IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT OF FEDERAL LEGISLATION LIMITING THE

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS over the past two years, imports from Canada have risen 152 percent and now constitute
about half of the imported waste received in Michigan landfills; and
WHEREAS currently, approximately 110-130 truckloads of waste come in to Michigan each day from
Canada; and
WHEREAS these shipments of waste are expected to increase as Toronto and other locations in Ontario
phase out their local disposal sites; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 4, 2003
404
WHEREAS based on current usage statistics from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality,
Michigan has landfill disposal capacity for an estimated 15 to 17 years. However, with the proposed
increases in the importation of waste, this capacity is now projected to be less than ten years; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality estimates that, for every five years of
disposal of Canadian waste at the current usage volume, Michigan is losing a full year of landfill capacity;
and
WHEREAS the federal legislature is considering H.R. 1730 and other legislation that amends the Solid
Waste Disposal Act to provide state and local governments with the tools needed to reasonably limit the
amount of out-of-sate and international waste that crosses their borders, ensuring disposal capacity for
their own state's solid waste and protecting their communities natural resources; and
WHEREAS proposed federal legislation would authorize States to establish limits on the amount of out-
of-state municipal solid waste that is received annually at each facility to the amount received during
1995, if the State has enacted a comprehensive, statewide recycling program; and
WHEREAS S.199, proposes to amend the Solid Waste Disposal Act to prohibit any person from
importing, transporting, or exporting municipal solid waste (MSW), for final disposal or incineration, in
violation of the 1986 Agreement Concerning the Transboundary Movement Hazardous Waste, between
the United States and Canada; and
WHEREAS S.431 amends the Solid Waste Disposal Act to authorize States in which facilities received
more than 650,000 tons of out-of state municipal solid waste in 1993, to establish limits on the quantity of
such waste to be received by facilities; and
WHEREAS S. 383, the Canadian Waste Import Ban Act of 2003, amends the Solid Waste Disposal Act to
prohibit the importation of Canadian municipal solid waste for disposal or incineration into any State
without the Governor's consent and requires the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to
also consider the impact of the importation on homeland security, public health and the environment.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
supports provisions within Solid Waste Interstate Act of 2003, that authorizes States to establish limits on
the amount of out-of-state waste received annually for disposal at each facility.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk forward copies of this adopted resolution to
the Oakland County delegation to the federal legislature, the Michigan Association of Counties, the

WHEREAS Enrolled Senate Bill 293 was passed by the Michigan Legislature and presented to the

WHEREAS Senate Bill 293 allowed local governmental public safety agencies to attach communications
equipment to state owned towers potentially saving local communities millions of dollars; and
WHEREAS Senate Bill 293 was vetoed on July 11, 2003; and

WHEREAS the Executive Order imposes restrictions and fees on local agencies seeking to utilize state
owned towers that were not part of Senate Bill 293; and
WHEREAS the restrictions and fees required for the use of state owned towers effectively denies access

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
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.

WHEREAS the County has received or will receive a request from the City to refund all or part of the
outstanding Prior Bonds; and
WHEREAS it is in the best interests of the County and the City that the Prior Bonds maturing in the years

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
1. AUTHORIZATION OF BONDS-PURPOSE. Bonds of the County (the “Refunding Bonds”)
aggregating the principal sum of not to exceed Three Million One Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($3,150,000) shall be issued and sold pursuant to the provisions of Act 34, and other
applicable statutory provisions, for the purpose of refunding all or part of the outstanding Prior

the Participants of the availability through DTC of bond certificates. In such event the bond
registrar and paying agent shall deliver, transfer and exchange bond certificates as requested by

established by this Resolution. In the event bond certificates are issued, the provisions of this
Resolution shall apply to, among other things, the transfer and exchange of such certificates and

the County and the bond registrar and paying agent to do so, the County and the bond registrar
and paying agent shall cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to
make available one or more separate certificates evidencing the bonds to any Participant having
bonds certified to its DTC account or to arrange for another securities depository to maintain
custody of certificates evidencing the bonds.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, so long as any bond is
registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to the
principal of, interest on and redemption premium, if any, on such bonds and all notices with
respect to the bonds shall be made and given, respectively, to DTC as provided in the Letter of
Representations relating to the bonds among DTC, the County and the bond registrar and paying
agent. The County Agency or the County Treasurer is authorized to sign the Letter of
Representations on behalf of the County, in such form as the County Agency or the County
Treasurer deems necessary or appropriate in order to accomplish the issuance of the bonds in
accordance with law an this Resolution.

facsimile thereof) shall be impressed or imprinted on the Refunding Bonds. After the Refunding
Bonds have been executed and authenticated, they shall be delivered by the County Treasurer to
the purchaser upon receipt of the purchase price. Additional Refunding Bonds bearing the
facsimile signatures of the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners and the County Clerk and
upon which the seal of the County (or a facsimile thereof) is impressed or imprinted may be

the exchange or transfer of the Refunding Bonds. The bond registrar and paying agent shall
indicate on each Refunding Bond the date of its authentication.
8. EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF BONDS. Any Refunding Bond, upon surrender
thereof to the bond registrar and paying agent with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to
the bond registrar and paying agent duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized
attorney, at the option of the registered owner thereof, may be exchanged for Refunding Bonds of
any other authorized denominations of the same aggregate principal amount and maturity date
and bearing the same rate of interest as the surrendered Refunding Bond.
Each Refunding Bond shall be transferable only upon the books of the County, which shall be
kept for that purpose by the bond registrar and paying agent, upon surrender of such Refunding
Bond together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the bond registrar and paying
agent duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney.

