A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much
all
right.
Let's
all
stand
for
the
pledge
of
pledge
of
allegiance
to
the
flag,
commissioner
Whiteford.
If
you
could
do
the
honors
and
lead
us,
please,
the
United
States
of
America
and
to
the
Republic
for
which
it
stands.
One
nation
under
God
indivisible
with
liberty
and
justice
for
all
right.
So
next
up
is
our
approval
of
the
minutes.
Did
for
March
15th.
Are
there
any
corrections
to
the
minutes.
A
D
A
All
right,
very
good.
Thank
you.
All
right,
I
will
now
accept
a
motion
to
approve
the
agenda
as
presented
for
today.
A
A
Right,
thank
you
very
much.
Moving
on
next,
we
have
public
comment.
Is
there
anyone
from
the
public
who
like
to
address
the
committee
to
speak
about
any
items
on
the
agenda
today.
A
A
Right
perfect,
thank
you
all
right.
Moving
on
next
we
have
Department
recommendations.
8A.
We
have
Indigent
defense
application
to
Michigan
Indigent
defense,
commission
midc
for
Indigent
criminal
defense
Services.
If
I
get
a
motion,
please
a
little
bit
all
right.
E
E
E
So
if
you
need
to
cut
me
off
and
just
vote
on
this
thing
by
all
means,
don't
hesitate
to
foreign,
so
I'm
going
to
start
well,
while
Pam's
pulling
this
up
that
every
year
we
have
to
come
to
this
committee
and
ultimately,
the
full
board
to
apply
for
and
then
eventually
accept
a
grant
from
the
state
to
fund
our
Indigent
defense
system.
So
that's
what
we're
doing
today!
This
is
our
yearly
Grant.
We're
statutorily
required
to
do
this.
Every
year.
E
There's
a
state
statute
called
the
midc
Act
and
the
midc
is
a
branch
of
state
government
under
Department
of
Licensing
and
Regulatory
Affairs.
They
set
standards
that
we
have
to
comply
with,
and
then
we
tell
them
in
effect,
this
is
how
much
money
we
will
need
to
comply
with
those
standards
and
the
state
is
supposed
to
give
us
a
grant
in
that
amount
of
money.
E
These
are
our
approximate
monthly
appointment
numbers
just
so
you
can
get
an
idea
of
how
busy
our
system
is.
This
is
monthly,
so
we
generate
about
20
Capital
felony
appointments
a
month.
Those
are
felonies
that
are
punishable
by
life
in
prison,
350,
non-capital,
felony
appointments,
125,
probation
violation,
appointments
and
250
misdemeanor
appointments,
and
we
also
provide
an
arraignment
attorney
every
day
in
each
of
the
divisions
of
the
52nd
district
court
and
three
daily
arraignment
attorneys
in
the
Oakland
County
Jail
to
handle
arraignments
in
all
of
the
courts
throughout
Oakland
County.
E
So
this
is
a
very
busy.
We've
got
a
lot
of
people
who
are
very
busy
every
day.
E
We
also
provide
expert
and
investigator
funding
in
our
system.
So
this
is
has
been
a
change
within
the
last
couple
years
that
all
requests
for
experts
or
investigators
are
centralized
in
our
office
in
Indigent
defense
Services.
E
Just
to
give
you
a
historical
sort
of
comparison
for
FY
22,
we
had
34
requests
for
investigators
for
about
thirty
four
thousand
dollars.
That's
all
of
FY
22
already
in
FY
23
we're
at
37
requests
and
re
have
hit
that
34
000.,
so
I'm
expecting
us
to
be,
if
not
quite
double
this
year,
pretty
close
and
so
we're
getting
a
lot
of
money
out
the
door
for
that
when
it
comes
to
experts
last
year,
FY
2245
requests
with
150
000
committed
and
already
this
fiscal
year,
we're
at
33
requests
92
thousand
dollars.
E
The
reason
that
we
exist
in
Indigent
defense
Services
is
midc
standard
five,
which
took
effect
in
the
fall
of
2021.
all
of
the
functions
that
I
just
talked
about
from
appointing
attorneys
providing
expert
and
investigator
funding.
All
of
that
used
to
be
under
the
control
of
the
Court.
So
if
it
was
a
felony
case,
Circuit
Court
had
to
appoint
the
attorneys
had
to
pay
for
it
out
of
their
budget.
If
it
was
a
district
court,
same
thing,
District
Court
paid
for
it.
E
Right
now,
we've
got
about
175
attorneys
on
that
roster,
and
what
we're
moving
to
now
is
a
hybrid
model
where
the
vast
majority
of
our
cases
are
still
going
to
be
handled
by
that
independent
roster
of
attorneys,
but
we've
also
created
an
internal
public
defender's
office,
which
is
going
to
be
staffed
by
Oakland
County
employees,
who
will
take
on
a
percentage
of
that
caseload
right
now,
given
the
Staffing
level
that
we
anticipate
that
they'll
have
this
year,
which
will
be
about
five
to
seven
attorneys,
we
anticipate
that
that'll
be
about
five
percent
of
the
overall
caseload.
E
E
This
is
how
we
hope
to
use
the
public
defender's
office,
so
we
are
not
going
to
use
this
as
just
a
random
distribution
of
caseload.
This
is
not
a
situation
where
every
20th
case
that
comes
in
my
door
to
a
point.
Well,
that's
five
percent,
every
20th
case.
So
that's
going
to
go
to
Paulette
in
her
office.
That's
not
the
way
to
run
a
system
and
it
doesn't
make
sense.
E
So
we
want
to
use
the
public
defender's
office
strategically
to
Target
those
areas
of
our
system
where
we
know
we
have
problems
overly
complex
felony
cases
where
we
really
can't
staff
that
with
multiple
roster
attorneys,
but
a
public
defender's
office
could
pull
in
those
resources
and
put
multiple
attorneys
on
that
file.
Felony
cases
where
maybe
the
defendant
has
not
gotten
along
with
their
appointed
attorney
and
has
gone
through
four
five,
six
attorneys
and
we're
really
at
a
point
where
we're
saying
judge.
E
If
you
allow
this
attorney
to
withdraw
the
sixth
or
seventh
attorney
I,
don't
know
that
I
can
find
you
an
eighth
attorney
who's
willing
to
take
this
case.
Well,
not
to
say
that
we're
going
to
force
that
on
the
public
defender's
office,
but
you're
a
County
employee,
so
you're
going
to
take
the
case
and
you're
going
to
try
to
work
it,
the
best
that
you
can
and
then
in
some
of
our
district
courts.
E
We
we
have
seen
areas
where
we
could
really
beef
up
our
misdemeanor
representation,
I
think
sometimes
because
our
felonies
are
so
serious.
People
forget
that
misdemeanors
really
matter
too,
and
in
fact
most
of
the
people
that
experience
the
criminal
legal
system
at
all
are
probably
experiencing
it
at
the
misdemeanor
level,
and
it
can
cause
a
significant
toll
on
people.
