architects, engineers, corporate and academic researchers, designers, builders, contractors, landscapers
and construction material suppliers from across the building industry who work to promote buildings that
are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to live and work; and
WHEREAS the USGBC has developed the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
Green Building Rating System, which is a national consensus-based, market-driven building rating
system designed to rate the sustainability of building projects and implement green building practices.
This is a leading-edge system for designing, constructing and certifying the world’s greenest and best
buildings, while promoting sustainable development; and
WHEREAS the new court house to be constructed for the 52nd District Court in Northwestern Oakland
County offers Oakland County the opportunity to build a demonstration project for a green building that is
certified by the LEED program; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 27, 2006
188
WHEREAS a green building project at the court house is a worthwhile investment and will save the
county a great deal of money over the life of the building, bringing Oakland County into the growing field
of green development and LEED certification; and
WHEREAS this green building demonstration project will provide a showcase for county efforts to
increase the visibility of the Emerging Sectors program and reduce our building costs; and
WHEREAS the green building demonstration project would provide long term benefits to the county in the
form of lower utility bills for the life of the building, a 2-to-3 times longer life for the roof before
replacement is needed, a reduction of the heat island affect of the building and reduced storm water
runoff from the roof; and
WHEREAS additional applications within the green building project could include a green park lot - using
permeable pavement and bio-swales to reduce runoff to almost zero; and
WHEREAS grants are available through the Department of Environmental Quality for non-point pollution
mitigation, which would significantly offset the construction costs if approved; and
WHEREAS additional grants are available for projects such as geothermal heating/cooling systems and
solar and/or hydrogen power generation. These methods of heating and cooling save considerable funds
and would set an excellent example for future commercial development in Oakland County.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
recognizes the benefits of green building project to reduce building costs, while simultaneously
emphasizing state of the art strategies for sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency,
materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners requests Facilities
Management to work with the Fiscal Services' Grant Administrator and Drain Commissioner's office to
identify and apply for federal and state grants that would support the 52nd District Court having a green
roof, green parking lot and other sustainable building features.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that grant revenues generated for the green building project will reduce
construction and maintenance costs. These cost savings should be dedicated towards offsetting the costs
for LEED certification as overseen by the U.S. Green Building Council and to provide a solar power
system integrated into the building exterior and/or an on-site hydrogen power system.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

CHILDREN
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:

with the recommendation that the resolution be adopted.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Public Services Committee, I move acceptance of the foregoing report.
PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE
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
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
Commissioners Minutes Continued. April 27, 2006
190
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.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #06087
BY: Commissioners Eileen Kowall, Hugh Crawford
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - OPPOSITION TO K-16 SPENDING MANDATE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the American School Board Journal released their “Educational Vital Signs” report indicating
that the state of Michigan ranks second only to Vermont in amount of state budget dedicated to
education, with 31.5%, while the national average in 21.7%; and
WHEREAS the same report ranked Michigan 7th for dedication of administrative funding per pupil, but
No. 1 outside of the Eastern Seaboard and Alaska; and
WHEREAS between 1994 and 2004 appropriations for K-12 education increased by 42.9%, while
enrollment increased by just 5%. At the same time, revenue sharing funds for cities, townships and
counties went up by just 11%; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners is very supportive of fair funding for educational
resources for Michigan’s students as a means to a promising future and a thriving quality of life; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners is equally supportive of fair funding of critical
emergency, local public health and public safety programs in order to protect the health, safety, welfare
and quality of life of Michigan’s citizens; and
WHEREAS according to a recent MSUE/MACAO survey, counties are required on average to provide
over $1 billion worth of state mandated services annually, but are only reimbursed from the state on the
average of about 55%; and
WHEREAS the State Legislature and Governor are obligated to provide funding for Michigan's counties
as they come back into revenue sharing beginning in Fiscal Year 2008, as part of means for counties to
provide these state mandated, critical services; and
WHEREAS if the K -16 mandate is passed, it will cost Michigan over $1 billion in additional dollars in
Fiscal Year 2007 alone, and with locked in annual inflationary increases would surely cut into funding for
revenue sharing, Medicaid and other critical services counties and Michigan’s citizens depend upon.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED the Oakland County Board of Commissioners is opposed to a
guaranteed educational inflationary increase which favors the educational sector at the expense of all
other public sectors and that would prevent counties from funding critical mandated services.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Board of Commissioners’
lobbyist, the Michigan State Legislature and the Governor.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
