IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT FOR MICHIGAN BLUE ALERT ACT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS law enforcement officers are sworn to serve and protect our citizenry and to uphold the law.
These officers bravely place themselves in harms way each day in the performance of their duties; and
WHEREAS in 2004, 415 law enforcement officers nationwide made the ultimate sacrifice and lost their
lives in the line of duty, and hundreds more are injured each year; and
WHEREAS apprehension of those criminals who injure or kill a law enforcement officer is vital to
maintaining the safety and security of the community; and
WHEREAS under Michigan's Amber Alert program - a statewide notification program to help locate
abducted children - established in 2001, broadcast radio and television stations receive notices via fax
directly from the Michigan State Police. Stations air the information on the notice as often as possible.
Additionally, stations include it in their newscasts and continue to cover the alert in the news for the next
40 hours; and
WHEREAS statistics show that the sooner the information gets on the air, the greater the chance for a
positive outcome. The Amber Alert system is designed to help disseminate information quickly, which will
lead to the recovery of an abducted child; and
WHEREAS the Southfield Police Department has proposed a similar alert system to rapidly disseminate
useful information to the public to assist law enforcement; and
WHEREAS the proposed Michigan Blue Alert Act is designed to rapidly disseminate useful information in
a predetermined manner to radio and television stations within this state in the event of an attack upon a
law enforcement officer during the performance of his or her duties; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Blue Alert plan is to be activated only in accordance with the policies
established by the Michigan Department of State Police; and
WHEREAS on June 22, 2005, the City of Southfield adopted a resolution in support of the Michigan Blue
Alert Act.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
supports establishing a Blue Alert plan in the State of Michigan to assist in the apprehension of felons
who attack or injure a law enforcement officer during the performance of their duties.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #05148
BY: Commissioner William D. Molnar, District #13
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT FOR WIDENING OF INTERSTATE 75 IN
OAKLAND COUNTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in Oakland County, the main corridor is Interstate 75 (I-75) between 8 Mile Road and M-59,
which is vital to the transportation system in southeast Michigan and carries some of the heaviest traffic
volumes in the State; and
WHEREAS SEMCOG has projected that growth in the region will increase I-75 traffic by more than 20
percent. As a major corridor for Automation Alley and “just-in-time" deliveries for manufacturers and
merchandise, congestion and truck delays on I-75 translate into higher prices for consumer goods; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted Miscellaneous Resolution #03101 to
strongly urge the Michigan Department of Transportation to reinstate funding for the highway and road
improvement projects that are important to the continued growth and safety of Oakland County residents
and the residents of southeast Michigan; and
WHEREAS the economic health and vitality of Oakland County and the State of Michigan relies heavily
upon the ability of businesses in this region to grow and prosper; and
WHEREAS Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) officials have acknowledged that I-75, built in
the 1960s, needs a major reconstruction; however, due to state and federal budget constraints, the
design phase of the project has been indefinitely deferred; and
WHEREAS the estimated construction cost for widening I-75 is $463 million, but the project is stalled until
$93 million can be found to design the project; and
WHEREAS federal lawmakers have not passed a federal highway spending bill since 2003 that provides
federal dollars for state road projects; therefore, House and Senate conference committees have only
acted to extend highway and transit funding to Michigan at 2003 levels; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 18, 2005
319
WHEREAS according to MDOT, had Congress passed a new bill, Michigan would have received $700
million more in federal funds in September 2003; and
WHEREAS I-75 is the busiest and most congested highway in the state, carrying an estimated quarter of
a million people each day. The widening of I-75 is essential if Oakland County is to remain the economic

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #05154
BY: Commissioner Bill Bullard, District #2
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - RECOVERY OF DETROIT WATER SYSTEM FUNDS
MISAPPROPRIATED FOR DIGITAL RADIO SYSTEM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS recent media coverage has noted that the City of Detroit's new $130 million digital radio
system is being paid for through the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department; and
WHEREAS the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) is reportedly paying 33% of the total
cost for the project, amounting to an estimated $43 million for the local dispatch and communication
system; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 18, 2005
322
WHEREAS the DWSD will only directly use 11 percent of the radios, while over 60 percent of the
system’s radios, towers, computers and infrastructure will be used by Detroit's police and fire
departments; and
WHEREAS the radio system paid for by the DWSD has an exceptionally high price tag, costing twice as
much as the new radio systems in Oakland and Macomb counties combined - primarily attributable to the
DWSD's lack of adequate, managerial oversight and accountability or the existence of a governance
structure that is accountable to all of the rate payers within the region; and
WHEREAS the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department customers include 125 suburban communities in
eight counties, with more than 75% of its 4.3 million water customers residing outside of Detroit; and
WHEREAS historically, the DWSD has failed to provide detailed information relative to the expenditures
related to the water system; and
WHEREAS suburban communities pay $26 million in water fees to the DWSD, which is to be applied
towards expenses directly associated with the regional water system; and
WHEREAS Oakland County water customers are being treated unfairly when money that should be
applied towards the maintenance and upkeep of the water system is being misappropriated to cover
expenses non-related to the water system.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby voices
its staunch opposition to the Detroit Water and Sewer Department misusing the funds collected from
Oakland County water system rate payers for digital radio system expenses that are unrelated to the
water system.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners respectfully requests the
Oakland County Drain Commissioner John McCulloch to consider the appropriate and necessary legal
action on behalf of the water system rate payers of Oakland County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk forward copies of this adopted resolution to
the Mayor of the City of Detroit, the Detroit City Council, the Detroit Water and Sewer Board and the
Oakland County Drain Commissioner.
Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #05169
BY: Commissioners David Woodward, District #18 and Bill Bullard, Jr., District #2
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - CONTRACT WITH HAVEN FOR RAPE INTERVENTION
TEAM “S.T.A.R.T.” PROGRAM
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS according to the 2003 Michigan Uniform Crime Report 409 rapes were reported in Oakland
County; and
WHEREAS sexual assault is a violent, life-changing crime that affects the psychological, physical,
emotional, and spiritual well-being of the individual; and
WHEREAS according to the U.S. Department of Justice, 61% of rapes and sexual assaults are not
reported to police; and
WHEREAS in order to counteract the low reporting rates for sexual assaults, victims must be empowered
by having a realistic hope that the law enforcement and judicial systems will work; and
WHEREAS rape kits collected by specially trained sexual assault nurse examiners (SANEs) provide more
effective evidence collection compared with non-SANE-trained nurses and physicians; and
WHEREAS SANE programs are those programs that use SANEs to offer victims of sexual assault
prompt, compassionate care and comprehensive forensic evidence collection; and
WHEREAS in 1999 a task force was convened in Oakland County, including members from HAVEN,
Oakland County's Prosecutors Office, Oakland County's Sheriff's Department, Michigan State Police-
forensic laboratory, St. Joseph Mercy Hospital-Pontiac, Providence Medical Center, William Beaumont
Hospital - Royal Oak, the Pontiac Police Department, and other interested members of the communities;
and
WHEREAS this Oakland County Sexual Assault Task Force investigated possible solutions to the quality
of care received by sexual assault victims in Oakland County. The Task Force recommended developing
a collaborative program in Oakland County that will provide comprehensive victim care services and
establish protocols for sufficient and consistent evidence collection; and
WHEREAS the task force recommended that a Safe Therapeutic Assault Response Team (“START”)
program be implemented for Oakland County residents under the auspices of HAVEN; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 18, 2005
330
WHEREAS HAVEN’S START program is the only SANE program in Oakland County; and
WHEREAS the START Program initiated in June, 2001 by HAVEN has already successfully coordinating
a program for immediate response to the legal, medical, and emotional needs of over 530 sexual assault
survivors, thereby reducing the trauma of sexual assault, increasing prosecution rates, and decreasing
costs to law enforcement and hospitals; and
WHEREAS the START team is made up of forensic nurses, physician's assistants, and HAVEN
advocates. Sexual assault patients receive both emotional support by the advocate and therapeutic
medical care in a safe environment; and
WHEREAS the unique benefit is that the START program provides Forensic Examiners (FE'S) who are
specially trained registered nurses and physicians assistants who perform medical forensic examinations
of adolescent and adult victims of acute sexual assault. They also collect evidence from suspects in
police custody, work with victims and will also testify in court; and
WHEREAS HAVEN has demonstrated fiscal responsibility in the exercise of its START Program by
seeking multiple sources of funding, providing centrally-located nursing interventions at 1/3 the cost of
similar services in the emergency room setting, and reducing the total cost of prosecution by providing
expert forensic evidence collection which encourages plea bargaining by defendants; and
WHEREAS Oakland County, with the adoption of Miscellaneous Resolution #01288, previously entered
into a Professional Services Contract in Fiscal Year 2002 with HAVEN, Inc., which has now expired.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners does hereby
authorize an award of a Professional Services Contract to HAVEN, Inc., for the purpose of establishing an
effective law enforcement tool for the arrest and successful prosecution of those committing sexual
attacks, in which HAVEN is to provide an investigatory resource relating to alleged criminal sexual
conduct and to provide Oakland County residents, who are victims of sexual assault or rape with
examinations, counseling services and courtroom support through the Safe Therapeutic Assault
Response Team (START) Program.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this contract shall be for an amount not to exceed $30,000.00 and that
this contract shall terminate on September 30, 2006, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that HAVEN shall submit quarterly reports to the Oakland County Board of
Commissioner’s General Government Committee and Public Services Committee on or about
January 1, 2006, April 1, 2006, July 1, 2006 and October 1, 2006 for the preceding quarter. These
reports shall include the number of victims treated, the number of trials in which START staff testified, the
percentage of victims requesting counseling and follow-up services, anecdotal or formally-gathered
reports by victims regarding their perceptions of services provided, the number of referrals made to other
agencies or programs, any community education efforts undertaken by START program personnel, and
any other information serving to characterize the nature and value of the START Program to Oakland
County residents.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that contingent upon the approval of the Board of Commissioners of this
Miscellaneous Resolution, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners authorizes its Chairperson to
execute this professional services contract on behalf of the Board of Commissioners.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT FOR
THE SOLE PURPOSE OF NARROWLY AND CLEARLY DEFINING THE TERM “PUBLIC USE”
CONSISTENT WITH THE 2004 MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT DECISION (COUNTY OF WAYNE VS.
