MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #02240
BY: John P. Garfield, District #9
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSE HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION BB – TRICOUNTY
REGIONAL SALES TAX
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS House Joint Resolution BB (HJR BB) proposes to amend that Michigan State Constitution,
Section 8 of Article IX, to provide a tricounty regional sales tax option of not more than one (1%) percent;
and
WHEREAS HJR BB provides that beginning on January 1, 2003, the Michigan Legislature shall provide
for a local option sales tax for any tricounty region with a total population of more than 4 million upon
approval of a majority of voters voting on the question in the tricounty region; and
WHEREAS HJR BB requires that sixty (60%) of the proceeds from this increase in the tricounty sales tax
shall be used only for regional transportation purposes and coordination in that tricounty region; and
WHEREAS HJR BB requires that twenty (20%) of the proceeds from this increase in the tricounty sales
tax shall be used only for funding roads; and
WHEREAS HJR BB requires that twenty (20%) of the proceeds from this increase in the tricounty sales
tax shall be used for water and sewage infrastructure in that tricounty region; and
WHEREAS HJR BB also includes language that allowing a county that does not contain a city with a
population of more than 750,000 may decline to collect the local option sales tax if a majority of the voters
voting on the question in that county do not approve the question and the county Board of Commissioners
adopts a resolution to decline to collect the local option sales tax – in which case, none of the proceeds
from that local option sales tax shall be used for allowed purposes in that county; and
WHEREAS HJR BB was introduced on September 17, 2002 and referred to the Committee on Tax Policy.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes
House Joint Resolution BB and the concept of putting before the voters of Oakland County a proposal to
amend the State Constitution to provide for a regional sales tax increase – because of the negative
economic impact that such a localized sales tax increase would have upon Oakland County and the
unfair burden it would place upon Oakland County’s taxpayers.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this adopted resolution be forwarded to the Governor of
Michigan, the Oakland County delegation to the state legislature, the House Committee on Tax Policy,
the Michigan Association of Counties, the Michigan Municipal League and Oakland County’s legislative
lobbyists.

WHEREAS currently, the Vital Statistics Section has in its possession of over 2,000,000; and vital records

county; and
WHEREAS in keeping with Oakland County's desire to be a technological leader among the counties of
this state, and of the nation, it is desirable to place the vital records in possession of the Oakland County
Clerk/Register’s Office into an electronic medium which would dramatically reduce the storage areas and
man-hours necessary to record, store, and retrieve vital records within its control making these records
readily available to the public either at the service counter and the INTERNET via @ccess Oakland; and
WHEREAS this imaging project has been studied and recommended by staff in both the Clerk/Register’s
Office, Information Technology, and by the IT Leadership Committee, which created a Request for
Proposal RFP) and conducted numerous interviews from which Xerox Connect was selected as that
bidder which most conformed with the RFP in ability and cost having come in with a bid of $525,113.29,
which would back scan the approximately 2,000,000 vital records currently in possession of the
Clerk/Register’s Vital Statistics Section and provide for a forward scan solution for the handling of future
filings with that office; further, that in addition, it is estimated that there will be associated costs to Oakland
County Information Technology at a cost of $170,000.00 for development and implementation of the
scanning project and @ccess Oakland product, plus an added amount for contingency of $26,886.71 for
a total request for funding of $722,000.00 for this project; and

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Department of Management and Budget has projected a significant budget shortfall for
Fiscal Year 2004 as a result of the combined impact of anticipated reductions in State funding, as well as
reduced investment income and increased health care costs; and
WHEREAS one means of addressing the projected shortfall while simultaneously creating opportunities
for reorganization and position deletions is to provide a strong incentive for County employees to retire;
and
WHEREAS a retirement “incentive window” to currently eligible employees and an “early out window” to
certain employees not yet eligible for retirement could generate an estimated annual savings of $7.4
MILLION; and
WHEREAS the stated savings is predicated on an estimated 50% of employees retiring who are currently
eligible or newly eligible to retire under the proposal and refilling only 50% of positions vacated through
this retirement proposal; and
WHEREAS the proposed Incentive Program For Retirement has been reviewed and recommended by
the County Executive.

only 50% of the positions vacated through this retirement program.