Even
if
they're
locked
up
for
three
days,
you
know
over
the
weekend
because
they
couldn't
they
couldn't
get
a
bond
that
they
could
post
that
can
have
a
serious
detrimental
impact
on
people's
lives.
E
So
if
you
do
X,
Y
and
Z
on
a
case,
you
get
this
much
money,
regardless
of
how
much
time
you
spend
that's,
not
really
a
great
way
to
run
a
system,
and
so
with
midc
standard
eight
next
year
we
will
be
paying
all
attorneys
hourly
based
on
the
work
that
they
do
on
their
cases,
so
we'll
be
asking,
and
actually
this
slide
is
even
slightly
out
of
date,
because
these
numbers
are
constantly
changing.
Our
actual
Grant
request
to
the
state
will
probably
be
more
in
the
realm
of
20
million
dollars.
E
Our
current
Year's
Grant
is
14
million,
but
keep
in
mind
that
next
year
we
have
the
addition
of
a
few
more
employees
in
the
public
defender's
office,
but
also
really
it's.
This
change.
Moving
to
midc
standard,
eight
and
figuring
out
how
much
money
that's
going
to
cost
us
to
pay
all
of
these
attorneys
an
hourly
hourly
rate,
the
county.
Oh
I'm,
sorry.
E
This
is
important,
so
we
have
a
local
share
in
the
county
which
is
set
by
Statute,
and
our
local
share
is
approximately
1.8
million.
It
goes
up
every
year
by
inflation
or
three
percent,
whichever
is
less,
but
one
of
the
key
points
is
that
currently
it
does
not
compound,
and
so
this
local
share,
that's
on
the
screen.
1-883-62074.
E
This
is
everything
that
our
budget
funds,
so
that
big
piece
is
the
attorney
fees
owed
to
independent
contractor
attorneys.
The
expert
investigator
fees
that
I
talked
about
10
employees
of
my
office
12
employees,
eventually,
once
she
gets
them
hired
of
Paulette's
office,
we
have
three
ancillary
employees
currently
in
our
budget.
One
is
a
Corrections
Deputy
that
manages
the
daily
jail
arraignments
and
then
to
Our
Community
Corrections
Specialists
pre-trial
Services
officers
who
meet
with
all
of
the
people
who
are
scheduled
to
be
arraigned.
That
day,
we
also
provide
continuing
legal
education
for
the
appointed
attorneys.
E
We
do
that
through
a
contract
with
the
Oakland
County,
Bar
Association,
so
that's
included
and,
of
course,
all
other
miscellaneous
things
to
office
supplies
bardus
for
all
of
the
attorneys
memberships
to
the
state
appellate
Defenders
criminal
law,
Resource
Center.
But
these
are
the
main
buckets
this.
G
E
Now
these
are
higher
than
the
midc's
minimum
rates.
So
this
is
of
course,
subject
to
midc
approval.
I
think
we
can
make
a
very
good
case
in
Oakland
County
that
in
order
to
attract
and
retain
the
best
quality
of
attorneys
that
we
possibly
can,
we
need
to
be
one
of
the
highest
paying
counties
in
the
state.
I
mean
we.
E
This
Tri-County
area
has
attorneys
that
can
make
a
lot
of
money
in
private
practice
and
if
we
are
not
paying
them
a
higher
rates,
they
will
go
elsewhere
and
find
it
and
so
I'm
hopeful
that
the
midc
will
approve
the
rates
that
are
on
the
screen.
Right
now,
I
don't
know
100
percent
that
they
will,
but
even
if
they
don't,
they
will
set
a
floor,
a
ceiling
really
for
the
rates
that
we're
required
to
pay.
So
it
will
still
be
hourly
one
way
or
another.
E
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation,
commissioner.
Hoffman.
H
E
All
of
the
non-52s
are
what's
called
third
class
district
courts,
which
is
not
really
a
great
name,
but
that's
what
it
that's
what
it
says
in
the
statute
it'd
be
nice
if
they
changed
the
name,
but
that's
what
it
says:
Paulette
actually
used
to
manage
two
of
those
courts,
Waterford
the
one
you
mentioned
and
Pontiac,
and
yes,
that's
exactly
what
they
do.
Their
city
or
Township
has
to
do
the
same
thing
we're
doing.
E
E
Of
the
main
advantages
is
that
ability
to
strategically
Target
problem
areas-
and
so
there
are
schools
of
thought
about
in-house
counsel-
will
provide
better
representation
than
an
independent
contractor.
I,
don't
think
that
that's
true
across
the
board.
Certainly
that
can
be
true,
but
we
have
independent
contractor
attorneys,
who
do
amazing
work,
but
we
can't
force
them
to
take
cases
they're,
independent
contractors
they
can
accept
or
reject,
and
with
a
base
of
employees.
You
can
really
use
that
office
to
say
hey
today.
We
need
to
focus
on
this
area.
E
E
E
E
Yeah
yeah,
that's
the
second
question
is
going
to
be
one
of
our
biggest
challenges
next
year
is
preventing
the
contract
attorneys
from
double
billing,
not
and
not,
even
intentionally,
just
even
inadvertently,
right
they're
not
allowed
to
double
bill.
So
if
you
devote
an
hour
of
your
time,
you
need
to
tell
us
which
case
you
worked
on.
You
can't
charge
an
hour
to
multiple
cases
and
I
apologize.
I
forgot
the
first
question:
yeah.
E
Indigent
so
right
now
the
court
determines
indigency
and
there
are
rules
in
midc's
standard
nine.
It's
Loosely
referred
to
as
standard
nine.
It's
actually
called
The
indigency
Standard.
There
are
certain
presumptions
that
make
you
Indigent.
So,
for
instance,
if
you're
under
200
percent
of
the
federal
poverty
line,
how.
D
Do
you
prove
that,
like
you're
gotta
coordinate,
how
do
I
prove.
I
J
E
E
Well,
I
wouldn't
be
shocked
if
the
state
doesn't
like
the
fact
that
the
local
share
doesn't
compound
I
mean
if,
if
it
compounded,
you
know,
we
would
be
in
a
different
position,
but
it
doesn't
and
I
would
leave
it
I
guess
to
Corporation
Council
if
they
ever
try
to
change
the
statute.
Whether
that
is.
E
J
A
B
B
We
have
another
presentation.
Thank
you.
A
All
right,
next,
on
our
department
recommendations,
we
have
management
and
budget
creation
of
One
Financial
Services
technician,
three
position
and
the
fiscal
Services
reimbursement
unit,
and
we
have
a
presentation
for
Mr.
Kyle
Jun
I'll
accept
a
motion
to
recommend
this
delivery.
Commissioner
Smith
Charles
seconded
by
commissioner
long.
Thank
you.
K
G
K
Resolution
before
you,
the
title
is
a
bit
misleading.
It
actually
deletes
eight
positions,
eight
full-time
positions
and
four
part-time
positions
and
then
adds
the
one
position
that
that's
that's
referenced
in
the
title.
