WHEREAS the position is vital for assisting the Pathologists with autopsy results in determining cause of

WHEREAS the Chief Forensic Toxicologist performs toxicology analysis on decedents when determining

IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SERVICES/MEDICAL EXAMINER DIVISION - SALARY INCREASE
FOR CHIEF FORENSIC TOXICOLOGIST - MEDICAL EXAMINER
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XII-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed the above reference resolution
and finds:
1. The Oakland County Medical Examiner is requesting an increase to be applied to the
classification of Chief Forensic Toxicologist, which is currently not part of the Salary
Administration Plan, and thus the salary is determined largely by labor market factors.
2. Due to the early retirement incentive program offered to County employees, a vacancy
has occurred in the Medical Examiner's office.
3. With the anticipated difficulty in recruiting candidates for this position, the Personnel
Department has conducted a national and local salary survey and recommends a 10%
increase salary to be applied to the classification.
Annual cost of the increase at one-year step is $6,887 for Salaries and $1,859 for Fringe
Benefits, for a total of $8,746.
4. The position is currently being underfilled and sufficient funding is available within the
Medical Examiner's budget to cover the increase for the remainder of the year.
Therefore, no budget amendment is necessary for FY 2003.
5. Sufficient funding is also available within the FY 2004 and FY 2005 County Executive
Recommendation, as the position was budgeted at a higher level (5-year step), not
anticipating a vacancy. Therefore, no budget amendment is necessary.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #03172
BY: David Coulter, District #25
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT FOR HOUSE BILLS 4609-4613: HORSE RACING
INDUSTRY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the State of Michigan began regulating the horse racing industry in 1993, with the enactment
of the Racing Law of 1933 (Public Act 199); and
WHEREAS the largest horse racing track in Michigan is Hazel Park Raceway, which is located in Oakland
County; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 14, 2003
361
WHEREAS there are seven racetracks within the southern portion of the Lower Peninsula. In 2001, there
were 562 live race dates, the lowest level since 1971. The horse racing industry, which also supports 4-H
programs and county fairs, is suffering great economic losses; and
WHEREAS the $1.2 billion Michigan Horse Racing industry provides a significant contribution to the
state's economy and the creation of over 42,000 jobs, but have been losing about 20% of the business
since the advent of casinos; and
WHEREAS it is imperative that horse racing facilities be granted the ability to reposition themselves in an
increasingly competitive gaming and entertainment market; and
WHEREAS currently, the total consumer expenditure, or wagering less prizes, in Michigan from Detroit
casinos, Native American casinos, pari-mutuel horse racing and the lottery is an estimated $2.9 billion;
and
WHEREAS House Bills 4609 - 4613, are a package of bills receiving bipartisan support, to permit (1) off-
track wagering on telecast horse racing at racing theatres, including state licensed casinos, (2) account
wagering by telephone and internet on horse racing, and (3) the placement of video lottery games at
racetracks by the Michigan Bureau of State Lottery; and
WHEREAS the addition of Video Lottery Terminals (VLT) at horse racing venues is projected to generate
an additional $300 to $800 million in tax revenues. The House Fiscal Agency estimates that the School
Aid Fund could receive up to an additional $160 million in revenues and the newly created Agricultural
Enhancement Fund could receive up to an estimated $45 million in revenues; and
WHEREAS the operation of off-track wagering facilities and video lottery terminals will serve to attract
new customers to the state's seven racetracks and increase interest in the facilities; and
WHEREAS the Michigan horse racing industry is facing additional pressures from within the industry
itself, as it must compete with nearby racing states that are expanding gaming at racetracks; and
WHEREAS the failure of the Michigan horse racing industry could cause serious damage to economy of
the City of Hazel Park and Oakland County - that would be reverberated throughout the State of
Michigan; and
WHEREAS the bipartisan package of bills, which passed the House and are now being considered by the
Senate, would improve the viability of the horse racing industry enabling a dramatic turnaround in the
economic viability of one of the state's most vital economic generators.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby support
the proposed legislation contained in House Bills 4609, 4610, 4611, 4612 and 4613 and urges the
Michigan Legislature to adopt these measures that would support the Michigan horse racing industry.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the Oakland County Clerk forward copies of this adopted resolution be to
the Governor of the State of Michigan, the Senate Committee on Gaming and Oversight, the Oakland
County delegation to the state legislature, the Michigan Association of Counties and Oakland County’s
legislative lobbyists.

