STORE “IN CASE OF EMERGENCY” (“ICE”) LISTINGS ON THEIR DEVICES

WHEREAS a global campaign began in 2005 calling for individuals to program an “In Case of
Emergency” contact (or ICE for short) into their mobile phones; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 7, 2009
249
WHEREAS the “ICE” telephone programming enables the first responders, such as paramedics,
firefighters and police officers, to identify victims and contact their relatives or close friends in order to
obtain important medical information; and
WHEREAS the American College of Emergency physicians recommends that people with cellular phones
add "ICE" entries into their cell phone address books to assist medical professionals in notifying the
person's emergency contacts and to obtain critical medical information when a patient arrives
unconscious or unable to answer questions; and
WHEREAS the process of programming an “ICE” contact in the memory of a cell phone is simple:
1. CHOOSE a responsible person.
2. INFORM this person that they are your emergency contact and then make sure they have on
hand all of the information a medic might need: a list of the medications you are taking, all of your
known allergies (especially to medications and food), and names and phone numbers of your
doctors.
3. ADD this person’s contact info into your cell phone using the heading/title ICE.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
recognizes the importance of educating mobile telephone users and emergency response personnel on
how the “In Case of Emergency” (ICE) listing can be a source of valuable information in the case of an
emergency.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the Oakland
County departments, local public safety officials, hospitals and schools to participate in process of
educating cell phone users on programming “ICE” numbers into their address books as a means to
provide critical medical information.

adopted resolution to the Oakland County Executive, the Oakland County Sheriff, the Oakland County
Health Division, Oakland County Intermediate School District, Oakland County’s cities, villages and

IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSITION TO UNFUNDED HAVA MANDATES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The General Government Committee, having considered the above titled resolution on April 27, 2009,
recommends that the resolution be adopted.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the acceptance of the foregoing
report.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #09078
BY: Commissioner Shelley G. Taub, District #16
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OPPOSITION TO UNFUNDED HAVA MANDATES
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA), passed in 2002, mandated the replacement of all
voting systems in Oakland County; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 7, 2009
250
WHEREAS Congress funded the initial purchase of the equipment and start up of this program, but did
not provide the long term funding source of the replacement and maintenance of this equipment; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners adopted Miscellaneous Resolution #05036 to
apply to the Michigan Secretary of State for a Help America Vote Act (HAVA) Grant for one ES&S M100
optical scan tabulator, one AutoMARK accessible voting system and related software to comply with
HAVA; and
WHEREAS Congress also created a new federal “Election Assistance Commission (EAC)” to monitor the
usage of HAVA funds by states and local government. It was also created in the spirit of being a
watchdog, advocate and to set standards for the protection of the nation’s voters – keeping a close on
eye on critical issues for the elections process. The quality and accuracy of nation’s voting equipment is
one of those critical issues; and
WHEREAS each of the 51 municipalities in Oakland County also applied to the Michigan Secretary of
State for HAVA funds to obtain HAVA mandated optical scan voting equipment, accessible voting
systems and related software; and
WHEREAS it is estimated that Oakland County will be responsible for $50,000 annually in licensing,
customer support and technical assistance fees to service and maintain HAVA related software and
equipment for countywide tabulation; and
WHEREAS the new voting equipment provided by HAVA funds has many times added complications to
the election process that have lead to greater costs for local governments. In addition, no long term
maintenance process for this equipment was provided for or funded by the HAVA funds. While the federal
mandates for elections as required by HAVA continue, the costs associated with those mandates are now
being increasingly born by local governments who are already having very difficult budget challenges;
and
WHEREAS each local jurisdiction is responsible for all costs associated with technical maintenance of the
voting equipment and extended warranties for equipment secured with HAVA funding; and
WHEREAS it is estimated that Oakland County’s local jurisdictions could be potentially responsible for an
estimated $262,000 to service and maintain HAVA mandated voting equipment; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County Board of Commissioners recognizes that local jurisdictions are struggling
to comply with these unfunded HAVA mandates.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the
federal government to provide additional Help America Vote Act (HAVA) resources for technical
maintenance and equipment upgrades of HAVA mandated election equipment; including:
1. Providing long term financial support to local governments across the country to provide
maintenance and new equipment replacement and repairs.
2. Granting greater power and funding to the federal Election Assistance Commission to ensure we
have an effective watchdog of our elections system.
3. Respecting local units of governments by resisting the further imposition of unfunded mandates.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk is requested to forward copies of this
adopted resolution to the HAVA founded Election Assistance Commission, Michigan’s Secretary of State,
Oakland County’s delegation to the State and Federal legislatures, the Oakland County Clerk/Register of
Deeds and Oakland County Director of Elections.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #09115
BY: Commissioner Eric Coleman, District #23
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – OBSERVANCE OF NATIONAL MISSING CHILDREN’S DAY
ON MAY 25TH AND THE “TAKE 25” INITIATIVE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the “Take 25” campaign was launched in 2007 by the National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children (NCMEC) as an initiative to encourage parents and educators to take 25 minutes on
May 25th to talk to children about ways to be safer; and
WHEREAS the roots of National Missing Children's Day goes back to the 1970s and 1980s, when a
number of high profile child abductions revealed there existed no organized plans and efforts to find
missing children. The first case was Etan Patz who disappeared from a New York City street while on his
way to school, on May 25, 1979; and
WHEREAS the United States Department of Justice estimates that more than 50,000 children will be
victims of non-family abductions each year. While the rate of recovery in such kidnappings is
approximately 99 percent, the trauma of abduction affects far too many. No young person in America
should ever know the terror of abduction, and no family should ever have to experience the nightmare of
having a loved one suddenly taken; and
WHEREAS in 1983, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed May 25 as National Missing Children’s Day.
Each administration since has honored this annual reminder to the nation to renew its efforts to reunite
missing children with their families and make child protection a national priority; and
WHEREAS National Missing Children’s Day is a reminder to all parents and guardians of the need for
high-quality photographs of their children for use in case of an emergency, and to remind everyone to pay
close attention to the posters and photographs of missing children; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. May 7, 2009
274
WHEREAS on National Missing Children's Day we join with families, law enforcement officials, and child
advocates to highlight our commitment to stopping the abduction and exploitation of children. During this
year's observance, we celebrate the progress we have made in safeguarding children, and we renew our
dedication to protecting our most vulnerable citizens and our most valuable resources; and
WHEREAS not just on Missing Children’s Day, but every day each of us, in our own way, must do all we
can to bring our missing children home.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
proclaims May 25, 2009, as National Missing Children's Day in Oakland County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners calls upon Oakland
County families, law enforcement officials, and child advocates to join in commemorating this observance
by participating in the “Take 25” initiative and celebrating those children who have been returned to their
loved ones, remembering those young people who are missing, and continuing to work together on every
front to protect our children from those who would seek to harm them.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk is requested to forward copies of this
adopted resolution to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Oakland County
Child Abuse and Neglect Council.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
