IN RE: COUNTY EXECUTIVE - EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND PREPAREDNESS – ACCEPTANCE
FOR 2006 STATE HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM – AMENDMENT 1
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XII-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed the above referenced
resolution and finds:
1. Funding was released from the United States Department of Homeland Security to the State of
Michigan for the 2006 Homeland Security Program per Miscellaneous Resolution #06246, in the
amount of $18,557,393. This Amendment reduces the original award from $18,557,393 to
$16,547,369 and relieves Oakland County of its fiduciary responsibilities to the City of Detroit.
The City of Detroit has entered into an agreement with the Michigan State Police, Emergency
Management Division, to administer all funds allocated to them by the Region 2, Homeland
Security Board.
2. The grant period is from July 1, 2006 thru June 30, 2009.
3. The original political subdivision within Region 2 (City of Detroit, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St
Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne Counties) were required to sign an Interlocal Funding Agreement
with Oakland County, who serves as fiduciary agent for Region 2, before funds could be
expended on their behalf.
4. The amended 2006 State Homeland Security Grant award to Oakland County serving as regional
fiduciary will be reduced to $1,957,170 for the State Homeland Security Grant Program,
$1,177,308 for the Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program, and $13,412,891 for the
Urban Area Security initiative, for a total of $16,547,369 and relieves Oakland County of fiduciary
responsibilities to the City of Detroit.

5. No budget amendment is recommended as the County was only required to budget funds related
to the cost of staff for overseeing the original grant award of $18,557,393.

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – ESTABLISH OAKLAND COUNTY SENIORS STUDY GROUP
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the first Baby Boomers, who were born between 1946 and 1964, begin qualifying for Social
Security retirement benefits in 2008. This has been referred to as the “Silver Tsunami” that is about to hit
Oakland County; and
WHEREAS it is projected that Oakland County will experience an unprecedented older adult population
growth, and the number of seniors will double by 2030; and
WHEREAS it is anticipated that by 2020, 29 of Oakland County’s 61 communities will have more seniors
over the age of 65 than school-age children; and
WHEREAS surveys indicate that 59% of Baby Boomers plan to relocate in their retirement years. This
could be a devastating loss to local communities, Oakland County, our region and the State of Michigan;
and
WHEREAS according to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median income for an Oakland County
householder age 65 and older in 2006 was $38,838, most of which is income from social security, a
pension, or investment earnings that are imported into our local economy; and on average seniors spend
92% of their monthly income each month; and
WHEREAS it is incumbent upon community leaders to be proactive in addressing this impending senior
population boom by being prepared to provide services and create conditions that will encourage older
adults to remain in and relocate to Oakland County and our region; and
WHEREAS it would be beneficial for the Oakland County Commissioners and Oakland County Executive
Administration to work with service providers and local communities to assess the needs of senior citizens
and prepare a county-wide strategic plan to create “Elder-Friendly” communities that are sensitive to the
needs of older adults, and offer a social and physical infrastructure that makes older adults want to
remain in Oakland County throughout their retirement years.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
establishes an Oakland County Seniors Study Group for the purpose of assessing the current and future
needs of a growing older adult population in Oakland County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Seniors Study Group is to recommend a strategic
plan that identifies existing, as well as, needed resources throughout Oakland County which will enable
the County and local communities to provide “Elder-Friendly” services that are accessible and affordable,
including, but not limited to: housing options; mobility features, like public transportation and walkable
areas; attractive social, recreational, and leisure activities; opportunities for civic engagement; and a
strong safety net of social services with choices to support senior independence.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the membership of the Oakland County Seniors Study Group should
include:

disorders; and

employers and society; and

WHEREAS support for Miscellaneous Resolution #08180 and Miscellaneous Resolution #08181 was
premised on the Board’s appreciation of the CJCC’s efforts to devise and implement programs to
successfully address chronic jail overcrowding; and
WHEREAS among the provisions articulated in Miscellaneous Resolution #08181 was the recognition
that legislative and regulatory revisions would be necessary to effectuate the concepts envisioned by the
CJCC to address the DWLS segment of the County’s jail population; and
WHEREAS Senate Bill 1066, as passed by the Michigan Senate on September 18, 2008, would amend
the Michigan Vehicle Code to allow individuals charged with certain driving offenses to attend a basic
driver improvement course; and
WHEREAS Senate Bill 1066 further provides that upon successful completion of a basic driver
improvement course, the Secretary of State would neither enter the points corresponding to the
individual’s driving violation nor make information concerning that violation available to any insurance
company; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners supports this legislative effort to create this and other diversion
programs designed to improve safety on state roads and highways, educate offenders, decrease court

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
supports Senate Bill 1066 as passed by the Senate and encourages its passage in the Michigan House.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County Clerk is hereby directed to forward copies of this adopted

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #08256
BY: Bill Bullard, Jr., District #2; Helaine Zack, District #22; Mattie Hatchett, District #10
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT FOR HOUSE BILL 6455 – AMENDMENTS TO
THE MICHIGAN VEHICLE CODE TO ALLOW FOR REINSTATEMENT OF DRIVER’S LICENSE FOR
THOSE WITH OUTSTANDING DRIVER RESPONSIBILITY FEES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS upon recommendation of Oakland County’s Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC), on
October 2, 2008, this Board of Commissioner’s adopted Miscellaneous Resolution #08180 and
Miscellaneous Resolution #08181, which among other things expressed the Board’s support to extend
the Pilot Tether Program, created by Miscellaneous Resolution #07226, and further to create a program
to address the Driving While License Suspended (DWLS) segment of the population in the Oakland
County Jail; and
WHEREAS support for Miscellaneous Resolution #08180 and Miscellaneous Resolution #08181 was
premised on the Board’s appreciation of the CJCC’s efforts to devise and implement programs to
successfully address chronic jail overcrowding; and
WHEREAS among the provisions articulated in Miscellaneous Resolution #08181 was the recognition
that legislative and regulatory revisions would be necessary to effectuate the concepts envisioned by the
CJCC to address the DWLS segment of the County’s jail population; and
WHEREAS House Bill 6455, as passed by a vote of 106 – 0 in the Michigan House on September 25,
2008, would amend the Michigan Vehicle Code to allow for the reinstatement of the driver’s license of a
person whose license was denied, suspended, or revoked solely due to a failure to pay driver

responsibility fees, by establishing a payment plan to pay said fees; however, if the driver failed to make
timely payments, the person’s license would then be suspended; and
WHEREAS House Bill 6455 further amends provisions in the Michigan Vehicle Code concerning plans for
the payment of driver responsibility fees and driver license reinstatement fees to allow the Secretary of
State to authorize installment payments for any amount owed, said payments to be paid for up to 24
months. (Current law only allows the Secretary of State to authorize installment payments for a driver
who owes $500.00 or more, and the full amount must be paid within 12 months.); and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners supports this legislative effort to help drivers who have lost their
driving privileges solely because they cannot pay large driver responsibility fees and also allow individuals
who owe smaller amounts in driver responsibility and license reinstatement fees to pay them over a
longer period of time, i.e., 24 months instead of 12; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners finds that House Bill 6455 is consistent with the CJCC’s efforts
to reduce chronic jail overcrowding by focusing attention on the DWLS segment of the County’s jail
population.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
supports House Bill 6455, as passed by the House, and encourages its passage in the Michigan Senate.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County Clerk is hereby directed to send a copy of this resolution to
the Secretary of State, the Michigan Senate, the Michigan House, the Oakland County Criminal Justice
Coordinating Council, the Oakland County delegation to the Michigan Legislature, the Michigan
Association of Counties, and Oakland County’s lobbyists.
Chairperson, I move adoption of the foregoing resolution.