The General Government Committee, having reviewed Miscellaneous Resolution #03174 on
August 4, 2003, reports with a recommendation that the Now Therefore Be It Resolved paragraph be
amended as follows:
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby

BY: Mike Rogers, District #14
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT FOR S. 1194 AND H.R. 2387 - MENTALLY ILL
OFFENDER TREATMENT AND CRIME REDUCTION ACT OF 2003
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the nation's local jails are increasingly becoming the dumping grounds for the mentally ill. It is
estimated that of the 10 million people who are incarcerated, 16 percent are suffering from mental illness;
and
WHEREAS most often, when individuals with mental illness are committed to the prison system for minor
infractions, this is more a reflection of their need for proper treatment than a manifestation of any criminal
intent; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted Miscellaneous Resolution #01088 to
create a Task Force to develop and implement a Jail Diversion Program for Mentally Ill, non-violent
offenders; and
WHEREAS implementing a wide range of community-based services is infinitely more preferable to
incarceration when addressing the multiple issues facing the mentally ill population; and
WHEREAS Senate Bill 1194 and House Bill 2387 this creates the Mentally Ill Offender Treatment and
Crime Reduction Act of 2003. This legislation creates planning and implementation grants for
communities to offer treatment and other services (such as housing, education or job placement) to
mentally ill offenders. Programs receiving grant funds must be operated collaboratively by both a criminal
justice agency and a mental health agency; and
WHEREAS Grants under this program may be used to establish or expand community-based treatment
program, providing in-jail treatment programs and transitional services. In addition, grant funds may be
used to enhance training for criminal justice system personnel and mental health system personnel on
how to respond appropriately to this population; and
WHEREAS the National Association of Counties (NACo) endorses this legislation, which includes their
amendment language that dedicates up to five (5%) percent of the planning funds for intergovernmental
collaboration among municipal, county and state governments.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 14, 2003

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
supports the adoption of Senate Bill 1194 and House Bill 2387 and the enactment of the Mentally Ill
Offender Treatment and Crime Reduction Act of 2003.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners joins with the National
Association of Counties in supporting federal legislation that would facilitate the diversion of non-violent
mentally ill offenders from jails and from community crisis situations into appropriate community based
intervention options, when the county chooses this option.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the Oakland County Clerk forward copies of this adopted resolution be to
the Senators Mike DeWine, Patrick Leahy, Chuck Grassley, Maria Cantwell, Sam Brownback, and Pete
Domenici and Ted Strickland, the Oakland County delegation to the federal legislature, the Michigan

WHEREAS the Human Resource Department initially developed and proposed this approach in response
to the occasional, identified need of the Information Technology Department to address a particular
technical project or problem; and

on an on-going basis.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners authorizes, for one year,
additional compensation for overtime exempt employees in the Information Technology Department
(excluding Managers and the Director) at a straight time hourly rate for all hours worked beyond 48 hours