So
it's
a
net,
it's
a
net
reduction
of
Staff
of
of
of
the
seven
full-time
positions
and
four
part-time.
This
is
occurring
within
the
court
reimbursement
unit.
That's
actually
part
of
the
fiscal
services
division
that
reports
to
me.
So
that's
why
I'm
here
to
present
it.
So
that's
the
action
that's
being
taken
today.
K
This
presentation
is
the
is
designed
you
know
so
that
you
have
the
full
context
of
of
how
we
got
to
the
point
that
we
have
a
lesser
need
for
staff
in
the
division,
so
I'm
going
to
walk
through
fairly
quickly
here.
So
you
have
that
context,
but
feel
free
to
stop
me
and
I
should
say
I'm
here,
because
you
know
because
I'm
the
department
director
this
initiative
has
been
a
team
effort
between
you
know.
Barb
Henke
at
public
service
was
going
to
help
me
present.
K
This
she's
she's
out
of
town
she's
been
integral
Marianne
Yogi
from
from
Corp
Council,
Cheryl
Johnson,
the
manager
of
fiscal
Services
and,
lastly,
Sean
monk
who's,
the
chief
over
the
reimbursement,
so
I
don't
want
this
to
to
come
across
as
something
I
did
by
myself
all
right,
so
the
action
that
was
taken,
you
know
by
the
county
executive
branch
last
September
as
an
administrative
action.
K
That's
led
us
to
this
point
was
that
effective
October
1
of
last
year,
the
Oakland
County
reimbursement
unit
is
no
longer
collecting
any
fees
or
assessments
on
juveniles
who
are
going
through
the
family
court
under
our
Circuit
Court
other
than
those
that
are
specifically
and
clearly
required
by
state
law.
So
the
major
categories
that
are
no
longer
being
collected
are
Board
and
Care
assessments,
for
you
know
to
families
of
children
who
are
housed
and
treated
at
Children's
Village,
as
well
as
probation,
service
fees
and
defense
attorney
fees.
K
You
can
see,
then
the
list
of
fees
that
are
specifically
required
by
state
law
that
we
continue
to
collect.
You
know
we've
stopped
wage
garnishments
and
tax
intercepts
for
all
those
fees
that
we're
no
longer
collecting.
For
you
know,
for
any
past
assessments
and
again
I
would
just
emphasize.
This
is
an
administrative
action.
K
K
So
the
largest
category
here
that
I'm
going
to
focus
on
is
is
the
Board
and
Care
charges
at
Children's
Village
some
context,
the
the
rate
is
169
dollars
per
day.
That's
you
know,
kind
of
the
the
face
value
rate,
that's
the
same
rate.
That's
that's
technically
charged
to
families,
as
well
as
to
other
counties
that
contract
with
Oakland
County
to
use
bed
space.
The
rate's
been
unchanged
for
25
years
that
that
charge
is
reduced.
You
know,
based
on
a
calculation
of
ability
to
pay
for
families
or
was
reduced.
K
The
collection
rate
on
this
was
extremely
low
under
10
percent
and
over
the
last
20
to
25
years,
a
total
debt
of
98
million
dollars
had
been
built
up
so
other
than
the
last
thing,
and
we'll
talk
about
the
the
full
Financial
picture
here.
At
the
end,
you
know
the
child
care
fund
at
the
state
level
basically
pays
for
50
percent
of
our
costs
of
of
operating
Children's
Village.
K
K
You
know
I'm
not
going
to
read
these,
but
you
know
it's
it's
it's
an
assessment
that
doesn't
really
serve
any
purpose.
You
know
in
terms
of
of
these
kids
and
these
families
trying
to
get
their
lives
back
on
track.
It
creates
Equity
issues
in
terms
of
of
the
very
high
percentage
of
children
at
Children's
Village.
Who
are
you
know
who
are
black
and
brown
youth?
K
And
you
know
this
is
basically
a
death
that
just
stays
with
a
family.
You
know
forever,
so
you
know
and
and
after
kelsatera.
Oh
sorry
thank.
C
K
You
know
Heather
kelsatera,
you
know
from
Children's.
Village
would
tell
you
you
know
this
also
prevents
in
cases
families
asking
for
assistance
or
families
coming
to
visit
their
children,
because
you
know
they're
not
they're,
not
sure,
if
someone's
going
to
try
to
collect
money
from
them,
which
obviously
doesn't
help
in
terms
of
stabilizing.
K
K
Yeah
you
know
this
action
follows
actions
of
that
that
a
number
of
our
neighbors
have
taken,
including
Macomb,
Washington
and
Wayne.
We've
taken
a
lesson
learned
from
Macomb
and
that
we're
applying
this
action
to
to
neglect
and
abuse
cases,
as
well
as
delinquency
cases-
and
this
is
you
know
this-
does
follow.
You
know
a
path
and
a
trend-
that's
happening
at
a
state
level
in
terms
of
it's
consistent
with
recommendations
from
the
Michigan
task
force
on
Juvenile
Justice
Reform
issued
last
July,
and
there
is
legislation
pending.
K
C
K
So
this
slide
shows
you
the
actual
collections
for
the
last
three
years
of
all
these
fees,
the
ones
that
are
are
marked
with
blue
are
the
ones
that
are
no
longer
being
collected.
The
ones
marked
with
the
green
arrow
are
the
things
that
are
still
being
collected.
You
can
see
those
are
relatively
small
dollar
amounts,
and
you
can
also
see
that
Borden
care,
which
actually
covers
the
first
three
lines,
is
the
bulk
of
the
revenue
that
you
know
that
that
that
has
been
collected
successfully
in
the
past.
K
So
in
terms
of
impact
on
employees
from
this
action
you
know
our
reimbursement
unit.
Obviously,
if
we're
collecting
less
Revenue
has,
you
know,
has
fewer
staff
needed.
K
You
know
we
let
the
staff
know
as
early
as
possible
what
was
happening.
You
know
back
to
last
August.
K
You
know
to
give
them
as
much
time
as
possible
for
for
affected
employees
to
find
new
positions,
and
you
know,
thankfully,
between
the
work
of
Sean
and
our
partners
in
HR.
You
know
we
have
identified
a
position
for
all
of
these
employees
elsewhere
in
the
county.
So
so
there
will
not
be
any
layoffs
required,
the
the
total
savings
from
eliminating
the
positions
as
well
as
operating
an
internal
service
costs
associated
with
that
or
are
over
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year.
K
So
the
next
slide
shows
the
total
Financial
impact
here.
So
our
our
reduced
Court
collections
are
about
1.3
million
dollars.
We
have
the
over
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
ongoing
savings
from
reducing
the
size
of
the
reimbursement
unit,
and
then
we
will
have
an
increase
in
child
care
fund
reimbursement
from
the
state.
So
all
things
taken
into
account.
This
is
basically
a
net
neutral
change
from
a
financial
perspective.
