who
weren't
in
EDI,
we're
having
a
little
trouble
with
the
computer
system
this
morning
so
bear
with
us.
Okay,
next
up
is
public
comment.
Is
there
anybody
from
the
public
who
wishes
to
speak
before
this
group
at
this
time?
A
If
there's,
no
one
else
from
the
public,
I
am
going
to
ask
Mr
opner
from
the
prosecutor's
office
right,
Circuit,
Court,
Circuit,
Court,
right
right
right
to
come
to
public
comment
to
introduce
a
new
member
of
their
Department.
A
F
F
The
27th
I
think
so
rich
actually
started
in
our
court
in
1988
he
was
a
court
clerk
for
former
circuit
court,
judge,
Hilda
Gage,
and
then
he
rose
through
the
ranks
and
then
in
2014
he
went
to
become
general
counsel
for
the
third
Circuit
Court
of
Wayne
County
has
been
down
there
for
nine
years
and
we
were
able
to
steal
him
back.
So
you
hear
what
we
I'm
sure
before
you
many
times
over
the
years
and
I
just
wanted
to
take
an
opportunity
to
introduce
you
to
him.
A
Seeing
no
one
I
will
close
public
comment
and
we
will
move
on
to
item
number,
seven
Department
recommendations,
item
a
is
revised
liability
claims
and
workers,
comp
policy
and
procedures
and
there's
an
amendment.
So
commissioner
weipert
is
moving
the
as
per
the
as
presented
as
presented.
Okay,
so
you're
moving
the
item
a
and
supported
by
commissioner
Smith
Charles.
D
I'm
Diana
McBroom,
director
of
risk
management
here
at
Oakland
County
with
me,
is
Brooke
Tucker,
who
is
core
Council
today
we're
presenting
to
you
some
amendments
to
the
governance
and
operations
of
the
claims
Review
Committee.
The
committee
was
established
almost
40
years
ago
now
and
the
last
time
its
governance
rules
were
revised
was
about
15
years
ago.
D
So
we
have
a
number
of
you
know:
modest
changes,
some
clarifications
to
the
rules
and
the
governance,
the
governance
rules
so
and
those
are
before
you
and
if
you'd
like
me,
to
kind
of
go
through
those
quickly,
I
certainly
can
for
the
most
part.
You
know
the
concept
is
we
didn't
make
any
sort
of
philosophical
changes
to
how
we
approach
claims
review
and
resolution.
D
The
claims
Review
Committee
was
established
really
to
provide
a
consistent
approach
and
some
kind
of
oversight
to
when
we
when
we
need
to
negotiate
Claims
Settlement
that
arise
out
of
typically
lawsuits
and
things
like
that,
and
so
we
have
made
a
couple
of
recommendations
for
clarification.
The
first
is
the
the
claims
jurisdiction
just
providing
a
bit
of
clarity
that
anytime,
the
county
has
a
claim
that
we're
an
exchange
of
promises
to
you
know,
Sue
or
not
be
sued,
is
contemplated
that
that
really
follows
falls
under
the
claims.
Review
Committee
jurisdiction.
D
The
other
major
change
we
made
is
to
update
the
the
liability
levels
for
which
the
claims
committee
has
jurisdiction.
This
was
really
simply
a
best
practice.
This
has
not
been
updated
since.
D
When
she
spent
35
years
and-
and
you
know,
look
there-
there
are
two
things.
Obviously
that
happened
in
all
those
years
of
normal
economic
inflation
right
and
then
in
what
we
call
social
inflation
of
claim
settlements.
So
you
know
in
years
past
where
you
might
have
settled
for
ten
thousand.
You
know
it's
now
kind
of
it's
now.
Forty
thousand
right
so
and
those
are
pretty
modest
changes.
Essentially,
we
allowed
we
went
from
25
000
in
in
terms
of
the
Baseline
for
coming
before
the
claims
Review
Committee
to
40
000..
