Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2004.
699
WHEREAS it is in the best interests of the County and the Village that the Prior Bonds maturing in the
years 2005 through 2015 be refunded.
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 One Million Three Hundred and Forty-Five
Thousand Dollars ($1,345,000) 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 Bonds maturing in the years 2005 through 2015.
2. BOND DETAILS. The Refunding Bonds shall be designated Oakland County Sewage
Disposal System Refunding Bonds (Village of Franklin Section), Series 2005; shall be in
the principal amount and shall be dated as of such date as shall be determined by
County Drain Commissioner as County Agency at the time of sale; shall be numbered
from 1 upwards; shall be fully registered; shall be in the denomination of $5,000 each or
any integral multiple thereof not exceeding the aggregate principal amount for each
maturity at the option of the purchaser thereof; shall bear interest at a rate or rates not
exceeding 6% per annum to be determined upon the sale thereof payable on such dates
as shall be determined at the time of sale; and shall mature on such dates and in such
amounts as shall be determined at the time of sale.
3. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The principal of and interest on the
Refunding Bonds shall be payable in lawful money of the United States. Principal shall be
payable upon presentation and surrender of the bonds to the bond registrar and paying
agent as they severally mature. Interest shall be paid to the registered owner of each

the calendar month preceding the month in which the interest payment is due. Interest
shall be paid when due by check or draft drawn upon and mailed by the bond registrar
and paying agent to the registered owner at the registered address.
4. BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM. Initially, one fully-registered bond for each maturity, in the
aggregate amount of such maturity, shall be issued in the name of Cede & Co., as
nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) for the benefit of other parties (the
“Participants”) in the book-entry-only transfer system of DTC. In the event the County
determines that it is in the best interest of the County not to continue the book-entry
system of transfer or that the interests of the holders of the bonds might be adversely
affected if the book-entry system of transfer is continued, the County may notify DTC and
the bond registrar and paying agent, whereupon DTC will notify 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 DTC and
any Participant or “beneficial owner” in appropriate amounts in accordance with this
Resolution. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the
bonds at any time by giving notice to the County and the bond registrar and paying agent
and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law or the
County may determine that DTC is incapable of discharging its duties and may so advise
DTC. In either such event, the County shall use reasonable efforts to locate another
securities depository. Under such circumstances (if there is no successor securities
depository), the County and the bond registrar and paying agent shall be obligated to
deliver bond certificates in accordance with the procedures 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
method of payment of principal of and interest on such certificates. Whenever DTC
requests 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.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. December 9, 2004.

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

connection with 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.

aggregate principal amount and maturity date and bearing the same rate of interest as

overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of the principal of and interest on
such Refunding Bond and for all other purposes, and all payments made to any such
registered owner, or upon his order, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3 of this
resolution shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such
Refunding Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the County nor the
bond registrar and paying agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The
County agrees to indemnify and save the bond registrar and paying agent harmless from
and against any and all loss, cost, charge, expense, judgment or liability incurred by it,
acting in good faith and without negligence hereunder, in so treating such registered
owner.
For every exchange or transfer of Refunding Bonds, the County or the bond registrar and
paying agent may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other
governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer,
which sum or sums shall be paid by the person requesting such exchange or transfer as

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #04370
BY: General Government Committee, William R. Patterson, Chairperson
IN RE: COUNTY EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATION – RESOLUTION TO AMEND MISCELLANEOUS
RESOLUTION #02113 – AUTHORIZING APPROPRIATION FOR NORTHWESTERN HIGHWAY
EXTENSION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) initiated a lawsuit in 1975 against the
Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) due to MDOT’s refusal to extend Northwestern Highway
from Eight Mile Road through to the US-23 junction; and
WHEREAS an agreement was reached between the RCOC, MDOT, the Southeastern Michigan Council
of Governments (SEMCOG) and Oakland County that brings closure to the lawsuit and allows for the
commencement of construction; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted Miscellaneous Resolution #02113 on
May 30, 2002, which appropriated $2 million, contingent upon receiving $3 million from the State of
Michigan, to provide funding necessary for the construction of the Northwestern Highway Extension; and
WHEREAS revenue from the State of Michigan has drastically declined; therefore, it is necessary to
amend Miscellaneous Resolution #02113 to reflect that funding from the State of Michigan for this
construction project is no longer available; and
WHEREAS the total estimated cost of the project is $40 million, with $30 million coming from MDOT and
$8 million from the Road Commission for Oakland County and other sources besides Oakland County,
leaving $2 million to be funded by Oakland County; and
WHEREAS in order to facilitate the agreement, which serves the best interests of the communities
involved due to congestion and safety issues that prevail in this area, the County Executive recommends
funding of $2 million as its contribution in settling this 29-year-old lawsuit, thereby providing for the final
investment to allow this project to proceed.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners approves
funding of $2 million to facilitate the settlement of a longstanding lawsuit between the Road Commission
for Oakland County and the Michigan Department of Transportation, for the construction of the
Northwestern Highway Extension.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioner's hereby amends
Miscellaneous Resolution #02113 to reflect that Oakland County’s commitment of funding $2 million is
contingent upon the assurance of guaranteed funding by the Michigan Department of Transportation for
$30 million and $8 million from the Road Commission for Oakland County and other sources besides
Oakland County.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move approval of the foregoing
resolution.

