WHEREAS the 29th House District seat represents the communities of Pontiac and Auburn Hills. These
vital communities will go without representation for nearly a year if a special election is not held until the
regularly scheduled Primary and General Elections; and
WHEREAS in addition to over 20,000 residents, Auburn Hills is home to DaimlerChrysler, Oakland
Community College, Baker College, Oakland University and four school districts; and
WHEREAS in addition to the 50,000 residents, Pontiac has a workforce of 35,000 and a school district
that enrolls over 10,000 students; and
WHEREAS many high-tech and auto industry-related companies are members of Automation Alley which
is significantly linked to the communities of Pontiac and Auburn Hills, with many global corporations being
located within these borders; and
WHEREAS although there is a cost associated with holding a special election as early as March, both the
Oakland Press and House Speaker Craig DeRoche have rightfully pointed out that a year is too long for
communities to wait for representation; and
WHEREAS holding a special election to fill a vacancy is not unprecedented in Oakland County. The
resignation of State Senator Mike Rogers was filled at a special election held on March 20, 2001, and a
vacancy created by the January 1999 resignation of State Senator Michael Bouchard was filled at a
special election held on March 16, 1999; and
WHEREAS under the Michigan Constitution and the Michigan Election Law, the decision to call for a
special election to fill a vacancy in the office of a state representative or state senator, as well as, the
selection of dates for a special election are left to the discretion of the Governor.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby urges
the Governor to reconsider the previous decision and schedule a special election to fill the vacancy for
the 29th House District seat in March 2006, to ensure that the residents, taxpayers, businesses, schools
and communities within the City of Pontiac and the City of Auburn Hills are represented in the State
Legislature by a duly elected State Representative.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners requests the Oakland
County Clerk to forward copies of this adopted resolution to Governor Jennifer Granholm, House Speaker
Craig DeRoche, the City of Pontiac, the City of Auburn Hills, Mayor Clarence Phillips, Oakland County's
Legislative Lobbyists and the Oakland County delegation to the State Legislature.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #05277
BY: Eric Coleman, District #23
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - AUTHORIZATION TO LAUNCH NACO'S PRESCRIPTION
DISCOUNT CARD PROGRAM IN OAKLAND COUNTY
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS recognizing that the rising cost of prescription drugs coupled with the growing population of
the uninsured has created a crisis for many citizens in our country, the National Association of Counties
(NACo) has established a free discount card program to enable local counties to assist their residents by
establishing a program that offers savings off of the retail price of commonly prescribed drugs; and
WHEREAS under this program, the overall average savings is 20%. The savings range from 13% to 35%
on purchases of drugs at a local pharmacy and up to 50% on mail order purchases. The average savings
is $12.38 per prescription in the NACo program; and
WHEREAS a significant advantage of these discount drug cards is that they may be used by all county
residents, regardless of age, income, or existing health coverage; and
WHEREAS the NACo prescription drug discount card offers significant savings for seniors, the uninsured
and underinsured residents of our county. Residents do not have to be Medicare beneficiaries to be
eligible for this program; and
WHEREAS the NACo prescription drug discount card also affords those fortunate enough to have
prescription coverage with the added benefit of using the card to save money on drugs that are not
currently covered by their health plan; and
WHEREAS the NACo prescription drug discount card offers family coverage with just one card, which
may be used any time that a prescription is not covered by insurance. There are no restrictions and no
limits on how many times the card may be used; and
WHEREAS a national network of more than 57,000 participating retail pharmacies will honor the NACo
prescription discount card; and

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #06069
BY: Commissioner Eric Coleman, District #23
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - CAMPAIGN TO PREVENT THE EXPLOITATION OF
CHILDREN
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS according to the U.S. Department of Justice, in a one-year period, an estimated 1.6 million
children either ran away from or were thrown out of their homes; and
WHEREAS an estimated 40,000 of these children will be involved in some form of sexual exploitation and
victimization by predators; and
WHEREAS many child victims of prostitution are abandoned or neglected children, who have not been
reported missing to law enforcement or have run away from their homes or foster care; and
WHEREAS the average age at which a child enters into prostitution is 14 years old. However, children as
young as 9 years old are being exploited; and
WHEREAS although hundreds of thousands of children have been lured into prostitution, it is far too often
overlooked that a child can never consent to prostitution - it is always exploitation; and
WHEREAS though the prostitution of female children is more widely publicized, male children are also
susceptible to the same dangers as females in this world of exploitation; and
WHEREAS the dangers that children face as a result of prostitution are both immediate and long-term.