D
The
other
important
change
we
made
was
that
the
claims
for
your
community
has
the
the
the
opportunity
or
the
jurisdiction
to
request
that
claims
amounting
to
a
million
dollars
or
above
be
referred
to
the
entire
board
for
a
vote,
so
in
just
having
that
codified
that
so,
for
example,
if
you
know,
we
think
that
an
issue
is
important
enough
for
the
entire
body
to
be
a
price
of
it.
That
we
can
certainly
do
that.
D
D
The
claims
Review
Committee
process
has
not
been
updated
in
a
good
number
of
years,
and
so,
in
fact,
in
practice
it
wasn't
particularly
being
followed.
So
the
last
update
said
you
know
we
had
two
firms
retained.
The
truth
is
we
were
always
operating
with
at
least
four
firms.
D
Best
practice
is
that
you
don't
put
all
of
your
eggs
in
one
basket
right,
so
you
have
multiple
firms
who
are
able
to
step
in
on
different
kinds
of
claims,
and
so
we
would
like
to
expand
the
number
and
not
delineate
with
how
many
firms
could
be
retained,
but
that
that
there
is
a
pre-review
process
that
you
can
see
there,
that
the
claims
Review
Committee
will
make
recommendations
to
the
board
of
commission,
the
the
chairman
of
the
board
of
commission
and
to
the
county
executive
to
determine
whether
or
not
those
firms
are
approved
on
the
approved
list
and
then
assignment
of
actual
matters
will
be
the
purview
of
Corp
Council
and
the
big
change
there
is
because
we
want
to.
D
We
want
to
preserve
attorney-client
privilege
and
taking
it
out
of
the
purview
of
Corp,
Council
I.
Think,
potentially,
you
know,
risks
risks
that
that
that
principle
and
I
think
that
is
essentially
it.
D
Just
one
note
the
very
last
provision
request
for
Council
other
than
the
claims
committee
approved
for
firms.
That
is
a
principle
that
has
been
in
place
since
the
Inception
of
the
claims.
Review
Committee
just
want
to
be
very
clear
that
if
there
is
a
department,
an
entity,
an
employee
who
believes
that
none
of
the
potent
either
Corp
Council
or
none
of
the
potential
firms
that
are
approved,
they
would
like
a
waiver
and
have
the
matter
assigned
to
someone
different
that
they
can
certainly
come
to
the
claims,
Review
Committee
and
make
that
request.
D
K
A
L
M
D
Essentially
150
or
above,
but
that
at
a
million
the
claims
Review
Committee
can
refer
it
to
the
full
board.
A
J
N
Weird,
a
weird
sentence
for
me
number
letter:
C
settlement
amounts
greater
than
150
000,
comma
up
to
one
million
dollars.
Yes,.
D
Claims
review
Plus
Finance,
so
it's
Plus
Finance,
yes,
claims
review
first
Plus
Finance
and
then
once
it
hits
I
mean.
Certainly
there
could
be
a
claim
for
two
million
that
the
claims
Review
Committee
doesn't
refer
to
the
full
board.
But
you
know
you
do
have
members
of
this
body
that
sit
on
the
claims,
Review
Committee,
and
so
you
know
they're,
certainly
aware
of
all
of
those,
and
they
could.
You
know,
move
to
refer
to
the
full
board.
Etc.
B
Chair
yeah,
so
I
mean
there's
an
amendment.
That's
attached
to
here
that
a
a
another
conversation
has
come
up
in
all
this,
and
this
is
a
more
principal
conversation
that
requires
more
conversation,
so
I'm
not
asking
for
action
on
the
amendment,
but
mostly
of
a
pulse
read
of
everyone
here.
I
mean
these
claims,
which
we
hope
to
be
very
rare.
I
mean
come
out,
I
mean
events
will
happen.
We
are
a
billion
dollar
Corporation.
B
We
have
a
process
for
I
mean
reviewing
that
that,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
that
this
is
an
appropriation,
a
decision
to
give
taxpayer
money
for
a
cause,
and
so
the
way
that
the
claims
committee
is
structured,
it
is
I
mean-
and
you
see
it's
listed
at
the
top
of
I-
mean
this
policy.