K
You
know
and
I
should
say
that's
starting
next
year
with
FY
2024
when
everything's
in
place
for
a
full
year.
So
there
is
a
a
loss
of
about
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
on
a
one-time
basis
this
year,
so
I
would
just
end
with
the
three
key
takeaways.
From
our
perspective.
K
You
know
we
think
ending
these
collections
is
a
clear
win
for
these
children
and
their
families
to
get
their
lives
back
on
check
back
on
track.
There's
no
significant
financial
loss
to
the
county
and
all
affected
employees
have
found
new
positions.
So
with
that
I'd
be
happy
to
take
any
questions
that
the
Commissioners
may
have
perfect.
L
K
So
the
98
million
dollars
is
is
revenue
that
hasn't
been
collected.
You
know
and
kind
of
sits
on
the
books
you
know.
So
our
hope
is
that
eventually
we
could
work
with
the
Circuit
Court
to
potentially
get
that
wave.
That
hasn't
happened
yet
or
dismissed
whatever
the
technical
term
is
the
50
percent
Child
Care
fund
reimbursement
is
related
to
the
revenue
that
we
do
collect
right
now,.
L
A
K
Correct
and
that's
just
because
it's
taken
us
the
first
half
of
the
year,
you
know
to
get
everything
in
place
to
actually
eliminate
these
positions
and
make
sure
employees
have
a
spot
to
land.
So
for
the
first
year
you
know
we're
only
getting
a
half
year
savings
roughly
on
those
those
reduced
positions
got.
A
K
A
M
You've
already
been
here
10
an
hour
and
10
minutes
well
good
morning,
I'm,
Michael,
lohmeyer
and
I
I
think
I
I
know
or
have
met
everybody
in
the
room,
except
for
your
yourself.
Mr
Rahman,
but
I
came
from
Novi
last
June,
so
I
wish
I
would
have
mentioned
before
and
welcome
you
to
the
committee
and
I've
met
Mr
Hoffman
I.
Welcome
you
to
the
committee.
M
I
am
the
legalization
officer
for
Oakland,
County,
Equalization
and
as
Kyle
mentioned
I.
Certainly
not
the
head
of
this
report.
I'm
not
going
to
take
full
credit
for
it
because
I'm
just
one
of
the
the
chains
of
the
team
I
am
here
with
two
of
our
other
leaders:
I
have
Terry
Schultz
who's
with
us,
he's
chief
of
the
equalization
and
appeals
practice
area
of
Oakland
County
Equalization
and
I
have
Tiffany
Jacob,
who
actually
heads
our
Equalization
of
personal
property
practice
area.
M
M
I
apologize
for
not
having
a
PowerPoint
here
today,
we
just
came
fresh
out
of
March
Porter
review
for
all
of
our
communities
that
we
do
Assessment
Services,
for
we
do
32
communities
or
maybe
32
and
a
half,
because
we
we
also
do
a
lot
of
the
work
for
City
of
Novi,
where
you're
from
we
work
with
the
commercial,
the
assessing
group
there
doing
the
commercial,
industrial
and
overseeing
the
practice
area
and
I
signed
the
role
for
that
Community
as
well.
M
Our
last
community
that
provided
some
of
the
work
for
us
was
Oak
Park,
which
was
the
last
Wednesday
of
March,
so
they
got.
They
had
10
days
to
get
the
reports
to
us.
So,
as
you
can
tell,
this,
just
is
hot
off
the
presses,
which
is
why
we
don't
have
a
PowerPoint.
So
again,
I
do
want
to
apologize
for
not
having
some
kind
of
PowerPoint
for
you.
We
just
put
these
together
so
rather
than
having
a
PowerPoint
I'd
just
like
to
have
maybe
a
conversation
with
you
of.
M
What's
really
of
importance
in
here
that
we
kind
of
flagged
that
I
think
you
should
bring
to
your
attention
that
most
people
look
forward
in
this
report
and
then
I'll
Stand
ready
for
any
other
questions
that
maybe
you
brought
with
you
today
just
to
let
you
know
we
prepare
this
according
to
State
Tax
Commission
requirements,
which
is
the
body
of
our
agency
at
the
State
of
Michigan,
that
we're
required
to
put
things
together
for
the
requirements,
but
also
to
the
standards
professional
practice
that
we
have
to
which
is
use
perhap,
in
which
every
single
member
of
our
office,
which
is
over
70
people,
have
all
taken
that
class.
M
M
This
report
is
extremely
important
because,
as
we
come
out
of
the
March
Board
review,
this
is
the
report
that
not
only
yourselves
but
assessors
Finance
directors,
people
working
on
budgets.
This
is
a
report.
Everybody
refers
to.
You
have
an
assessment
role
that
we
give
to
the
market
Support
Review
members
before
they
go
into
Board
review.
That's
the
official
assessment
role,
but
this
is
a
report
that
goes
we
prepare
for
summer
tax
billing.
M
This
is
a
report
people
use
when
they
compare
other
assessed
value
and
taxable
values
to
on
an
annual
basis,
because
values
change
over
the
years
based
on
State
Tax,
Commission
changes,
Michigan
tax
tribunal
changes
when
you're.
Looking
at
tax
collections,
you're
going
to
have
pre
changes,
principal
residence
exemption
changes,
you're
going
to
have
changes
throughout
the
year,
there's
always
going
to
be
changes,
but
this
is
the
one
one
time
a
year
where
all
counties
prepare
their
Equalization
reports
and
you
you
compare
this
year
to
another's.
M
So
when
somebody
asks
for
Community,
Values
or
percent
a
change
of
values.
This
is
the
one
report
that
is
really
important
for
people
to
have
so
we're
collecting
reports
from
other
counties
right
now
across
the
state
to
see
what
values
have
changed
in
their
areas
and
some
of
the
things
I'm
going
to
talk
about
are
changes
in
personal
property
that
we
had
and
I'm
going
to
bring
those
to
your
attention.
Because
people
are
comparing
what
kind
of
changes
they
had
for
certain
exemptions
for
eligible
manufacturing,
personal
property.
M
What
kind
of
changes
they
had
to
utility
personal
property
that
was
filed
and
what
kind
of
significance
that
had
and
we're
going
to
be,
comparing
that
to
next
year,
if
there's
any
significant
changes.
So
this
is
a
very
important
report
and
I
say
this:
for
the
not
just
remind
the
Commissioners
here
that
have
been
here
in
the
past,
but
maybe
for
some
of
the
new
Commissioners.
That
may
not
know
that.
M
So
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
bring
to
your
attention
is,
we
do
have
a
lovely
picture
on
the
front
cover
that
we
don't
pick
out,
but
we
have
a
great
Communications
Department
that
takes
these
photos.
They
pull
out
of
the
stock
and
but
I
think
a
lot
of
people
wonder
about
that
picture
of.
Why
do
we
select
that
picture?
Well,
we
don't
select
it.
