place to work and live; and
WHEREAS it may be necessary to make funds available to conduct the
necessary planning and development to establish such a program.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the County of Oakland, through its
Board of Commissioners, does hereby let it be known that it supports the
development of a program designed to make affordable health care available
through small business employers for their employees.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the office of the County Executive is
supported and encouraged to continue his efforts to determine the feasibility
of such a program and to report his recommendation as to those requirements
necessary to establish such a program in Oakland County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners by its support of
this resolution expresses its commitment to develop a program as described
above.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – TRI-PARTY AGREEMENT FISCAL YEAR 2002 FUNDING
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Tri-Party Agreement was first authorized in 1980 by the
Oakland County Board of Commissioners with the adoption of Miscellaneous
Resolution #9246; and
WHEREAS the Tri-Party Agreement is an innovative program between Oakland
County, the Road Commission for Oakland County and the local communities to
provide a three-way match of funds to repair County roads in Oakland County;
and
WHEREAS the successful Tri-Party program has given participating local
municipalities the opportunity to prioritize County road projects within their
community and to determine how the money will be spent within their
jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS the Tri-Party program distributes funds to the local communities
based on a formula which takes into consideration County road miles, accidents
and population; and
WHEREAS in 1997, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorized a
25% increase in funding for the Tri-Party Agreement – increasing the County’s
contribution from $1 million to $1.25 million – for Fiscal Year 1998; and
WHEREAS recognizing the importance of supporting road improvements, the
Oakland County Board of Commissioners has approved appropriating $1.25 million
for the Tri-Party Agreement each fiscal year since 1998; and
WHEREAS for Fiscal Year 2001, the Tri-Party Program will provide local
cities, villages and townships with a total of $3.75 million for County road
improvements; and
WHEREAS safe and convenient roads are essential to maintaining Oakland
County’s economic growth and quality of life. Despite Oakland County’s
ongoing efforts to seek additional funding for roads from the State and
Federal governments, there are many critical road needs that require immediate
attention.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County appropriation for
the Tri-Party Agreement, for Fiscal Year 2002, be increased by up to $1
million.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be provided to the
County Executive, the Road Commission for Oakland County and the local
communities to advise of the increased contribution effective in October 2001.