It's
a
five-member
committee
made
up
of
two
appointments
of
the
county,
exec
and
risk
management.
B
I
think
there's
some
conversations
that
I
need
to
have
with
the
executive
I
mean
how
will
this
function
because
I
mean
they
moved
it
to
an
even
number,
but
if
it
can't
get
approval,
I
just
wanted
to
ensure
that
the
board
is
is
supportive
that
we're
basically,
we
delegate
our
board
authority
to
this
body
to
settle
these
claims,
particularly
on
the
lower
thresholds
above
a
certain
threshold.
It
comes
to
finance
and
in
some
cases,
maybe
like
a
rapidly
case
could
go
to
the
full
board.
B
So
that's
just
something:
I
want
people
to
think
about
not
necessarily
take
action
today,
but
I
mean
I
I.
Think
it's
and
appropriate
to
have
a
balance
of
the
administration.
I
mean,
in
effect
that
there
are
three
administrative
folks
and
have
three
commissioned
folks
whom
we're
talking,
especially
when
we
are
delegating
decision
in
terms
of
Appropriations
and
spending
of
money.
I
should
say
the
spending
of
money
that
hasn't
been
while
it's
been
budgeted.
It
hasn't
been
approved
for
a
specific
cost.
A
M
A
Right
so
yeah.
M
M
B
B
B
And
if
we
decided
to
proceed,
we
can
do
so
from
before.
Okay,
but
I
would
recommend
I.
Think
I
want
to
get
my
compliments
to
demon,
groom
for
I
mean
updating
this
policy.
Making
it
relevant
to
I
think
make
this
process
work
smoothly
and
I
know
you've
been
working
on
it
for
a
long
time,
so
100
support
agree.
M
Commissioner
long
chairman
Woodward
just
on
your
1A,
it
still
equals
five.
So
just
when
you're
going
to
present
it
right
three
members
and
then
two
no
it'll
be
three
and
three
okay,
just
switch
your
three.
If
you
ever
presented
on
1A
see
what
I'm
saying
it
doesn't
equal
six,
you
say
three.
E
M
M
A
Good
all
right,
next
up,
we
have
Item
B
the
amendment
7B
to
lease
agreement
with
K2
Towers,
two
LLC
for
placement
of
communications
equipment
moved
by
commissioner
weipert,
supported
by.
A
Smith
Charles
so.
E
J
A
J
Correct
okay,
so
you
should
have
the
backup
information
there.
Of
course,
there's
no
cost
of
accounting
and
it's
needed
for
a
new
radio
system.
I,
don't
know
if
there's
any
other
other
questions
that
you
have
other
than
the
notes
and
the
details
that
were
provided.
R
J
J
M
C
Oh
geez,
it
got
worse,
Hoffman,
yes,
Markham,
yes,
Charles
or
Smith
Charles.
S
A
J
It
is
me
so
you'll
you'll
see
my
face
for
maybe
a
couple
more
months,
we're
we're
in
the
process
of
hiring
a
new
Chief,
Information
officer.
We
have
made
in
a
selection,
and
this
individual
has
accepted
the
position
as
well,
so
that
will
be
coming
forward
to
Lago
I
think
on
April
11th,
the
new
Chief
Information
officer
for
for
our
I.T
department.
So
so
you'll
get
me
until
until
that
that
person
that's
on
on
board.
M
J
St
Patrick's
Day,
so
this
is
the
backup
data
center
we've
had
a
contract
in
place
with
Windstream
since
2014.
we
went
out
and
we
negotiated
an
extension
on
this
contract
is
a
very
critical
infrastructure.
I.T
bill
that
is
necessary.
We
were
able
to
negotiate
a
12
reduction,
the
monthly
cost
with
the
vendor.
So
this
is
a
three
thousand
dollar
per
month:
reduction
over
a
60-month
totaling
in
180
000
in
savings.
J
So
our
interim
CIO,
Ken
Tice,
has
done
a
real
nice
job
with
a
lot
of
major
contracts,
including
like
Windstream,
to
make
sure
that
we're
going
out
and
we're
negotiating
with
these
with
these
vendors,
which
has
not
always
been
a
practice
in
the
past.
