BY: Charles E. Palmer, District #16 and Lawrence A. Obrecht, District #3
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT FOR PERMANENT REPOSITORY OF NUCLEAR
WASTE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Michigan Association of Counties' Board of Directors passed a resolution to urge
Michigan's U.S. Senators and members of Congress to support the efforts of the U.S. Department of
Energy and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to establish a permanent repository for high-level
nuclear waste by opening Yucca Mountain, Nevada; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 18, 2002
187
WHEREAS over the past four decades, nuclear power has become a significant source for the nation's
production of electricity. Michigan is among the majority of states that derive energy from nuclear plants;
and
WHEREAS since the earliest days of nuclear power, the great dilemma associated with this technology is
how to deal with the waste material that is produced. This high-level radioactive waste material demands
exceptional care in all facets of its storage and disposal, including the transportation of this material; and
WHEREAS in 1982, Congress passed the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982. This legislation requires the
federal government, through the U.S. Department of Energy, to build a facility for the permanent storage
of high-level nuclear waste. This act, which was amended in 1987, includes a specific timetable to identify
a suitable location and to establish the waste facility. The costs for this undertaking are to be paid from a
fee that is assessed on all nuclear energy produced; and
WHEREAS in accordance with the federal act, Michigan electric customers have paid $405.8 million into
this federal fund for construction of the federal waste facility; and
WHEREAS there are serious concerns that the federal government is not complying with the timetables
set forth in federal law. The U.S. Department of Energy, working with the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, must not fail to meet its obligation as provided by law. There is too much at stake.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
call upon Michigan's elected officials to support the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Regulatory
Commission in their effort to fulfill their obligation to establish a permanent repository at Yucca Mountain,
Nevada, for high-level nuclear waste.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be transmitted the U.S. Department of Energy,
the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Michigan's U.S. Senators and members of Congress and the
Michigan Association of Counties.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing Resolution.

Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 18, 2002
188
WHEREAS in June 2001 the Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA), Michigan Department of
Community Health (MDCH), Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEC), Michigan
Association of Counties (MAC), and Michigan Association for Local Public Health (MALPH) agreed to
establish a Funding Formula Workgroup to recommend a methodology and implementation plan for
distributing Local Public Health Operations (LPHO) funding; and
WHEREAS the LPHO Workgroup was formed with the understanding that no reallocation of funds would
occur unless additional dollars were available to fund all Local Health Departments (LHD) adequately;
and
WHEREAS all public health departments are currently underfunded, the Workgroup report did not
recommend an increase in funding to implement the funding formula; and
WHEREAS the Workgroup instead recommended reallocation of current funding which changes the
LPHO funding formula and negatively impacts the delivery of environmental and public health services;
and
WHEREAS the Workgroup recommends cutting funding from many county public health jurisdictions,
including Oakland County, that are already underfunded and reallocates those funds to other counties the
Workgroup considers “more underfunded”; and
WHEREAS the recommendation from the Workgroup will reduce funding to the selected LHDs, including
Oakland County, for required services, which are food services, water services, on-site sewage services,
hearing services, vision services, communicable disease services, sexually transmitted disease (STD)
services, and immunization services, and this cut in funding will be detrimental to the services currently
being provided; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Association for Local Public Health Board of Directors has voted to reject the
Workgroup’s proposed plan and recommendations; and
WHEREAS Oakland County will lose a minimum of $339,000 in funding; and
WHEREAS the State of Michigan is statutorily required by the Michigan Public Health Code to provide
50/50 cost sharing, it is not currently meeting this obligation; and
WHEREAS a further cut in the funding as recommended by the Workgroup further assures that the state
will not meet this obligation; and
WHEREAS Oakland County encourages additional financial support pursuant to state law for Michigan’s
underfunded public health network, it does not support a redistribution of the funding currently available to
local health jurisdictions.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
oppose the funding formula as recommended by the Michigan Department of Community Health’s Local
Public Health Operations Funding Formula Workgroup.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to James Haveman, Director,
Michigan Department of Community Health; Russell J. Harding, Director, Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality; Daniel J. Wyant, Director, Michigan Department of Agriculture; Joseph Yekulis,
President, Michigan Association of Counties; and to Mark Bertler, Executive Director, Michigan
Association for Local Public Health, and all Wayne, Oakland, and Ingham Legislators.

