MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION # 01318
BY: Commissioner Ruel E. McPherson, District #25
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS-SUPPORT EFFORTS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF
MICHIGAN'S BORDER'S
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Americans from all walks of life are stepping
forward and providing unprecedented, heroic service to their country in its time of extraordinary need; and
WHEREAS many of them are working in vital but behind-the-scenes roles. Nowhere is this spirit of heroic
service better exemplified than in Southeast Michigan, where officers from 33 law-enforcement agencies
are working virtually around the clock to help keep traffic moving safely and efficiently at the Detroit-
Windsor Tunnel, the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit and the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron; and
WHEREAS without this local assistance, U.S. Customs and Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS)
agents would find it difficult – if not virtually impossible – to prevent massive traffic backups at the busiest
border-crossing points between the United States and Canada; and
WHEREAS the Customs and INS officials have sought emergency back-up assistance. In response, 33
local law enforcement agencies are assisting federal agents with vehicle inspections and security; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. January 24, 2002
21
WHEREAS, it is imperative the National Guard and local law enforcement personnel remain on duty for
the next 9 to 12 months, while permanent replacements are trained and fully deployed to handle the
heightened security demands at our northern border; and
WHEREAS while we applaud the efforts of these local agencies that are volunteering 76 officers a day to
supplement the INS and Customs staffing shortages, we recognize that these efforts cannot continue
without just compensation; and
WHEREAS the Detroit Regional Chamber’s Northern Border for Economic Security and Trade (NBEST)
supports earmarking $10 million in federal funds to support these local law-enforcement agencies; and
WHEREAS Canada is, by far, our nation’s biggest trading partner with $1 billion worth of goods crossing
the U.S-Canadian border every day – 40 percent of it through the Detroit Region. Any long-term
disruptions to this flow would undoubtedly have a serious negative impact on both our national security –
and the economic development, trade and tourism in Oakland County and throughout southeast
Michigan.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
support emergency funding for local law enforcement agencies and the National Guard, allowing for their
continued assistance in maintaining a secure and efficient border system at the Ambassador Bridge,
Detroit Windsor Tunnel and the Blue Water Bridge.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT copies of this adopted resolution be sent to President George W.
Bush, Governor John Engler, the Michigan Delegation to the state legislature and in Congress, Senator
Carl Levin, the Michigan Association of Counties, the National Association of Counties and Oakland