So
it's
good.
M
C
A
I
would
like
to
mention
that
commissioner
Powell
has
joined
us
virtually,
so
she
can't
vote,
but
she's
here
she's
welcome
to
offer
her
opinion
on
anything
that
she
wants
to
offer
her
opinion
on.
So
okay.
Next
up
we
have
item
7D
the
fiscal
year,
2023
first
quarter
forecast
I
need
a
motion,
commissioner
long
supported
by
commissioner
Rahman.
T
All
right,
I,
don't
know
what
to
say
to
that
foreign
so
good
morning,
Kyle
gen,
director
management
and
budget.
The
first
thing
that
you
might
notice
about
the
first
quarter
forecast
is
that
it's
a
little
smaller
than
it
has
been
in
the
past.
Last
year
the
packet
was
120
Pages
this
year
it's
66,
which
we
think
will
make
the
document
more
useful
to
you.
I
know
it'll,
make
it
more
useful
to
me.
T
I
don't
have
time
to
read
120
page
to
document
on
a
regular
basis,
so
I
want
to
let
Kim
Coy
who's,
our
chief
of
budget
and
grants,
and
really
spearheaded
the
effort
to
condense
and
make
the
report
more
useful.
Just
walk
through
the
changes
in
the
format
before
I
talk
about
the
numbers.
R
R
First,
off
I
haven't
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
all
of
you
at
this
point,
so
I'm
Kim,
Coy
chief
of
budget
and
grants
excuse.
R
Right
but
yeah
just
want
to
take
a
moment
to
introduce
myself
to
those
of
you
who
I'm
whom
I
haven't,
met:
Kim,
koi,
chief
of
budget
and
grants
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
opportunity
to
prevent
present
the
new
and
improved
first
quarter
forecast.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
the
same
elements
that
we
typically
have.
We
have
the
new
revenue
forecast,
which
is
the
revenues
of
all
our
departments
rolled
up.
R
We
also
have
on
the
expenditure
side
the
department
summary,
which
is
the
general
fund
expenditures
at
the
department
level
and
the
new
piece
that
we've
Incorporated
this
quarter
is
the
department
summary
there.
We
have
individual
rolled
up,
Department
expenditure
detail.
The
budget
team
has
taken
the
opportunity
to
discuss
the
granular
details
of
the
forecast
with
the
division
leaders
and
we've
extracted
the
most
important
highlights
and
we've
rolled
them
up
in
the
summary
for
you.
R
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
the
standard
amendments,
we
have
the
schedule,
a
general
fund
and
the
special
revenue
and
proprietary
in
schedule.
B.
Then
we
also
have
the
proprietary
forecasts
and
then
we
have
the
donations.
So
that's
just
a
little
overview
of
our
first
quarter
forecast.
We
hope
that
you
enjoy
the
changes
and
then
I'll
go
ahead
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Kyle
to
talk
about
the
transmetal
letter.
Unless
you
have
any
questions
or
feedback
on
the
new
forecast.
T
And
then
we
just
emphasize,
you
know,
for
the
general
fund
departments
we've
condensed
down
to
one
page,
so
you
can
see
what
the
main
factors
for
personnel
and
operating
and
internal
services
are,
and
that's
the
part
that
I
think
will
be
more
helpful
than
kind
of
wading
through
division
by
division.
But
all
that
detail
has
been
reviewed
and
is
available.
T
So
if
you
read
the
one
page
summary
and
have
have
questions
about,
you
know
what
we're
seeing
in
terms
of
a
Department's
expenditure-
Trends,
just
let
us
know
and
and
we'll
get
you
some
backup.
T
So
with
that,
let
me
turn
back
to
the
front
of
the
report
in
terms
of
the
high
level
summary
you
know
so
as
a
refresher
or
or
for
those
Commissioners
who
are
who
are
new
to
the
committee.
