TEAM FOR HOMELAND SECURITY GRANTS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the terrorist incidents occurring in New York and Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon on
September 11, 2001 has caused the United States to develop programs and bolster first responder
capabilities related to fighting terrorism and weapons of mass destruction; and
WHEREAS substantial federal funding has been released under the U. S. Department of Homeland
Security, through the Office for Domestic Preparedness (ODP), for the State Homeland Security Grant
Program to support our first responder abilities to respond to a Chemical, Biological, Radiological,
Nuclear or Explosive (CBRNE) related event; and
WHEREAS the Michigan State Police Emergency Management Division (MSP EMD) has appointed a
State Planning Team (SPT) with individuals not representative of the counties in southeast Michigan,
which make up approximately 60 percent of the State's population as well as 80 plus percent of the
State's critical infrastructure; and
WHEREAS MSP EMD is directing the SPT to prioritize, determine funding formulas, and direct future
grant money without the participation and input of the local communities in southeast Michigan as it
relates to risk, vulnerable areas, threats, and equipment shortfalls; and
WHEREAS MSP EMD has closed the meetings of the SPT to the communities (including first responders,
defined as police, fire and emergency medical services personnel) who provided the needs and
vulnerability assessment information under the premise of Homeland Security which provides protection
from disclosure information relating to critical infrastructure; and
WHEREAS proportionate population and critical infrastructure based funding should be directed to the
first responder community to encourage building mutual aid consortia to address approaches,
organization, and procedures for preventing terrorist use of nuclear weapons, detecting chemical and
biological materials and attacks, and improving response capabilities; and
WHEREAS Oakland County represents 11% of the State population and only receives approximately 3%
of the Homeland Security funding based upon the current grant formulas developed by the State; and
WHEREAS once the Homeland Security formula is set for allocating resources, the formula will develop
entrenched constituency groups in its defense; and
WHEREAS the MSP and other State departments are represented on the SPT and receiving Homeland
Security funds for State programs; and
WHEREAS the County has developed effective mutual aid consortia by encouraging cooperative
relationships with the first responders through grants provided to the local governmental units with both
Commissioners Minutes Continued. February 5, 2004
88
County General Fund appropriations from the Board of Commissioners and funds received through the
State; and
WHEREAS the County would encourage the State to actively work in building local consortia and/or
supporting local consortia already in existence; and
WHEREAS the County’s significant experience in building consortia and the experience of other counties,
including first responders and emergency managers, would benefit in development of mutual aid
relationships in the case of an emergency; and
WHEREAS many other organizations involving police, fire/EMS and emergency management functions
have called for representation on the SPT; and
WHEREAS State Representatives have asserted that the City of Detroit emergency manager sits on the
SPT to represent urban emergency management interests and the six county region (despite having no
input from those counties).
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners requests and
urges that the region of southeast Michigan be adequately represented on the SPT for the purpose of