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Information Technology will continue to report on the usage of
additional compensation for overtime exempt employees in the Master Plan Quarterly Status document.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #03214
BY: Charles E. Palmer, District # 19
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE PRESIDENT'S
POSITION REGARDING MARRIAGE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen
WHEREAS the traditional definition of marriage has been the subject of national discussion, resulting in
the President of the United States, George W. Bush, presenting his views in support of traditional
marriage as part of his policies; and
WHEREAS while President George W. Bush has stated that America must remain a welcoming country
and that Americans should not be polarized on the issue of homosexuality, President Bush has also
stated that the Country should not compromise its fundamental beliefs that marriage is defined strictly as
a union between a man and a woman and that his office is reviewing alternatives to codify such
fundamental beliefs; and
WHEREAS in 1996, President Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act, which denied federal
recognition of same-sex marriages and allowed states to ignore same-sex unions licensed elsewhere;
and
WHEREAS Michigan law and statutes provide that marriage is inherently a unique relationship between
one man and one woman and supports the President's policies; and
WHEREAS as a matter of public policy, Michigan recognizes that it has a compelling interest in
encouraging, supporting, and protecting marriage to promote, among other goals, the stability and welfare
of society, its families, and its children. Any union contracted between individuals of the same sex is not
a marriage in this State; and
WHEREAS a constitutional amendment may more properly reflect Michigan's commitment to and
compelling interest in promoting the traditional institution of marriage for the betterment of our society;
and
WHEREAS the people of Oakland County have the right to voice their feelings on an issue that so
fundamentally affects the fabric and social foundation of our families and communities.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the
President of the United States, George W. Bush, and the definition of marriage as exclusively between
one man and one woman.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports placing an
amendment to the Michigan State Constitution, securing the definition of marriage as exclusively between
one man and one woman, before the vote of the people of the State of Michigan.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #03219
BY: Bill Bullard, Jr., District #2
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSING HOUSE BILL NO. 4919
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen
WHEREAS on July 2, 2003, Representatives Hoogendyk, Shulman and Sheen introduced House Bill
4919 (HB4919); and
WHEREAS HB 4919 would target townships in Oakland, Wayne and Macomb Counties, superseding
local zoning; and
WHEREAS HB 4919 would allow residential development at a maximum density of 8 units per acre if
public water and sewer service is or could be made available; and
WHEREAS HB 4919 would also allow mixed use and cluster development at the choice of the developer;
and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners has examined HB 4919 and makes the
following findings and observations:
1. HB 4919 unfairly targets townships for unprecedented high-density residential
development and high intensity mixed use development.
2. HB 4919 would disregard the longstanding efforts of townships to plan for orderly growth,
having a devastating impact on the townships' Master Plan.
3. Rather than preventing sprawl, HB 4919 would likely draw people out of the developed
communities, causing the further exodus from built-up cities and suburbs, and result in
leapfrog development into counties located beyond Oakland, Wayne and Macomb
counties.
4. HB 4919 does not take into consideration the infrastructure (such as adequate roads and
storm water drainage facilities) and lack of public services (such as recreation services,
schools, and library facilities) to service high-density development.
5. HB 4919 would likely result in unplanned, scattered commercial development within
mixed use developments, resulting in a modern version of strip commercial development.
6. HB 4919 fails to recognize the complexity of land use planning and development and the
difficulties of providing public infrastructure and services.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 14, 2003
375
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby goes
on record as being strongly opposed to HB 4919 in its entirety, and encourages State legislators to defeat
the Bill.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners encourages legislators
to consider more comprehensive, well researched, and reasoned efforts to reform land use legislation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners encourages other
townships, cities, villages and counties to go on record in opposition to HB 4919.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this adopted resolution be sent to Governor Granholm, the
Michigan Delegation to the State Legislature, the Michigan Senate Committee on Judiciary, the Michigan
Association of Counties and Oakland County's Legislative Lobbyists.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing Resolution.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #03229
BY: Peter H. Webster, District #18; Hugh D. Crawford, District #9
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS DIVISION FUNDING LEVELS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County established the Community Corrections Division in 1994 under Public Act
511 of 1988; and
WHEREAS the purpose of PA 511 is to fund qualifying community correction alternative programs that
reduce state prison commitments by encouraging participation of offenders likely to be sentenced to
imprisonment in a state correctional facility or jail, who would not increase the risk to public safety, have
not demonstrated a pattern of violent behavior, and do not have a criminal record that indicates a pattern
of violent behavior; and
WHEREAS Oakland County has maintained a prison commitment rate below that of the statewide
average since 1994; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 14, 2003
381
WHEREAS the State grant award for Plans & Services to Oakland County has remained stagnant from
2000 - 2003, despite the fact that the County has consistently met the state’s objectives, and the funding
demands on the County's Community Corrections has increased substantially; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Community Corrections Division has been forced to leave 2.5 positions
vacant in FY 2003 due to insufficient State grant funds in Plans and Services; and
WHEREAS the State has set an objective for the County to further reduce its prison commitment rate
(from 21% to 16%) which would require the County to keep an additional 200 to 250 offenders locally at a
cost of $4.0 million, but the State has recommended only a $6,000 increase in Plans & Services for 2004
to meet this objective; and
WHEREAS the County has committed significant financial resources over the years to the goals and
objectives of Community Corrections and towards the establishment of a State and Local partnership,
including over $10 million in a new work release facility that has recently opened.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners requests the
Michigan Department of Corrections/Office of Community Corrections, through the State Board, to
reallocate funds to Oakland County Community Corrections in the amount of $135,000 bringing the total
state award for Plans and Services in FY 2004 to $1,612,131.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this action would demonstrate the State’s renewed commitment to this
partnership, and thereby reinforce the Board of Commissioner’s decision to continue with the partnership
beyond FY 2004.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk forward copies of this adopted resolution to
the Governor of the State of Michigan, the Michigan Department of Community Corrections, the Oakland
County delegation to the state legislature and Oakland County’s legislative lobbyists.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