HATHCOCK ET AL) THAT OVERTURNED THE POLETOWN DECISION
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the right of an individual to own property without the threat that his/her government will take
their property and give it to a private entity for a non-public use is fundamental to democracy in the United
States; and
WHEREAS Eminent Domain is the power of a government to take private property for public use; the 5th
Amendment of the US Constitution and articles in many state constitutions allow this practice provided
that fair compensation is made; and
WHEREAS historically Eminent Domain has been used for public uses such as roads, parks, schools and
other governmental functions; and
WHEREAS in 1954, the United States Supreme Court began to erode individual property rights when it
determined in Berman vs. Parker that government's power of eminent domain could be used to seize
property in order to remove "blighted" areas; and
WHEREAS the definition of a "blighted" area has become so expansive that in 1981 the Michigan
Supreme Court allowed the City of Detroit to condemn a stable neighborhood called Poletown to make
way for a General Motors plant; and
WHEREAS in 2004, the Michigan Supreme Court overturned the “Poletown” decision when it ruled on
The County of Wayne vs. Hathcock et al, and noted that: “if one’s ownership of private pr operty is
forever subject to the government’s determination that another private party would put one’s land to better
use, then the ownership of real property is perpetually threatened by the expansion plans of any large
discount retailer, "megastore,” or the like.”; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Supreme Court also noted in 2004 that: “we must overrule Poletown in order
to vindicate our Constitution, protect the people’s property rights, and preserve the legitimacy of the
judicial branch as the expositor—not creator—of fundamental law”; and
WHEREAS on June 23, 2005, the United States Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, ruled in the case, Kelo
vs. City of New London, Connecticut, that government may use eminent domain for the benefit of
developers; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 18, 2005
333
WHEREAS United States Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said in her dissent to the Kelo
decision: "All private property is now vulnerable to being taken and transferred to another private owner,
so long as it might be upgraded. ... The specter of condemnation hangs over all property. Nothing is to
prevent (local governments) from replacing any Motel 6 with a Ritz-Carlton, any home with a shopping
mall, or any farm with a factory."; and
WHEREAS even though the Michigan Supreme Court, through a strict constitutional interpretation,
reversed the Poletown decision and placed Michigan property owners in a more secure position for the
immediate future than property owners in many other states, a future Michigan Supreme Court could
reverse the current ruling, once again allowing the condemnation of private property for private
developers where no public use is involved; and
WHEREAS during the 23 years the Poletown decision was the law of the land in the State of Michigan,
many of Michigan’s residential and small business property owners were let down by their government as
it, with little thought or care for their long term interests, took their property and gave it to private
developers for the sole purpose of increasing the government’s tax base; and
WHEREAS United States Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, in writing for the majority on the
Kelo decision, pointed out that the Constitution does not preclude individual states "from placing further
restrictions (on) the exercise of the taking power."
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, on behalf of
Oakland County property owners, urges the Michigan Legislature to place an amendment to the State of
Michigan Constitution on the ballot for the sole purpose of narrowly and clearly defining “public use” in a
manner that is consistent with the 2004 Michigan Supreme Court ruling (County of Wayne vs. Hathcock
et al) on eminent domain that overturned the 1981 Poletown decision.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, on behalf of Oakland
County property owners, commends the Michigan Supreme Court for their just and bold ruling in 2004
(County of Wayne vs. Hathcock et al) that overturned the Poletown decision.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Michigan Supreme Court,
Governor Jennifer Granholm, the Oakland County legislative contingent in Lansing, the Michigan
Association of Counties and all Oakland County Communities.
Chairperson, I move adoption of the foregoing resolution.