Most immediate is the physical, mental and emotional violence that these once innocent children
experience at the hands of pimps, madams and customers. Long-term dangers include health problems,
drug additions, adverse psychological effects and even death; and
WHEREAS the most tangible consequence for children involved in prostitution is the extremely high
probability of suffering violent assault. Prostituted children are often afraid to report these crimes to law
enforcement because they are embarrassed and fearful that the charges would not be taken seriously or
that they may be arrested themselves; and
WHEREAS housing instability, poverty, untreated psychological and emotional problems, substance
abuse, educational and vocational failure and major problems at home have all been cited as common
precipitating factors in the lives of exploited children; and
WHEREAS the children's young age, inadequate education and lack of the necessary street sense to
survive alone all contribute to them resorting to engaging in exchanging sex for food, money, shelter,
drugs or protection; and
WHEREAS the National Association of Counties' (NACo) Large Urban County Caucus (LUCC) and the
National Center for Missing and exploited Children (NCMEC) have partnered for a national campaign to
promote child safety and help prevent the commercial child sexual exploitation; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 23, 2006
155
WHEREAS this national campaign is being launched here in Oakland County to heighten the public
awareness of child sexual exploitation and help give communities across the United States effective
strategies and tools to better safeguard their children; and
WHEREAS the national campaign urges key stakeholders within a community to begin dialogues on
topics related to child sexual exploitation and advocating for the prevention of such victimization; and
WHEREAS local communities are requested to join in demonstrating their commitment to protecting
children and to send a clear message to child sexual offenders that the criminal and sexual victimization
of children will not be tolerated.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby joins
with the National Association of Counties' (NACo) Large Urban County Caucus (LUCC) and the National
Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) to initiate a campaign dedicated to preventing
commercial child sexual exploitation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby establishes a
Task Force to establish the framework for a comprehensive strategy to address child sexual exploitation
and engage in a public awareness campaign in Oakland County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the participation of
key stakeholders from Oakland County's Family Court System, Sheriff's Office, local law enforcement,
Prosecutor's Office, health and human services, victim service agencies and community organizations on
the Task Force.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners designate
Commissioner Eric Coleman as Chairperson of the Task Force and encourages all Commissioners and
representatives from County departments that share an interest in preventing these crimes against
children to join in this effort.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds is requested to forward
copies of this adopted resolution to the National Association of Counties, NACo's Large Urban County
Caucus, the Michigan Association of Counties, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited
Children.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT FOR BILL RESTRICTING PROTESTS AT
FUNERALS
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS we join with citizens across the nation in honoring our brave military men and women who
each day place themselves in harms way to protect the freedom of every American and our Nation as a
whole; and
WHEREAS we have tremendous gratitude for the courage and selflessness exemplified by the members
of the armed forces, at home and abroad; and
WHEREAS when a member of the armed forces gives the ultimate sacrifice and dies in the line of duty,
the thoughts and prayers of the entire Nation are with the family of the deceased at such an
extraordinarily difficult time; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 23, 2006
156
WHEREAS the solemn private gathering of families peacefully mourning the loss of their husbands,
wives, sons or daughters, who died fighting for our nation, are violated when funeral ceremonies are
targeted for hateful picketing and public demonstrations; and
WHEREAS small groups from the Westboro Baptist Church, in Topeka, Kansas have protested at
funerals for servicemen who were stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. In several states, including Michigan,
this congregation's members have subjected grieving families to disrespectful verbal attacks, threats and
intimidation; and
WHEREAS to ensure that freedom and dignity are preserved and protected, U.S. Congressman Mike
Rogers from Michigan, is introducing legislation that will restrict protests at funerals at national cemeteries
for 60 minutes before or after a funeral, and will restrict any protests to remain 500 feet or more from the
grave site or individuals that they are protesting; and
WHEREAS Senate Bill 2452 - the Dignity for Military Funerals Act of 2006, has been introduced in the
United States Senate to prohibit picketing at the funerals of members and former members of the armed
forces; and
