Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Charter Township of Oxford (the “Township”) and the County of Oakland (the “County”)
have entered into the Oakland County Oxford Township Water Supply System Contract dated as of
March 1, 2005, (the "Contract"), pursuant to the provisions of Act 342, Public Acts of Michigan, 1939, as
amended (“Act 342”), and especially Sections 5a, 5b and 5c thereof with respect to the acquisition,
construction, and financing of facilities constituting the Oakland County Oxford Township Water Supply
System (the "Project"); and
WHEREAS an estimate of the cost of the Project in the amount of $17,725,000 has been prepared and
has been approved by the Board of Commissioners of the County; and
WHEREAS this Board of Commissioners desires to proceed with the acquisition, construction and
financing of the Project and the issuance of bonds of the County, in one or more series, in an aggregate
principal amount of not to exceed $17,725,000 to defray all or part of the cost of the Project.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of the County of Oakland, Michigan, as
follows:
1. AUTHORIZATION OF BONDS – PURPOSE. Bonds of the County aggregating the
principal sum of not to exceed Seventeen Million Seven Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand
Dollars ($17,725,000) shall be issued and sold in one or more series pursuant to the
provisions of Act 342, and other applicable statutory provisions, for the purpose of
defraying all or part of the cost of the Project.
2. BOND DETAILS. The bonds shall be designated "Oakland County Oxford Township
Water Supply System Bonds, Series _____," with the year and a letter as determined by
the County Agency to be inserted in the blank in the name of each series of bonds; shall
be issued in one or more series in such aggregate principal amounts as determined by
the County Agency; shall be dated as of the date approved by the County Agency; 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 7% per annum as shall be determined by the County Agency
at the time of sale; shall be payable as to interest on such dates as shall be determined
by the County Agency; and shall be serial bonds and/or term bonds and mature in such
amounts and on such dates and in such years as shall be determined by the County
Agency; provided, however, that the final maturity of a series of bonds shall not be more
than 30 years after the date that such series of bonds is delivered to the initial purchasers
thereof.
3. PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. The principal of and interest on the 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 bond as shown
on the registration books at the close of business on the 15th day of 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 and 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
Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 22, 2005
419
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.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, so long as any
bond is registered in the name of Cede and 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 Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations relating to the bonds. The
County Treasurer and the County Agency are each authorized to sign the Blanket Issuer
Letter of Representations on behalf of the County, in such form as the such officer deems
necessary or appropriate in order to accomplish the issuance of the bonds in accordance
with law and this Resolution.
5. OPTIONAL PRIOR REDEMPTION. The bonds shall be subject to redemption prior to
maturity upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the County Agency.
6. BOND REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT. The County Treasurer shall designate, and
may enter into an agreement with, a bond registrar and paying agent for the bonds which
shall be a bank or trust company located in the State of Michigan which is qualified to act
in such capacity under the laws of the United States of America or the State of Michigan.
The County Treasurer from time to time as required may designate a similarly qualified
successor bond registrar and paying agent.
7. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY OF BONDS. The bonds shall be
executed in the name of the County by the facsimile signatures of the Chairperson of the
Board of Commissioners and the County Clerk and authenticated by the manual
signature of an authorized representative of the bond registrar and paying agent, and the
seal of the County (or a facsimile thereof) shall be impressed or imprinted on the bonds.
After the bonds have been executed and authenticated for delivery to the original
purchaser thereof, they shall be delivered by the County Treasurer to the purchaser upon
receipt of the purchase price. Additional bonds bearing the facsimile signatures of the
Chairperson 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 delivered to
the bond registrar and paying agent for authentication and delivery in connection with the
exchange or transfer of bonds. The bond registrar and paying agent shall indicate on
each bond the date of its authentication.
8. EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF BONDS. Any 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
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 bond.
Each 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 bond
Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 22, 2005
420
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.
Upon the exchange or transfer of any bond, the bond registrar and paying agent on
behalf of the County shall cancel the surrendered bond and shall authenticate and deliver
to the transferee a new bond or bonds of any authorized denomination of the same
aggregate principal amount and maturity date and bearing the same rate of interest as
the surrendered bond. If, at the time the bond registrar and paying agent authenticates
and delivers a new bond pursuant to this section, payment of interest on the bonds is in
default, the bond registrar and paying agent shall endorse upon the new bond the
following: "Payment of interest on this bond is in default. The last date to which interest
has been paid is _________________."
The County and the bond registrar and paying agent may deem and treat the person in
whose name any bond shall be registered upon the books of the County as the absolute
owner of such bond, whether such bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of
receiving payment of the principal of and interest on such 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 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 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 a condition
precedent to the exercise of the privilege of making such exchange or transfer.
The bond registrar and paying agent shall not be required to transfer or exchange bonds
or portions of bonds which have been selected for redemption.