(Automold Project) and has designated to this Board of Commissioners a Project Area and Project District

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Project Area as designated by the EDC to this Board is

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #02102
BY: Finance Committee, Sue Ann Douglas, Chairperson
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET/FISCAL SERVICES DIVISION -
SUPPLEMENTAL PAY FOR GASB #34 IMPLEMENTATION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in June 1999, the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) adopted Statement #34,
Basic Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local
Governments; and
WHEREAS this new accounting pronouncement, which is being called "the most significant change to
occur in the history of governmental financial reporting", will have a substantial impact on both the form
and the content of the information included in Oakland County's financial statements; and
WHEREAS specifically, GASB #34 will require the Fiscal Services Division to produce the following new
statements, in addition to the current requirements:
• Management's Discussion and Analysis
• Government-wide Statement of Activities
• Government-wide Statement of Net Assets;
The latter two statements must be prepared using full accrual accounting and an economic resources
measurement focus, which is a significant departure from current governmental accounting and will
require the restatement of a number of items including capital assets, infrastructure (new), and long-term
liabilities; and
WHEREAS in addition to the new requirements, the current requirements regarding producing individual
fund statements, notes to the financial statements, required supplementary information, and reporting on
component units, have all been expanded; and
WHEREAS Oakland County is required to develop and produce GASB #34 compliant financial
statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2002, these financial statements must be prepared
by March 31, 2003; and
WHEREAS implementation of GASB #34 will require an extraordinary effort on the part of financial staff
across the country, many units of local government are engaging outside professional assistance to
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 18, 2002
204
implement the new financial statements. It is projected that the cost of such professional services for a
governmental unit of our size is approximately $60,000; and
WHEREAS rather than contract for the implementation, the Fiscal Services Division has formed a GASB
#34 Implementation Committee, consisting of 11 members, to guide the implementation; and
WHEREAS the formation of this committee will allow the Division to build internal expertise and avoid the
higher cost of contracting for professional services in this effort; and
WHEREAS the employees assigned to the GASB #34 Implementation Committee are not being relieved
of their normal daily activities, rather GASB #34 implementation is an additional duty that must be
undertaken; and
WHEREAS members of the GASB #34 Implementation Committee have prepared themselves for this
task by participating in extensive national and state wide training in this area; and
WHEREAS in order to properly compensate the eleven (11) members of the GASB #34 Implementation
Committee for the extraordinary effort which is required to implement GASB #34, and for their individual
commitment to receive the proper training to produce GASB #34 compliant financial statements, it is
recommended that each member of the GASB #34 Implementation Committee receive supplemental pay
of $2,000, to be paid on a prorated bi-weekly basis, for the period April 1, 2002 - March 31, 2003; and
WHEREAS the total cost of this recommendation equals $27,700, of which $22,000 is the supplemental
payment and $5,700 is related fringe benefits; and
WHEREAS not only is the supplemental pay recommendation only approximately half the cost of
contracting for professional services to implement this required change, in house implementation will
increase the knowledge base of the county staff; and
WHEREAS this supplemental pay recommendation reflects a specific dollar amount for a specific time
period, thus it does not change the base pay of any employee receiving the benefit, nor does it
permanently increase the County budget; and
WHEREAS due to the above considerations, favorability in the Fiscal Services budget can be used to
cover the cost of this recommendation, no additional appropriation is required.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approves
paying members of the Fiscal Services Division GASB #34 Implementation Committee a supplement in
the amount of $2,000 each, for the period April 1, 2002 through March 31, 2003, in order to properly
compensate them for the efforts required in this implementation phase.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the current Fiscal Services Division budget will absorb the $27,700
cost of this time-limited, specific dollar amount increase; no additional appropriation is required.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