We
have
people
smarter
than
me
that
know
about
photography
that
take
the
pictures
and
they
find
a
nice
picture
somewhere
in
the
county
to
use.
M
C
M
County
values
and
and
I'll
show
that
to
you,
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna
talk
about
page
three
real
quickly
when
I
get
to
that
that'll
be
the
resolution.
That'll
go
before
the
Board
of
Commissioners
I'm,
going
to
talk
about
page
four
and
five,
and
when
I
talk
about
page
four
and
five
with
you
I'm
going
to
remind
you
of
our
friend
Irma
Irma
was
a
good
friend
to
us
this
year.
Why?
Because
of
proposal?
M
Aid
we
didn't
get
the
full
effect
of
7.9
percent,
which
was
our
CPI,
and
we
had
some
residents
call
us,
because
our
their
taxable
value
went
up
five
percent,
and
that
was
Irma.
They
only
got
the
five
percent,
they
didn't
get
the
7.9
percent
and
that's
why
they
like
Derma,
which
is
the
inflation
rate
multiplier
irm.
That
was
Irma.
M
So
I'll
remind
you
of
that
when
we
get
to
that
page,
I
am
going
to
stop
on
page
seven,
because
that'll
give
us
a
total
equalizing
taxable
value
chart
that
I'm
going
to
make
you
aware
of
that's
a
pretty
good
chart
to
look
at
and
then
I'm
going
to
draw
your
attention
to
page
nine,
because
that
is
a
distribution
of
taxable
value
in
a
nice
illustration
and
then
I'm
going
to
look
at
Pages
10
through
12
and
that's
kind
of
where
I'm
going
to
finish
the
discussion
at
the
end
of
the
five
minutes
and
that's
a
comparison
of
assessing
taxable
values
by
communities
and
that's
a
nice
place
where
a
lot
of
people
draw
their
attention.
M
The
rest
of
these
pages
are
really
important
because
it
breaks
down
information
in
different
ways
and
they,
but,
but
you
can
look
at
a
lot
of
those
in
different
ways
throughout
the
year
and
a
lot
of
time.
If
you
have
questions,
don't
hesitate
to
call
me
at
any
point
and
I
can
I
can
give
you
further
explanation
of
what
all
those
things
mean.
M
One
thing
that
I
don't
really
I,
don't
know
if
you'll
have
questions
for
today,
but
maybe
another
time
is
the
very
last
page
I
think
is
important,
because
I
used
to
be
the
assessor
for
Auburn,
Hills
and
you'll
find
we
have
the
largest
value
of
special
Acts
or
I.E
abatements,
which
is
that
last
page,
some
communities
really
value
abatements
as
a
tool.
Some
people
don't
do
abatements.
M
Some
people
do
abatements.
They
have
no
clue
what
they're
doing.
In
fact,
I
found
that
to
be
true
when
I
was
at
Auburn,
Hills
I
found
it
to
be
true
at
Novi.
I
always
helped
extended
myself
to
help
people
out,
because
I
I
did
a
payments
at
every
single
meeting
in
Auburn,
Hills
I
didn't
know
it
was
a
huge
issue
at
Oakland
County.
When
I
came
here
that
people
were
doing
abatements,
they
had
no
clue
what
they
were
doing.
M
Just
as
a
side
note,
we
take
a
lot
of
responsibility
not
only
for
our
communities
that
we
assess,
but
for
all
communities
we
equalize
so
on
August
15th.
We
actually
with
Kyle's
help
and
our
leadership
teams
help.
We
actually
have
teamed
up
with
the
state
of
Michigan
Department
of
Treasury
we're
going
to
bring
in
somebody.
That's
from
the
state
we're
going
to
do
some
training,
we're
inviting
one
member
of
every
single
community
we're
going
to
help
them,
develop
a
policy
on
how
to
do
abatements
on
our
dime.
M
M
If
we
traded
policies,
we
brought
other
people
in
that's
how
we
did
it
at
Auburn
Hills
and
with
Kyle's
help
with
the
administration's
help,
with
our
team's
help.
That's
what
we're
doing
here
we're
doing
the
same
thing
in
July
with
land
divisions,
because
again,
there's
communities
that
just
don't
have
policies.
M
Well,
you
should
have
a
policy
how
you
do
things
so
for
abatements,
we're
doing
that
in
August.
We've
already
led
a
lot
of
the
communities
know
and
we're
doing
that
in
July.
We've
already
talked
to
people
about
special
assessments,
we'll
do
that
after
November.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
we've
implemented
here
and
people
will
understand
why
that's
such
an
important
page
after
we
help
them
understand
what
abatements
even
are
well.
We've
teamed
up
with
the
state
of
Michigan
who's,
helping
us
do
that.
M
M
So,
if
I
can
draw
your
attention
again
to
page
two
and
go
through
that
table
of
contents,
laundry
list
I'll
go
through
real
quickly.
Why?
Some
of
these
pages,
I
thought
were
important
and
maybe
you'll
think
they're
important
page
two
gives
you
a
catalog
of
our
classes
of
property.
What
I
mean
classes
of
property?
These
areas
where
you
have
values?
M
Those
are
the
different
classes
of
real
property.
We
have
in
Oakland
County
Agricultural,
commercial,
industrial,
residential.
That's
what
we
have
for
the
total
of
values
for
those
properties,
personal
property.
We
have
five
different
classes
of
property
two,
but
for
Equalization
we
we
put
them
together
as
a
total
throughout
the
report.
M
There's
different
areas
that
break
them
down,
but
this
gives
you
the
total
for
real
and
personal
property
individually,
and
the
total
real
and
personal
property
is
total
and
you'll
see
later
that
it
did
increase
from
last
year
on
the
next
page
is
the
resolution
of
what
we
would
present
for
next
week.
Meeting
and
you'll
see
on
that
resolution.
The
assessed
value
did
go
up.
8.86
percent
from
last
year,
and
taxable
value
went
up.
7.52
percent.
M
You
know
that's
part
of
why
you
don't
start
to
freak
out
when
assessed,
values
go
down
and
inflation
rate
multipliers
are
going
up
still
because
you
still
have
on
cappings
if
it's
a
residential
community
and
you
still
have
additions
for
something
so
that'll
be
the
resolution
that
would
be
written
if
this
continues
to
go
forward.
Page
four
and
five
are
informational
pieces
we
put
in
there
and
that
pertains
to
you
all.
It's
your
districts
and
what
your
districts
are
and
the
map
color
coded
and
the
asterisks
are
for
those
serving
on
the
finance
committee.
M
Page
six
is
of
importance
because
this
actually
shows
starting
in
2016
going
towards
this
year
the
assessed
value
or
Sev,
because
Sev
is,
if
you're
after
it
goes
through.
State
Equalization.
As
long
as
you
get
a
factor
of
one
SCB
and
assessed
value
are
the
same
thing
and
we're
assuming
we're
not
going
to
get
factored
because
our
team
does
a
great
job,
so
I
wouldn't
expect
us
to
get
factored
as
long
as
that's
even
assessed
value
are
the
same.