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
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
Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 22, 2005
434
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.

Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund:
1. The Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund (DTRF) was established in accordance with the
provisions of Public Act 206 of 1893 (as amended) for the purpose of paying local taxing
units within the County their respective shares of delinquent ad valorem real property
taxes, in anticipation of the collection of those taxes by the County Treasurer. This policy
statement, which encompasses the precept of self-funding, ensures that utilization of
unrestricted DTRF funds does not impair the functional intent or operational success of
the DTRF as originally established.
2. To that end, at no time shall funds be diverted from the DTRF that would cause the
unrestricted balance to fall below a level that would assure a prompt payment of all
current and future outstanding General Obligation Limited Tax Notes, as well as assure
the continued operation of the DTRF as specified in the preceding paragraph.
3. Penalties and investment interest generated by the DTRF may be transferred, in whole or
in part, to the General Fund of the County upon majority vote of the Board of
Commissioners so long as such transfer(s) meets the provisions of paragraph #2 above.
4. Any and all appropriations from unrestricted DTRF funds, excepting penalties and
investment interest, shall be limited to one-time expenditures, as opposed to recurring
operations.

within a time certain shall require a majority vote of the Board of Commissioners.

a. Interest on each payment will be based on the average monthly rate paid during
the term of the agreement by the agent of the DTRF for that year's outstanding

will be made in accordance with the previously established "Loan of County
Funds Policy" (Miscellaneous Resolution #89276) which requires Board approval
of repayment terms at an interest rate no less than the prevailing six-month
Treasury Bill rate and that such rates shall be computed and compounded
quarterly.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that $2,100,000 in DTRF interest earnings will be transferred to the
General Fund to support General Fund/General Purpose activities.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a Capital and Cooperative Initiatives Revolving Fund (CCIRF) be

to one-time expenditures and require approval of a majority vote of the Board of
Commissioners.

22. The Board of Commissioners may make supplemental appropriations by amending this

excess of those anticipated in the original general appropriations measure become
available due to:
a. An unobligated surplus from prior years becoming available;
b. Current year revenue exceeding original estimate in amounts sufficient enough to
finance increased appropriations. The Board of Commissioners may make a
supplemental appropriation by increasing the dollar amount of an appropriation
item in the original general appropriations measure or by adding additional items.
At the same time the estimated amount from the source of revenue to which the
increase in revenue may be attributed shall be increased, or other source and
amount added in a sum sufficient to equal the supplemental expenditure amount.
In no case may such appropriations cause total estimated expenditures,
including an accrued deficit, to exceed total estimated revenues, including an
unappropriated surplus.
23. Whenever it appears to the County Executive or the Board of Commissioners that actual
and probable revenues in any fund will be less than the estimated revenues upon which
appropriations from such fund were based, the County Executive shall present to the
Board of Commissioners recommendations which, if adopted, will prevent expenditures
from exceeding available revenues for the current fiscal year. Such recommendations
shall include proposals for reducing appropriations, increasing revenues, or both. After
receiving the recommendations of the County Executive for bringing appropriations into
balance with estimated revenues, the Board of Commissioners shall amend the general
appropriations measure to reduce appropriations or shall approve such measures
necessary to provide revenues sufficient to equal appropriations, or both.
24. All appropriations are annual and the unexpended portion shall lapse at year-end.
Encumbrances and appropriations carried forward shall be recorded as a designated
fund balance, and the subsequent year's budget amended to provide authority to
complete these transactions. Appropriations shall not be carried forward for more than
six (6) months into the budget year following the year in which they were originally
appropriated. A status report on Appropriations Carried Forward, as required by