You
know
this
quarterly
forecast
process
is
something
we
do
a
because
it's
required
by
state
law,
but
B
is
a
practical
matter.
T
You
know
every
three
months
we
check
in.
Where
are
our
revenues
coming
in,
where
our
expenditures
coming
in?
How
does
that
compare
to
the
budget
that
that's
in
place?
T
You
know
we
want
to
ensure
that
that
we
don't
have
departments
that
are
on
track
to
overspend
their
budgets,
and
we
want
to
see
where
we
are.
You
know
in
terms
of
the
potential
impact
on
our
fund
balance
at
the
end
of
the
year,
so
the
numbers
themselves
aren't
terribly
exciting
on
the
revenue
side,
we're
forecasted
to
be
just
1.6
million
dollars
higher
than
what's
included
in
the
current
budget.
T
The
big
positive
there
is
property
tax
revenues
So
based
on
the
preliminary
taxable
value
information.
That's
coming
in
you
know,
from
our
Equalization
Division
and
from
local
assessors
we're
projecting
property
tax
revenues
to
be
5.2
million
dollars
higher
than
what's
in
the
current
budget.
T
We'll
have
more
to
to
to
explain
in
terms
of
the
details
and
our
estimates
for
future
years
next
month,
when
we
bring
you,
the
the
the
preliminary
Revenue
estimates
for
FY
2024
to
get
the
budget
process
rolling
and
then,
on
the
flip
side,
we're
seeing
about
4.3
million
dollars,
lower
forecasted
charges
for
services
across
a
number
of
departments.
That's
consistent!
T
What,
with
with
what
we've
seen
the
last
few
years
as
as
activities,
have
slowed
down
a
little
bit
because
of
covid,
although
this
isn't
as
big
a
number
as
we've
seen
in
past
years
on
the
expenditure
side,
we're
forecasted
to
be
1.2
million
dollars
lower
than
the
expenditure
amounts
in
the
current
budget.
T
As
you
may
recall,
as
the
budget
is
adopted
by
the
board
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
we
include
turnover
factors
for
personnel
and
for
operating
costs.
We,
you
know,
we
we
budget
for
All
positions
to
be
filled,
100
percent-
obviously
that's
not
always
the
case.
So
we
include
a
10
million
dollar
turnover
Factor,
because
we
know
there
will
be
some
some
lower
expenditures.
We
just
don't
know
exactly
which
departments
those
will
be
in
and
in
them
and
on
the
operating
side.
T
We
also
know
departments
aren't
going
to
fully
spend
all
their
operating
funds.
So
we
include
an
eight
million
dollar
factor
for
that,
once
the
budget
starts,
we
zero
those
out
and
start
to
forecast.
You
know
which
departments
have
have
what
level
of
favorability
on
the
Personnel
on
the
operating
side.
T
So
you
know
overall
that
means
we're
about
2.8
million
dollars
to
the
good.
Just
as
a
refresher.
In
terms
of
of
where
we
are
on
fund
balance,
you
know
we
did.
You
know
we
have
had
a
sizable
decline
in
fund
balance.
For
the
reasons
explained
in
the
memo,
it
doesn't
really
have
anything
to
do
with
this
forecast
process.
But
again,
as
a
reminder,
you
know
the
board,
based
on
the
recommendation
of
Corporation
Council,
adopted
the
resolution
to
fund
the
rafaeli
related
legal
settlements,
which
utilized
39.8
million
dollars
of
fund
balance.
T
That
was
from
the
portion
of
fund
balance
that
has
been
reserved
for
this.
You
know
for
a
number
of
years,
so
that
was
not
unexpected.
The
funds
were
there,
but,
but
you
know
it
is
a
decline
in
fund
balance.
There
were
19.9
million
dollars
in
carry
forwards
and
encumbrances,
so
funds
departments
hadn't
spent
out
of
their
budgets
in
the
previous
fiscal
year.
T
You
know
that,
for
various
reasons,
they
needed
more
time
to
complete
one-time
projects,
so
that
lowers
fund
balance,
and
then
there
were
about
8
million
person,
one
time
spending
items
in
the
Adaptive
budget,
including,
for
example,
the
road
programs
that
the
board
continues
to
to
make
a
priority.