M
This
is
the
difference
between
where
we're
at
with
taxable
value
and
assessed
value,
which
means,
if
assessed
value,
were
to
drop
collectively.
Taxable
value
would
still
get
that
inflation
rate
multiplier.
There's
a
there's
somewhat
of
a
cushion
between
taxable
value
and
assessed
value,
and,
as
you
can
see,
assessed,
value
has
grown
at
an
outpacing.
The
tax
value
basis.
M
Page
seven
just
gives
you
the
total,
State,
equalized
and
taxable
values
on
the
left
you
can
see
residential
is,
is
a
higher
basis
at
76.3
percent
than
say
personal
property
of
four
percent
and
on
taxable
value
again.
Residential
makes
up
75
percent
versus
personal
property
of
5.2
percent,
and
then
it
breaks
out
industrial
at
3.3
percent.
Commercial
is
16.4
percent
for
Real
Property
basis,
so
you
can
see
residential
is
a
big
part
of
our
our
basis.
Now,
why
should
somebody
care,
well
commercial,
industrial
agricultural
that
doesn't
uncap
as
much
as
residential?
M
That's
why
you
have
that
outpacing,
the
taxable
value,
because
you
get
the
uncapping
and
the
growth
that
the
the
the
new
decks,
the
new
editions.
You
don't
get
that
with
the
commercial
industrial,
which
means
you
can
you
can
afford
to
make
a
few
mistakes
in
those
communities
management
wise.
But
if
you're,
a
commercial
industrial
Community,
you
can't
un,
you
can't
outgrow
some
of
the
problems
you
have
I
know.
M
You've
got
total
real
and
personal
property,
taxable
values
with
real
property,
taxable
value
on
the
left
side,
and
now
I
wanted
to
bring
this
up
again
because
I
brought
it
up
on
the
table
of
contents.
The
right
side
is
just
personal
property,
taxable
value
and
personal
property.
Taxable
value
and
assessed
value
are
the
same.
You
might
have
an
individual
basis
where
they're
different,
but
all
intents
purposes
are
always
the
same,
because
they're
always
cataloged
based
on
cost,
so
you're
never
going
to
have
really
a
basis.
M
M
If
you
do
the
math
later
and
you
prepare
the
two
years,
22
to
23
commercial
actually
went
down.
3.4
percent,
the
industrial
from
22
to
23,
actually
went
down
2.24
percent
this
year,
utility
actually
went
up
6.44.
If
it
wasn't
for
utilities.
This
year
we
wouldn't
have
had
that
small
0.77
increase
county-wide
and.
M
Bring
this
up
is
we
had
a
tremendous
amount
of
decrease
of
personal
property
this
year
county-wide
because
of
the
eligible
manufacturing
personal
property
exemption.
They
got
phased
out.
Finally,
in
this
10th
year
plus
there
was
a
small
business
taxpayer
exemption
expansion
from
eighty
thousand
dollars
of
assessed
value
to
180
thousand
dollars
of
true
cash
value,
I'm,
sorry,
true,
cash
value,
80
000
to
180
000,
and
not
everybody
that
was
eligible
applied
that
could
have
I
mean
if
they
didn't
apply
that
they
were
eligible.
M
They
missed
the
vote,
so
they'll
apply
next
year
when
they
find
out
when
they
get
their
summer
tax
bill.
They
should
have
that's
what
happened
when
it
originally
started,
just
like
the
empp
folks,
so
some
of
them
are
going
to
apply
next
year
that
found
out
that
their
accountant
didn't
apply
for
them
by
this
.77.
M
We,
it
could
have
been
a
decrease
if
they
would
have
applied,
but
the
only
thing
kind
of
saving
the
personal
property
getting
the
growth
was
all
the
utilities
and
you're
going
to
see
that
in
a
minute,
when
I
point
you
to
some
of
the
I'm
going
to
give
you
a
couple.
Example:
communities,
if
you
don't
mind
where
you'll
see
some
big
double-digit
increases
of
personal
property,
that's
why
I'll
show
you
the
reason.
Why
was
the
utilities.
M
You
know
into
the
individual
again.
Categories
like
this
is
the
bucket
for
the
real
property.
Now
again,
I
wanted
to
point
out
just
a
couple
communities,
so
you
could
see
it.
If
you
pull
out
a
couple
like
Lion
Township,
they
had
a
double-digit
increase
of
14.5
15
14.15
increase
for
a
taxable
value
change,
one
of
the
reasons
it
had
a
double
digit
increases.
M
M
M
M
This
was
largely
due
to
utilities
with
again
Irma
is
always
going
to
be
a
part
of
it
because
you
start
off
with
the
five
percent,
but
as
far
as
additions,
you're
going
to
have
utilities
is
a
big
part
of
it,
the
next
one
down
from
it.
Milford
we
had
a
couple
things
there
you
had.
The
empp
I
talked
about
eligible
manufacturing,
personal
property.
You
had
the
180
000
expansion
that
they
applied,
for.
M
You
also
had
a
new
exemption
this
this
year,
which
was
the
qualified
heavy
equipment
manufacturing
personal
property
exemption
that
they
have
to
apply
for
every
year.
The
empp
is
a
wanted
done,
so
they
apply
for
it.
They're
exempt
going
forward
this
new
one,
but
the
heavy
equipment
manufacturing
they
have
to
apply
for
that
every
year.
If
they
have
it
in
your
community,
that's
a
that
was
one
that
Milford
had.
So
that's
why
they
they're
a
big
negative
in
the
double
digits,
and
that's
where
again,
some
of
these
that
had
double
digit
increases.
M
Another
one
that
was
in
Milford
was
GM
at
another
I
think
they
were
an
empp.
M
The
one
down
in
Farmington
was
actually
the
Siemens
account.
They
just
didn't
have
personal
property.
They
had
reported
it
the
earlier
year.
It
wasn't
there,
so
it
came
off
this
year,
Pleasant
Ridge,
all
of
the
ones
that
had
big
double
digit
ones,
29
in
Pleasant.
Ridge
again,
that's
that's
utilities
that
cause
that
big
increase.
It's
a
small
community,
so
utilities
was
a
big
one.
This
year
again,
that
was
only
a
net
0.77
increase.
M
M
But
as
I
say,
this
is
the
the
report
that
everybody
refers
to,
because
it
has
all
the
communities
it
gives
you
2022,
2023
and
other
than
the
very
last
page.
This
gives
you
the
real
property,
personal
property.
It
breaks
it
down
by
the
classes
a
little
bit
later.
We
do
break
it
down
by
residential
commercial
industrial
class
with
the
total
numbers,
but
it's
just
looking
at
it
differently
and
with
that
I
I'll
Stand
ready
to
answer
any
other
questions
that
maybe
I
didn't
answer
already.
Yes,.
D
Thank
you
love
this
kind
of
stuff,
one
of
the
things
one
of
the
things
I
have
three
things
written
down:
I
apologize
for
not
being
brief.