REPORT (MISC. #05225)
BY: Personnel Committee, Greg Jamian, Chairperson
IN RE: RECOMMENDED FISCAL YEAR 2006 GENERAL SALARY INCREASES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Personnel Committee has reviewed the County Executive's recommendation regarding salary issues
for the Fiscal Year 2006 Budget. The County Executive is recommending a two (2%) percent general
salary increase for most non-represented County classifications effective October 1, 2005. This date is
the beginning of the first pay period for Fiscal Year 2006. The Human Resources Department has
presented extensive materials to provide historical data, background information and job market survey
data to support the general salary increase recommendation.
Certain classifications have been made exceptions to the salary grade placement due to severe market
situations, difficulty in recruitment and retention of qualified job candidates or other unique situations. The
Personnel Committee has reviewed the County Executive's recommendation that these classifications
receive a general salary increase of two (2%) percent effective October 1, 2005.
The full-time employees in the Appointed Official classification are not in the salary grade plan. The
Personnel Committee has reviewed the County Executive's recommendation that these classifications
receive a general salary increase of two (2%) percent effective October 1, 2005.
The Appointed Board and Commission Member classification are exceptions to the Salary Grade
Classification and includes: Jury Board Member, Road Commission Chairperson, Road Commissioner,
Social Services Board Chairperson and Social Services Board Member. The County Executive has made
no recommendation for this classification.
The Personnel Committee has reviewed the County Executive's recommendation that Part-time/Hourly
classes, with the exception of the Parks Helper classification, receive a general salary increase of two
(2%) percent effective October 1, 2005.
Parks Helper positions perform routine manual and/or clerical duties assisting higher level employees
involved in the maintenance and operations of the County Park facilities. Seasonal Laborer employees
are often reclassified to Parks Helpers. The County Executive in not recommending that the Seasonal
Laborer Class receive an increase in Fiscal Year 2006.
The County Executive in not recommending a general salary increase for Student, Summer and Seasonal
classifications for Fiscal Year 2006. The Personnel Committee has reviewed the comparison of current
summer salary rates and the Fast Food Survey data that was provided by the Human Resources
Department to support this recommendation.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 22, 2005
453
The Personnel Committee recommends the following actions:
1. Increase the current salary ranges for salary grades 1 - 21 by a general salary increase
of 2% effective October 1, 2005. This date is the beginning of the first pay period for
Fiscal Year 2006.
2. Increase all remaining classifications not represented by bargaining units by a general
salary increase of 2% effective October 1, 2005, including appointed officials, classes
designated as exceptions to salary grades 1 - 21, and part-time/hourly classes, but
excluding:
Circuit, Probate and District Court Judges which are currently at the maximum
rate allowed; and
Commissioners which will be addressed by a separate report; and
Other Elected Officials which will be addressed by a separate report; and
Appointed Board and Commission members; and
Summer, Student, and Seasonal classifications; and
Park Helper classification.
3. Retitle the classification of General Staff Nurse, which is assigned to the Jail to
Correctional Health Nurse.
4. Further, that no transfer of monies is required to fund these increases since sufficient
monies have been budgeted in the departmental salaries and fringe benefit line items.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Personnel Committee, I move the acceptance of the foregoing report.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #05152
BY: Commissioners Eric Wilson, Hugh D. Crawford, Eileen T. Kowall, Helaine Zack
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - CREATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE COORDINATING
COUNCIL
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Jail Population Task Force was created to look into ways to: (a) develop
a jail population Management plan; (b) expedite the processing of criminal cases; and (c) recommend jail
population management policies; and
WHEREAS chronic jail crowding has placed a tremendous burden on Oakland County's criminal justice
system for many years. Oakland County has added close to 350 medium and minimum security level
beds since December 1996, and still has to consistently utilize out-county housing to maintain inmate
population levels to avoid implementation of a jail overcrowding emergency. In 2004, out-county inmate
population averaged 145 inmates per day; and
WHEREAS the National Institute of Corrections recommends comprehensive systemwide planning
(interagency and cross-jurisdictional) to streamline the entire local system of justice, eliminate duplication,
fill service gaps and generally improve the quality of service while controlling costs; and
WHEREAS the consultants from the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) recommended that Oakland
County "develop a collaborative approach with accompanying organization mechanisms to increase
communication, cooperation and coordination of the entire justice system operating within Oakland
County"; and
WHEREAS the NIC consultants recommended that Oakland County establish "a Criminal Justice
Coordinating Committee (CJCC). This will provide the organizational framework and mechanism to allow
key justice system officials to do three things: 1) develop consensus (relying heavily on data) about what
is wrong with the system; 2) develop a vision of what the new, improved system should look like; and 3)
develop and implement policies, programs and operational action plans”; and
WHEREAS a Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee will provide a forum where key justice system
agency officials and other officials of general government may discuss and address justice system issues;
and
WHEREAS the advantages of a Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee include providing for a better
understanding of crime and criminal justice problems, greater cooperation among agencies and units of
local government, clearer objectives and priorities, more effective resource allocation and better quality
criminal justice programs. Taken together, these results can enhance criminal justice system
performance.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
authorizes the creation of the Oakland County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED in accordance with the recommendation from the Jail Population
Management Task Force, participation on the Oakland County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council is
voluntary. Membership is intended to include all justice system stakeholders, including representatives of
the public.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the initial members of the Oakland County Criminal Justice Coordinating
Council shall include:
Oakland County Sheriff
Oakland County Prosecuting Attorney
Oakland County Circuit Court Chief Judge
Oakland County Community Corrections Manager
Oakland County Circuit Court Probation Manager

