MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #02178
BY: Peter H. Webster, District #22
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR RATE PAYER REPRESENTATION ON
DETROIT WATER AND SEWERAGE DEPARTMENT, BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the current system of representation on the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department, Board
of Water Commissioners, [the "Board"] that services the metropolitan regional area with water supply and
sewage services [the "System"] is not equitable and has proven to be unresponsive; and
WHEREAS weighted rate payer representation based on usage of the System is an equitable and more
inclusive method of governance of the Board; and
WHEREAS equitable and responsive representation on the Board would provide each participating city,
village, township or county with a representative and provide for weighted voting regarding governance
issues determined by the Board; and
WHEREAS representation by rate payers would allow for appropriate review and establishment of rates,
charges, procedures and overall efficiency for water supply and sewage services and to review and
approve plans and projects to extend or refinance the System’s facilities; and
WHEREAS rate payer representation in the rate formulation process will result in a better understanding
of how the Board's operation and capital budgets are developed and what assumptions are used in
developing the rates; and
WHEREAS an efficiency audit through self assessments under the guidance of outside experts
conducted in a public forum to analyze the operation to reengineer and achieve significant savings in cost
is necessary; and
WHEREAS appropriate rate payer representation should consist of a member of the governing body or
the mayor, president, or supervisor of each city, village, or township that is provided retail water supply or
sewerage services from the System; and
WHEREAS each county that has an appointed representative to the assembly and received a supply of
water or sewerage services from the System on behalf of one or more municipalities, districts authorities,
or other public corporation in the county, should also have a representative appointed to serve on the
Board.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners support the
concept of rate payer representation on the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department, Board of Water
Commissioners, from each participating municipality on a regional water and sewerage system that is
empowered to review and approve the rates, charges, procedures and overall efficiency of the water
supply and sewerage services.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - OPPOSITION TO THREE PROPOSALS FOR
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS ON THE NOVEMBER 2002 GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS three initiatives have been undertaken to place proposals for constitutional amendments on
the November 2002 General Election Ballot in the State of Michigan; and
WHEREAS the three proposals: (1) shifting tobacco settlement revenues - now used mostly for a college
scholarship program and the life sciences corridor project - to health care programs, (2) requiring
compulsory binding arbitration for state employee labor disputes and (3) eliminating mandatory minimum
drug sentences in favor of treatment for non-violent drug offenders; and
WHEREAS on July 25, 2002, Governor John Engler vetoed all statutory state revenue sharing payments
for fiscal year 2003, because these three proposals, if passed by the voters, would cost the state an
estimated $800 million and jeopardize the state's budget; and
WHEREAS all efforts must be made to avoid the $844 million reduction in revenue sharing to local
governments that was presented in an effort to address the budget implications to the State of Michigan
should voters approve the three constitutional amendments.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby indicate
its opposition to the three ballot proposals for constitutional amendments on the November 2002 General
Election Ballot in the State of Michigan relative to: shifting tobacco settlement revenues to health care
programs, requiring binding arbitration for state employees and eliminating mandatory minimum drugs
sentences in favor of treatment.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the voters of
Oakland County and the State of Michigan to vote in opposition to the three ballot proposals because of
the devastating fiscal impact their adoption would have upon the state's budget and revenue sharing to
local communities.