So
accounting
for
all
of
that,
plus
this
forecast.
We
project
right
now
that
our
general
fund
balance
at
the
end
of
the
current
fiscal
year
will
be
about
205
million
dollars,
which
is
down
from
the
peak
of
288
million
dollars,
still
an
extremely
healthy
level.
T
It's
equal
to
about
41
percent
of
our
ongoing
general
fund
budget,
which
is
well
above
our
25
percent
minimum
and
30
percent
Target.
Under
our
fund
balance
policy,
you
know,
but
just
wanted
to
make
sure
you
know
it's
clear
why
those
numbers
have
have
changed
the
way
they
have.
So
with
that
we'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
then
I
think
there
is
one
additional
amendment
that
has
to
be
adopted.
So
I'm
not
I'm,
not
quite
sure
what
the
procedure
is
on
that.
G
T
G
G
Plan
use
of
planned
use
of
fund
balance
is
2.8
million
lower
than
anticipated,
which
is
a
good
thing.
Yes,
in
the
past,
it
sometimes
has
been
big
swings
of
19.
38
million.
You
know,
I
mean
right
numbers
like
that.
Your
goal
in
in
in
doing
the
budget
has
been
to
be
close
right.
That's
understanding!
Those
big
swings
correct.
T
Yeah
yeah
I
mean
we've,
we've
attempted
to
make
the
budget
more
realistic
in
terms
of
of
planned
revenues
and
spending.
You
know
we
we
still
budget,
you
know
I,
would
say
in
a
cautious
manner
where
you
know
we're
going
to
be
careful
not
to
overestimate
revenues
and
we're
going
to
be
careful
not
to
underestimate
expenditures.
As
the
year
goes
on,
you
know,
we'll
we'll
obviously
bring
you.
You
know
forecasts
on
a
quarterly
basis.
This
information
is
only
based
on
revenues
and
expenditures
through
the
end
of
December.
T
You
know
so
these
are
still
conservative.
In
terms
of
saying
you
know
we
expect
departments
to
spend
their
to.
You
know
to
spend
their
budgets
at
a
fairly
High
rate,
but
we'll
certainly
Monitor,
and
it's
potentially
that
that
number
gets
gets
more
favorable
as
the
year
goes
on,
and
you
have
a
little
footnote
without
that
asterisk.
G
N
Charles
chair,
thank
you
both
for
pres
presenting
today
I
was
curious
when
it
says
budget
amendment
recommended
in
some
of
the
notes,
explanations.
What
what
does
that
mean
for
us?
Does
that
mean
we
sit,
and
you
know,
review
this
and
then
come
to
you
and
say
we
need
to
amend
our
budget.
T
So
the
Amendments
that
are
included
in
the
packet
and
that
you
would
adopt
with
the
resolution
you
know
I
view
is
you
know
these
are
all
things
of
a
technical
nature.
You
know
these.
Aren't
these
aren't
new
spending
initiatives,
those
all
come
to
you.
You
know
in
in
in
individual
resolutions.
T
You
know
so
it's
things
like
where
departments
have
identified
that
within
their
operating
budget,
they're
going
to
spend
more
in
one
line
and
less
than
another,
but
it's
that
neutral.
Overall,
it's
it's
resolutions
that
were
adopted
by
the
board,
and
perhaps
you
know
the
resolution
was-
was
finalized
at
a
at
a
late
moment
and
there
wasn't
time
to
produce
a
budget
amendment,
and
the
resolution
said
that
that
the
amendment
would
follow
in
that
in
the
next
quarterly
forecast
and
in
some
cases
it's
its
technical
adjustments
to
Revenue
amounts.
T
You
know
so
not
not
new
grants
or
funding
sources,
but
things
that
have
become
available.
You
know
that
we
want
to
get
incorporated
into
the
budget.
