IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - URGING THE STATE OF MICHIGAN TO MAINTAIN
CURRENT LEVELS OF FUNDING FOR OAKLAND COUNTY'S FAMILY PLANNING PROGRAM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Michigan Family Planning Program makes available general reproductive health
assessment, comprehensive contraceptive services, related health education and counseling, and
referrals as needed to every citizen of the state; and
WHEREAS the program's strong educational and counseling component helps to reduce health risks and
promote healthy behaviors. While services are available to anyone, the primary target population is low-
income women and men - who are mostly uninsured; and
WHEREAS local family planning agencies are allocated public funds based on the number of clients they
expect to serve. Services are delivered through local health departments, planned parenthood affiliates,
hospitals, and private non-profit agencies; and
WHEREAS the State of Michigan conducted a study that revealed that the cost of the Family Planning
program was $128.66 per patient. Yet, the State is providing only $79.00 per patient towards the
operation of this much needed program; and
WHEREAS fees paid by those who access the services and Medicaid dollars are not sufficient to cover
the shortfall of operating the Family Planning Programs; and
WHEREAS as a result of the insufficient funding from the State of Michigan, local health departments are
faced with the economic reality of having to consider terminating these vital programs; and
WHEREAS the Health Division of the Oakland County Health Department that operates three clinics
offering Family Planning Program services: Southfield, Pontiac and Walled Lake - is in jeopardy of ending
on October 1, 2002, because the state's share of funding for the services has not keep up with inflation;
and
WHEREAS the operation of the Family Planning Program costs Oakland County approximately $600,000
annually. The fees from clients generate $150,000 in revenue. The State contributes only $302,000 -
creating a shortfall of $150,000 for what is needed to operate the program.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
urge the State of Michigan to provide the additional funding needed to keep the Family Planning Program
in Oakland County operating at its present level.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this adopted resolution be sent to Governor John Engler, the
Michigan Delegation to the State Legislature, the Michigan Association of Counties and Oakland County's

Causey-Mitchell, Vincent Gregory, Michelle Friedman Appel, George W. Suarez, William Patterson
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - AMENDING OAKLAND COUNTY DEFAULT BENEFIT
PACKAGE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County makes available to its employees a generous fringe benefit package. All full-
time employees are covered by a flexible benefits plan called Natural Select; and
WHEREAS each year, employees are required to decide how their annual Benefit Dollars are to be used.
The opportunity to make these selections generally occurs in the fall of the year and become effective on
January 1st of the following year; and
WHEREAS employees who do not make their personal selections during the designated enrollment
period revert to the "Default Benefit Package." Unfortunately, many employees inadvertently miss the
deadline for enrollment and are forced to accept the Default Benefit Package, which may differ
significantly from their family needs or preferences; and
WHEREAS the Default Benefit Package consists of the PPO Medical, modified dental, standard vision,
one times (1 x) salary life insurance, one times (1 x) salary accidental death coverage and no
reimbursement accounts. This particular package is seldom deliberately selected by employees actually
timely exercising their choice; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners recognizes that despite the extensive efforts of
the Personnel Department to communicate to Oakland County employees the importance of carefully
reviewing the annual benefits program and responding during the enrollment period, each year there are
a significant number of employees who do not respond during the enrollment period and inadvertently
end up with the "Default Benefit Package"; and
WHEREAS the "default" function or position in many kinds of working systems is intended to be the "most
likely" choice, the "most often used" choice, the "most commonly expected" choice, as when one's
computer prints, in the default mode, to the printer previously deliberately recorded in it, not to another
printer, or allegorically, a system, no one had ever deliberately chosen; and
WHEREAS Oakland County should change the Default Benefit Package to be a continuation of the
benefit options that each employee designated in the prior enrollment period.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Oakland County Board of Commissioners directs the
County Executive and the Personnel Department to change the definition of the Default Benefit Package
to consist of the benefit options that each employee actually previously designated in the last previous
enrollment period in which they timely exercised actual designation choices.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT this change to the Default Benefit Package shall become effective
during the 2002 enrollment period.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing Resolution.