BY: General Government Committee, William Patterson, Chairman
IN RE: CLERK/REGISTER/CIRCUIT COURT – TRANSFER OF COURT CLERK POSITIONS FROM
THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK/REGISTER TO CIRCUIT COURT/PROBATE COURT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS there are forty-six full time judicial court clerks assigned to permanent judges of the Oakland
County Circuit and Probate Court, twenty-two of which fall under the budget of the County Clerk and
twenty-four which fall under the budget of the Circuit Court and/or Probate Court, all of which perform
identical duties; and
WHEREAS this anomaly was created when the judges gave up their court bailiff positions to secure an
additional judicial court clerk; further, that this additional clerk’s position created would be, and is funded
under the Circuit Court’s budget thus creating the present circumstance where half of the clerks are
funded under the Courts and half under the Clerk; and
WHEREAS an administrative problem exists because the Court actually hires, fires, disciplines, directs
and supervises all judicial court clerks while the County Clerk’s only function relative to these employees
is to initiate and maintain personnel records and process payroll; and
WHEREAS in a comparison done with seven other large counties around the state, there is no
circumstance where the administrative responsibility over Judicial Court Clerks is shared; and
WHEREAS in preparation for this request, the County Clerk cooperatively transferred the position of Chief
Court Clerk to the Circuit Court in August of 2002 with the intention of transferring and placing all court
clerks under the umbrella of the circuit/probate court at a later date; and
WHEREAS good business practices require accountability for the time, productivity, and activity of
employees under ones control something which would be improved by combining the administrative,
budgetary, and supervisory authority over all Judicial Court Clerks under the Circuit Court and/or Probate;
and
WHEREAS a total of twenty-two (22) positions are proposed to be transferred from the Office of the
County Clerk as follows: nineteen (19) to the Circuit Court and three (3) to the Probate Court; and
WHEREAS this proposal to unify personnel performing the identical function under one department is
supported by the County Executive, the Circuit Court, and Probate Court; and
WHEREAS approval of this transfer will require amending the Fiscal Year 2005 Budget of the County
Clerk/Register, the Circuit Court and Probate Court.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes the
transfer of the nineteen (19) judicial Court Clerk positions, from the Office of the County Clerk/Register of
Deeds, County Clerk Administration to the Office of the Court Administrator, Circuit Court, and three (3)
to the Probate Court identified as follows:

Friend of the Court Citizens’ Advisory Committee, makes the recommendation that the committee be
disbanded by resolution at the beginning of 2005, for the following reasons:

REPORT
BY: Jail Population Management Task Force, Eric Wilson, Chairperson
IN RE: JAIL POPULATION MANAGEMENT TASK FORCE - ACTIVITY REPORT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Miscellaneous Resolution #04179, the Jail Population Management (JPM) Task Force was
established and charged with certain responsibilities as outlined within the resolution and was directed to
report its recommendations to the Board of Commissioners by December 1, 2004.
The JPM Task Force began meeting on September 28, 2004, and on October 12, 2004, created five
study groups, including Docket Management, Pre-Trial, Jail Space, Jail/Court Data and Jail Alternatives
(see attached notes). These Study Groups were directed to review and assess existing and proposed
programs and policies impacting the jail and to report with recommendations to the JPM Task Force.
Additionally, the Task Force, in conjunction with Sheriff Michael Bouchard and Circuit Court Chief Judge
Wendy Potts, has formally requested assistance from the National Institute of Corrections to perform a
Jail Crowding Local System Assessment. This effort is scheduled to begin after the first of the year.
A resolution will be introduced at the start of the new session (January, 2005) to re-establish the Task
Force to allow for completion of its charge.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Jail Population Management Task Force, I move acceptance of the
foregoing report.