1 Representative of the Oakland County Police Chiefs
3 Members of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners

absence.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council is to review
the reports of the Oakland County Jail Population Management Task Force, the National Institute of
Corrections and Oakland County staff; conduct a study of how jail space is currently being used and
make policy recommendations on the future utilization of jail space and other correctional sanctions and
options.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council is charged
with developing recommendations and plans to: (1) enhance the management of Oakland County's
criminal justice population, including, but not limited to, issues related to utilization of jail space; (2) foster
communication, cooperation and coordination toward developing a collaborative approach to the entire
justice system operating within Oakland County; (3) provide more effective resource allocation and (4)
improve the quality of criminal justice programs.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council shall submit
its reports, findings and recommendations to Oakland County's elected officials, policymakers, criminal
justice agencies and stakeholders for consideration.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council develop
and adopt bylaws to govern its operations, formalize processes and delineate specific powers and duties
of the Chairperson, Vice Chairperson and members.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners concurs with the
recommendations of both the Jail Population Management Task Force and National Institute of
Corrections that independent, full time staff support is critical to the success of the Oakland County
Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. It is anticipated that the CJCC will submit a request for skilled
professional staff to collect and analyze data and who has an understanding of justice system agencies
and processes.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Jail Population Management Task Force remain in effect until the
Oakland County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council is established.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #05233
BY: Commissioner Helaine Zack, District #22
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - DEFERRAL OF ELECTIONS SYSTEMS LEASE TO
PURCHASE PAYMENTS FROM LOCAL COMMUNITIES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Michigan’s cities and townships are currently in the process of migrating from mechanical
voting machines, paper ballots and punch card voting systems that use “central count” tabulation
technology and are moving toward optical scan voting systems that use “precinct based” tabulation
technology; and
WHEREAS the federal funding available under the Help America Vote Act of 2002 provides
unprecedented opportunities for improvements in Michigan’s elections system; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Legislature adopted legislation in 2002 – calling for the implementation of a
statewide, uniform voting system (PA 91 of 2002). The legislation directed the Secretary of State to
proceed with the implementation of a statewide, uniform voting system after the selection of the voting
system best suited for the State’s needs; and
WHEREAS the Michigan Secretary of State has reported that the state and local communities are eligible
for approximately $9.9 million under Section 101 of the Help America Vote Act; and
WHEREAS prior to the enactment of HAVA legislation, Oakland County was pro-active and assisted local
communities in acquiring new precinct-based optical scan voting systems at an affordable cost by
entering into Lease to Purchase Agreements to provide voting equipment directly to local cities, villages
and townships; and
WHEREAS in November 2004, the Michigan Secretary of State issued a memo indicating that the local
jurisdictions that purchased a new precinct-based optical scan voting system after November 2000 and
before August 2003 are eligible for reimbursement under HAVA; and
WHEREAS some local communities in Oakland County are eligible for HAVA reimbursements for the
older voting systems acquired through the Lease to Purchase Agreement with Oakland; and
WHEREAS because of the terms of the Elections Systems Lease to Purchase Agreement, the local
jurisdictions are still responsible for lease payments that could extend into 2007 for the older voting
equipment which is no longer in compliance with the State's HAVA specifications; and
WHEREAS this scenario places local communities at an unfair disadvantage, especially during fiscally
challenging times, of being obligated to make payments on voting equipment that can not be used.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
authorizes the terms of the Elections Systems Lease to Purchase Agreements entered into with local
communities to be modified to allow a deferral of current lease payments until September 30, 2006, in
anticipation that the State Bureau of Elections and Secretary of State's Office will be processing
reimbursements to local jurisdictions within that timeframe.
Commissioners Minutes Continued. September 22, 2005
466
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the State Bureau
of Elections and Secretary of State's Office to expeditiously process the reimbursements to Oakland
County's cities, villages and townships which acquired optical scan voting systems after November 2000
and before August 2003 that are eligible for reimbursement in accordance with the Help America Vote
Act.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