Abatements
do
involve
the
local
schools
in
these
communities
when
you're
reaching
out
to
municipalities,
because,
as
former
treasurer
of
a
school
board,
I
would
get
those
bills
asking
me
to
come
up
with
1.2
million
dollars
and
had
to
be
paid
in
30
days.
I'm
glad
you
asked
that
yeah.
M
It's
the
local
community
is
required
to
do
the
abatement
process
and
when
I
was
at
Novi
in
Auburn
Hills,
you
are
required
by
Statute
to
send
all
that
affected.
Taxing
authorities,
all
the.
If
you're
going
to
do
a
district
and
then
you're
going
to
do
the
actual
abatement
to
the
council
or
the
board,
you
have
to
send
them
that
information
that
they're
being
affected
when
those
meetings
are-
and
you
have
to
put
it
in
the
paper-
if
you
have
them,
there's
certain
requirements.
M
So
if
we
had
a
policy-
and
we
had
all
the
infected
mailing
addresses
to
send
them
those
letters,
so
yes,
you
have
to
send
the
schools
is
one
of
them.
That's
an
affected.
Taxing
Authority
and
I
spoke
to
the
Oakland
County
School
Board
a
month
ago
and
tonight,
I'm
speaking
to
the
Oakland
County
School
Board
government
relations
at.
N
M
Now
many
of
the
people
on
the
school
board
that
I
talked
to
earlier
were
receiving
letters
because
I
asked
them.
I
can
tell
you,
since
I've,
been
at
the
county
I'm
amazed
at
how
many
don't
have
policies
or
it's
written
down,
and
they
have
the
papers
saying
when
we
have
a
district,
that's
going
to
go
to
the
board,
send
the
letters
when
you
have
the
application
go
to
the
board.
M
Not
a
lot
of
communities
are
doing
what
they're
supposed
to,
which
is
why
we're
bringing
these
people
in
in
August
and
we're
going
to
every
community
in
Oakland
County
and
saying
we
got
that
executive
conference
room
available,
we're
going
to
have-
and
this
is
the
way
we're
doing
it.
We
want
to
have
a
bottom
in
the
seat,
not
virtual
the
bottom
in
every
seat.
M
It
will
help
you
help
yourself,
create
this
policy
because
I'm
not
getting
the
letters,
but
people
are
having
meetings.
Kyle
might
not
be
getting
the
letters,
but
people
are
having
meetings.
I
can
guarantee
you.
Schools
are
not
getting
the
letters,
but
people
are
having
meetings,
meaning
they're,
approving
things
too
right
and
I'm
not
going
to
if
I'm
not
going
to
sign
things.
If
it's
not
the
assessor,
if
they're
not
having
meetings
same
thing
with
land
divisions,
we
don't
process
land
divisions,
we
just
do
parcel
numbers
yeah,
so
you've
got.
J
M
Go
through
these
processes
correctly,
but
that's
why
we're
taking
upon
ourselves
to
do
a
best
practice
meeting
with
you
know.
Usually
you
want
to
have
eight
or
ten
people,
but
we'll
do
it
with
everybody,
we'll
pay
for
everything,
because
we
don't
want
things
to
have.
You
know
illegal
activities
right
so
I
I,
you
are
by
laws
required
to
give
the
taxing
authorities
a
right
to
come
to
the
to
the
hearings.
A
H
M
Think
we're
over
assessed
at
all,
because
everything's
coming
in
between
49.1
and
49.99
and
but
I'll
handle
that
one
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
to
increase
quality
of
what
we're
doing
is
a
lot
of
us.
Are
we
take
it
upon
ourselves
to
make
sure
every
member
is
taking
newspap,
which
is
the
standard
that
every
private
appraiser
requires
and
everybody
is
taking
it.
M
We
have
some
people
that
have
taken
upon
themselves
to
get
appraiser
training
licenses
and
we're
trying
to
create
more
use
of
MLS
for
different
areas
and
where
people
are
taking
education
and
private
appraisal
classes
and
I've
only
been
there
nine
months.
So
a
lot
of
this
is
new,
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
interact
with
Brokers
and
appraisers
and
we're
doing
whatever
we
can
to
increase
quality.
H
M
H
G
C
H
So
they're
being
over
assessed
and
I
I,
don't
remember
any
of
them
the
current
ones,
but
I've
looked
at
some
of
those
but
I,
remember
in
2017,
Bloomfield
Hills
and
Oakland
Township
homes
and
sold
for
more
than
half
a
million
dollars
50
to
60
percent
of
those
were
selling
for
less
than
two
times
SCP.
So
that
means
either
prices
are
dropping
and
I,
don't
think
so
because
they're
over
assessed
that's
the
problem.
I
have.
M
Why
is
if
we
had
pockets
of
Appeals
in
an
area?
I
would
look
at
with
our
residential
assessor
and
say.
If
there's
a
lot
of
appeals,
we're
going
to
look
at
that
area
for
ecfs
and
other
things
going
forward,
and
that's
one
thing:
we
do
and
I
think
the
more
of
our
staff
members
that
can
look
at
MLS
and
more
involvement.
We
can
get
with
quality
of
information
and
using
pictometry
and
other
things,
and
that's
some
of
the
things
we're
doing
so.
M
So
everything
I've
done
in
the
past,
in
assessing
our
leadership
team
and
people
we
have
at
the
staff,
have
been
pretty
active
and
involved
with
also
wanting
to
increase
quality.
We've.
M
Improvement
of
other
technology
like
real
cop
and
MLS,
and
other
appraisal
tools
like
going
to
International
Council
shopping
centers
in
April.
We've
got
a
couple
of
us
going
to
that,
but
with
residential
data
like
MLS
there's
already
a
few
of
us
that
are
members
of
the
board
that
were
already
made,
making
changes
with
small
claims,
appeals
and
other
things.
I.
M
I
would
invite
every
member
of
the
Board
of
Commissioners
and
anybody
else.
If
you
have
suggestions,
I
welcome
them,
because
I'll
do
anything
to
increase
involvement
and
equality.
Anything
thank.
A
J
Commissioner,
I
appreciate
a
question,
so
you
see
a
trend
of
improvement
on
some
of
this,
like
where
you
saw
the
utilities
accounted
for
and
and
of
course
we
can.
We
can
see
new
growth
and
home
sales,
but
is
there
a
way
to
predicting
the
utility
is
going
to
continue
with
that
with
that
number
next
I.
M
M
A
Thank
you
some
slack.
Thank
you.
So
much
are
we

We

All

move

O
Thank
you,
Mr
chair
and
Commissioners
I'm
joined
with
our
chief
technology
officer
from
it.
Ej
Wyden
is
joining
me
as
well.
In
case
you
have
any
detailed
questions
in
regards
to
this.
This
is
pretty
straightforward.
We're
asking
for
an
extension
on
this
contract,
so
we're
still
working
on
the
voice
over
IP
we're
not
asking
for
a
budget
amendment
here.
