IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR H-4 COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR
HOUSE BILL 4072
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners believes that an improved regional mass transit system is
generally a worthwhile goal for Oakland County and the Metro-Detroit area; and
WHEREAS Metropolitan Detroit and Oakland County are composed of many different regions with unique
needs; and
WHEREAS Some regions within Oakland County have mass transit priorities that may be less compatible
with the overall needs of the metro region as a whole; and
WHEREAS Regions whose priorities are not served by an overall mass transit plan should not be forced
to pay for and participate in a regional plan that is detrimental to their general interests; and
WHEREAS DARTA legislation approved by both Houses of the 91st State Legislature provided local
participation options for regions in Wayne County, but NOT for regions in Oakland County or other
counties within the DARTA regions; and
WHEREAS Providing local Oakland County regions with a choice as to whether or not to continue
participation in any Metro-Detroit area mass transit authority plays a vital role in ensuring the
establishment of, and continuation of, high quality mass transit service for each local community within
the region; and
WHEREAS Michigan House of Representatives Bill number 4072 has been amended in committee to
allow regions within the metro area to remain within a regional mass transit plan only when it sufficiently
serves the needs of the community members within that region.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Supports the
H-4 Committee substitute for House Bill 4072 as the proposal that best incorporates all of the diverse
mass transit needs within Oakland County and the Metropolitan Detroit area.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing Resolution.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - OAKLAND COUNTY REGULATION TO CONTROL
SMOKING IN PUBLIC PLACES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS numerous studies have found that tobacco smoke is a major contributor to indoor air
pollution, and that breathing secondhand smoke is a cause of disease in healthy nonsmokers, including
heart disease, stroke, respiratory disease and lung cancer; and
WHEREAS secondhand smoke is particularly hazardous to elderly people, individuals with cardiovascular
disease, and individuals with impaired respiratory function, including asthmatics and those with
obstructive disease; and
WHEREAS children exposed to secondhand smoke have an increased risk of asthma, respiratory
infections, sudden infant death syndrome, developmental abnormalities and cancer; and
WHEREAS the United States Environmental Protection Agency classified secondhand smoke as a known
cause of lung cancer -- a "Group A" carcinogen, the environmental equivalent of asbestos; and
WHEREAS secondhand smoke contains over 4,000 chemicals, 43 of which are cancerous, killing over
53,000 non-smokers every year; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners recognizes the imperative to protect the public
health and welfare by prohibiting smoking in public places and places of employment; and to guarantee
the right of nonsmokers to breathe smoke-free air; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners recognizes that the need to breathe smoke-free
air shall have priority over the desire to smoke.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
prohibit smoking in all private work sites and public places in Oakland County, but not including bars and
food service establishments.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby adopt this