Refunding Bonds is in default, the bond registrar and paying agent shall endorse upon the new
Refunding Bond the following: “Payment of interest on this bond is in default. The last date to

ownership of an unmatured Refunding Bond, of satisfactory evidence that the Refunding Bond
has been lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken and of security or indemnity that complies
with applicable law and is satisfactory to the Treasurer, the Treasurer may authorize the bond
registrar and paying agent to deliver a new executed Refunding Bond to replace the bond lost,
apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken in compliance with applicable law. In the event and
outstanding matured Refunding Bond is lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, the
Treasurer may authorize the bond registrar and paying agent to pay the Refunding Bond without
presentation upon the receipt of the same documentation required for the delivery of a
replacement Refunding Bond. The bond registrar and paying agent for each new Refunding
Bond delivered or paid without presentation as provided above, shall require the payment of
expenses, including counsel fees, that may be incurred by the bond registrar and paying agent
and the County in the premises. Any Refunding Bond delivered pursuant the provisions of this
Section 16 in lieu of any Refunding Bond lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken shall be
of the same form and tenor and be secured in the same manner as the Refunding Bond in
substitution for which such Refunding Bond was delivered.

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to assure that the interest on the Refunding
Bonds will be and will remain excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes.

Refunding Bonds will be and will remain excludable from gross income for federal income tax

necessary to enable compliance with the Rule. After the award of the Refunding Bonds, the
County will provide copies of a “final official statement” (as defined in paragraph (e)(3) of the
Rule) on a timely basis and in reasonable quantity as requested by the successful bidder or
bidders to enable such bidder or bidders to comply with paragraph (b)(4) of the Rule and the rules
of the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.

deliver in the name and on behalf of the County (i) a certificate of the County to comply with the
requirements for a continuing disclosure undertaking of the County pursuant to subsection (b)(5)
of the Rule and (ii) amendments to such certificate from time to time in accordance with the terms
of such certificate (the certificate and any amendments thereto are collectively referred to herein
as the “Continuing Disclosure Certificate”). The County hereby covenants and agrees that it will
comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate. The
remedies for any failure of the County to comply with and carry out the provisions of the

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners Audit Subcommittee requested the Oakland
County Auditing Division to review the Tri-Party Program and make recommendations regarding the

WHEREAS the Oakland County Auditing Division has conducted the requested review and has
determined a need to update the Tri-Party Program scope and guidelines to better represent the Program
as it exists today; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners is permitted to, in accordance with Public Act
253 of 1917, MCL 247.121, appropriate funding from the General Fund to the Road Fund provided that

repair of highways under the supervision and direction of the Board of County Road Commissioners; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted Miscellaneous Resolution #7791 in
1977 to address road improvement needs identified by the Road Commission for Oakland County in the
areas of traffic safety and graveling for local units of government that do not have jurisdiction over their

WHEREAS Miscellaneous Resolution #7791 authorized the appropriation of $250,000 which was

WHEREAS the population of Oakland County has increased from 910,000 in 1970 to 1.2 million in 2000;
and
WHEREAS this development within Oakland County has stressed road capacities creating conditions
affecting traffic safety; and
WHEREAS over time road improvements through this Program have evolved into paving, lane additions
or lengthening, bridges, and drainage as they relate to road safety, structure, or relieving congestion
which may include fulfilling a local governmental unit’s obligation of matched funding for federally funded
road projects; and
WHEREAS the County of Oakland has adopted an appropriation in the amount of $1.5 million for the
2003 fiscal year with a proposed budget amount of $1.5 million for fiscal year 2004; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners wishes to establish criteria and direction for the use of future
County funding appropriated to the Road Fund.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the General Appropriations Act is hereby amended from “that

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.

To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners

The General Government Committee, having reviewed Miscellaneous Resolution #03219 on

Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move acceptance of the foregoing
report.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
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.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 4, 2003
424
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.
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, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

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
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

days, that vacancy shall be filled by a special election regardless of whether the year is an election year
or an odd year; and
WHEREAS the costs associated with holding a Special Primary Election and a Special Election are not
anticipated in the budgets of the affected local governments and thereby poses an unanticipated financial
hardship on the local communities and leaves the constituents of the County Commissioner District

elected to the legislature shall receive any civil appointment within this state from the governor, except
notaries public, from the legislature, or from any other state authority, during the term for which he is
elected"; and

establishes a policy prohibiting any person elected or appointed to the office of Oakland County
Commissioner from receiving any civil appointment within Oakland County from the County Executive,