It's
just
an
extension
on
the
contract.
We've
got
contingency
funds
that
are
set
aside.
So
welcome
any
any
questions
you
have,
but
it's
pretty
straightforward.
It's.
G
D
And
I've
been
told
from
cyber
Security
Experts
I
should
be
asking
questions,
a
question
like
down
to
uptime
and
any
vulnerabilities
that
we've
seen
in
the
past.
That
just
need
to
be
made.
Aware
of
for
you
all,
not
so
much
for
us
for.
G
O
A
Carries
thank
you.
Yes.
Yes,
all
right.
Moving
on
public
health
and
safety
committee
recommendations
item
a
president,
IAL
prosecuting
attorney's
office
requests
to
use
forfeiture
funds.
Do
we
have
a
presentation
on
this
all
right,
move
by
I?
Think,
commissioner,
long
and
seconded
by
commissioner
Smith
Charles.
F
Good
good
afternoon,
I'm
David
Williams
I'm,
the
chief
assistant
at
the
prosecutor's
office
I'm
joined
by
Betsy
Haig
who's,
our
chief
of
administration,
welcome
this
afternoon.
Thank
you.
This
is
our
request
to
use
forfeiture
funds
from
drug
forfeitures
for
a
couple
of
purposes
within
our
office.
These
are
funds
that
they're
already
in
an
account
for
our
office,
but
we
come
to
the
board
each
year
with
a
request
to
use
some
of
those.
The
fund
right
now
has
around
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
it.
I
think.
F
Last
year
we
saw
about
seventy
thousand
dollars
for
for
training
this
year,
we're
seeking
100
000
from
the
fund,
ten
thousand
to
fund
the
work
on
the
commission
to
address
gun
violence
in
Oakland
County.
That's
a
commission!
F
That's
already
been
formed,
it's
expected
to
release
a
report
in
July,
and
these
funds
will
help
us
get
the
word
out
and
support
the
work
of
the
commission
between
now
and
then
we
requested
sixty
thousand
dollars
for
training
you
all
may
recall,
but
for
about
a
decade,
this
office
did
not
send
assistant
prosecutors
to
training
with
some
of
the
major
prosecutors
group
and
groups,
including
the
prosecuting
attorneys
Association
of
Michigan,
the
national
District
Attorneys
Association,
and
a
newer
Association
we
joined
called
The
Association
of
Prosecuting
attorneys.
Those
programs
are
valuable.
F
We're
playing
catch-up
I
think
we
have
a
small
part
of
our
our
County
budget
for
training,
but
we're
we're
still
catching
up
and
we're
sending
a
lot
of
apas
to
training
and
we're
using
these
funds
for
that
and
then
finally,
thirty
thousand
dollars
for
equipment
on
as
needed
basis.
As
you
all
know,
technology
continues
to
change.
Juries
expect
to
see
sort
of
the
latest
technology.
F
A
F
So
I
think
for
about
12
years
it
didn't
happen.
Betsy,
do
you
have
the
numbers
from
last
year,
I.
F
And
it
was
primarily
training
and
equipment.
I
think
we
included
ten
thousand
dollars
last
year
to
help
fund
a
software
program
that
Stores
videos
from
from
care
house
and
I
apologize.
I.
Don't
have
that
in
front
of
me.
Okay,.
A
A
All
right,
Item,
B,
Sheriff's,
Office
acceptance
of
the
fiscal
year,
2023
Michigan,
Economic,
Development,
Corporation
enhancement,
project,
okay,
I,
have
a
motion.
Please
all
right
motion
by
commissioner
long
seconded
by
commissioner
Hoffman,
hello.
H
P
S
so
I
think
we've
had
this
conversation
over
the
last
couple
years
that
we
need
additional
Marine
patrols.
A
couple
years
ago
we
got
a
grant
for
slow,
no
wake
patrols.
That
was
a
one-year
Grant.
Last
year
the
board
gave
us
an
additional
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
patrol
high
volume
Lakes
this
year
we
have
this
250
000
for
100
147-ish
for
Marine
Patrol,
almost
80
000
for
boats,
some
motor
pool
costs
and
then
some
Marine
maintenance
supplies.
A
Excellent
motion
carries
thank
you
and
we're
moving
on
to
item
C
Sheriff's
Office,
continuation
of
positions
for
County
white,
active
assailant
incident,
training,
two-year
pilot
program
second
year
funding.
P
For
funding
for
this
program,
the
original
resolution
approved
three
full-time
Deputy,
two
positions.
This
was
in
response
to
the
Oxford
incident
and
to
provide
more
county-wide
training.
So
in
the
back
of
the
packet,
there
is
a
report
that
was
required
for
us
to
submit
from
the
original
resolution,
so
the
Commissioners
could
see
what
type
and
the
volume
of
training
that
we've
performed,
and
then
we
were
also
required
to
come
back
for
the
second
year
of
funding.
So
that's
what
we're
asking
for
today.
L
A
A
N
Good
afternoon,
Commissioners
I'm
going
to
be
brief,
since
most
of
you
already
heard
my
presentation
this
morning.
What
I
am
here
to
do
is
seeking
your
permission,
to
proceed
with
the
project
to
expand
our
beautiful
shelter
with
19
outdoor
pens
that
will
be
attached
to
our
building
and
located
in
on
the
east
side
of
our
building
in
the
large
fenced-in
play
yard
that
we
have
now
by
by
adding
these
pens,
we
will
be
adding
a
sense
of
efficiency
to
the
shelter
the
cleaning
will
be
better.
N
The
dogs
will
be
able
to
be
outside
on
a
on
a
much
more
readily
basis,
which
hopefully,
will
make
for
a
more
adoptable
animal.
We've
been
working
with
our
fmno
team
of
prudently
for
the
past
couple
years
on
this
project,
we've
had
the
architects
involved.
The
great
news
is
that
financially
there's
no
monies
coming
out
of
the
general
fund
it
the
money.
N
The
project
is
approximately
a
two
million
dollar
Endeavor
about
a
million
dollars
of
that
will
come
from
the
Oakland
County
Animal
Shelter
Legacy
fund,
which
is
our
donation
fund
about
500
000,
will
come
from
unused
arpa
money
and
another
500
000
will
come
from
unexpended
funds
from
the
origin
project
at
the
building.
We're
hoping
that
you
approve
that
and
we
can
move
forward
with
this
project
perfect.
A
C
A
N
I
I
believe
my
team
behind
me
will
send
drawings
of
of
the
project.
I
did
talk
to
commissioner
Spitz.
After
the
last
meeting
he
had
a
question
about
whether
the
unexpended
funds
from
the
original
project
could
be
used
on
any
other
project,
and
the
answer
I
got
from
our
finance
director
was
no
okay.
That
money
could
only
be
used
on
that
project
to
enhance
it
perfect.
Okay,
very
good,
thank.
A
A
A

A
B
Mr,
true,
you
have
five
A's
or
nice.