WHEREAS the federal legislation will prohibit any state or local unit of government from issuing a permit
allowing, or otherwise authorizing, picketing during the funeral of a member or former member of the
armed forces. The proposed legislation will make it unlawful for any person to engage in picketing at the
funeral of a member or former member of the armed forces; and
WHEREAS at least 17 state legislatures this year have considered or already passed laws against
protesting at funerals.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby upholds
the principle that our fallen military personnel should be treated with honor and respect and that their
grieving families should have the undisturbed freedom to bury their loved ones - who so nobly served our
Country - in peace and dignity.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby supports federal
and state legislation to restrict protests at the funerals of military personnel and urges our federal and
State of Michigan legislatures to adopt such legislation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk is requested to forward copies of this
adopted resolution to Congressman Mike Rogers, the President of the United States, the Oakland County
delegation to the United States House and Senate, the Governor of the State of Michigan, the Oakland
County delegation to the Michigan Legislature, the Michigan Association of Counties, the National
Association of Counties, and the Oakland County lobbyists.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - AFFIRM SUPPORT FOR AFFIRMATIVE ACTION POLICIES
IN OAKLAND COUNTY AND MICHIGAN
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS taking action to end discrimination is the challenge and responsibility of every single person in
our society, as well as of the institutions and organizations which have such a large impact on our lives;
and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. March 23, 2006
157
WHEREAS it is important that our democratic institutions mirror the populations they serve, and that
discrimination be ended; and
WHEREAS affirmative action programs, including recruitment, outreach, and training initiatives offered to
qualified women and minorities remedy past discrimination, fight present day disparities, and promote
diversity in our society; and
WHEREAS affirmative action policies have been effective in many areas of public life because they
opened up opportunities for people who would not otherwise have them; and
WHEREAS affirmative action is NOT a quota system, whereby a specific outcome is mandated, but rather
a policy that advocates action for reaching a goal that eliminates inequities; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners opposes discrimination and supports programs
to advance equal opportunity; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners passed Miscellaneous Resolution #9947 in
1980, and reaffirmed it by Miscellaneous Resolution #84119 in 1984 and #88080 in 1988, adopted an
affirmative action policy committing the County to a goal of having in its workforce the number of females
and minorities equal to the representation in the civilian labor market; and
WHEREAS the current statement of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action Policy adopted by the
Board of Commission binds all county officials, department heads and mangers, especially those with
responsibility for selection, training, placement, and supervision of employees, to positively and
affirmatively carry out all personal related actions in such a manner so as to bring about the above
mentioned goal; and
WHEREAS banning affirmative action in Michigan would mean an end to:
1. Outreach programs that encourage minorities and women to enter fields such as police,
fire fighting, and engineering or attend college.
2. Programs to encourage women and minorities to stay in school and prepare for good-
paying jobs in engineering, science, or even construction and law enforcement.
3. Programs to encourage men to become teachers or nurses, where they are
underrepresented and needed to meet societal goals.
4. Affirmative action goals for hiring in state and local government.
5. Gender and minority based representation on boards and commissions, including
advisory boards with corrections, education, and public health.
WHEREAS banning affirmative action in Michigan threatens to reverse the social progress we have
gained so far through affirmative action, and will immediately end all local affirmative action policies in
Oakland County that promote justice, diversity and equal opportunity; and
WHEREAS banning affirmative action in Michigan will send a chilling message to the corporate world
across America and the world, who through Automation alley and the Emerging Sectors Initiative we seek
to locate here in Oakland County, Michigan.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby affirm our
support for affirmative action policies that promote diversity and help remedy societal inequities; and
BE IT FUTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports continuation of
our county’s public-sector affirmative action program and opposes any effort that would ban affirmative
action policies in Michigan and Oakland County; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be distributed to all Oakland County media
outlets, all Oakland County city’s, villages, and townships, the Michigan Association of Counties, and all
elected officials that serve Oakland County.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