N
And
I
was
reviewing
this
and
what
caught
my
eye,
and
it
could
be
because
when
things
are
pertinent
to
you,
you
kind
of
Zone
in
on
them
and
I
noticed,
because
this
committee
knows
that
I'm
a
little
less
than
in
love
with
our
prescription
coverage
policies
and
I
notice
here
to
to
the
tune
of
a
negative
30
percent
unfavorable
due
to
revenue
less
than
budget
projections.
On
that
one
line.
Item
alone,
that's
on
page
41
for
prescription
coverage
insurance.
N
We
adopted
a
budget
of
13
million
and
again
this
is
not
my
wheelhouse,
but
it
seems
like
a
lot
and
it
seems
like
we
get
very
little
as
W-2s
around
here
and
so
I
will
continue
to
make
that
that
make
that
my
position
is
that
it
just
doesn't
seem
like
it
works,
and
if
it's
to
the
it
looks
like
a
negative
because
it
says
it's
got
parentheses,
it
says
unfavorable.
Maybe
it's
something
we
should
revisit.
G
E
T
A
We're
so
lucky
that
we
have
these
folks
keeping
us
straight
okay,
if
there's
no
other
comments
or
questions,
let's
prompt
the
vote.
Please.
C
I
A
A
Next
up
we
have
item
number
eight
public
health
and
safety
committee
recommendations,
8A
amendment
number
four
to
the
interlocal
agreement
with
Oakland
Community,
Health
Network
ochn
for
medicated
assisted
treatment
and
jail
alliance
with
support
at
the
Oakland
County
Jail,
that's
m-a-t
and
j-a-w-s
at
the
jail
and
I
see
we
have
our
under
sheriff,
and
our
administrator
and
I
will
entertain
a
motion
from
commissioner
Smith
Charles
supported
by
commissioner
long
good
morning.
Good
morning.
O
Good
morning,
so
this
item
that
we
have
before
you
today
is
an
amendment
to
our
agreement
with
ochn,
so
I
think
most
of
you
are
familiar
with
our
our
medicated
assistant,
treatment
or
assisted
treatment
program
in
the
jail
and
so
far
or
to
date.
Ochn
has
only
been
able
to
provide
those
services
and
that
treatment
to
in-county
Residents,
and
so
this
is
a
long
overdue
amendment
to
get
that.
So
we
treat
everybody
the
same,
and
this
is
for
out
County
residents.
So
that's
what
this
amendment
is.
A
O
That's
essentially
it,
and
that
is
to
make
it
Equitable
because
we're
not
at
you
know
to
date.
We
haven't
treated
them
the
same,
because
ochen
was
the
one
that
was
administering
this,
and
so
you
get
somebody
that
has
an
opioid
issue
that
comes
in
in
their
non-county
and
they're,
not
being
treated
yeah
wow
equally.
So
this
is
wow.
P
So,
just
for
clarification,
I
think
it's
great
that
we're
doing
this
equitably,
but
I'm
just
curious
up
until
now,
would
you
identify
a
person
based
on
where
they
live
and
decide?
Hey,
look
we're
treating
you
or
oh
you're
from
Wayne
County,
we're
not
treating
you
just
so
I
understand
kind
of
what
what
the
protocol
has
been
to
this
point.
U
O
O
So
since
they
are
based
in
Oakland
County
and
they're,
an
Oakland
County
organization,
they
can
only
admit
Oakland
County
residents
to
that
program,
and
so
that's
we've
been
working
with
them.
Corporation
Council,
Barb
Hankey
with
this
this
opioid
settlement
money
to
get
this
and
to
make
this
amendment
so
then
they
would
be
able
to
admit
everybody
into
that
program.
Perfect.
A
R
A
Supported
by
commissioner
long
yeah,
okay
who's
here
to
speak
on
this,
anybody.
K
S
This
here
Markham,
this
is
Mike
keys
with
the
boc
team.
I
know
that
the
Stafford
was
on
the
the
meeting
Link
at
the
beginning
of
this
meeting,
so
she
may
have
had
some
technical
difficulties.
S
I
H
A
F
F
We
kind
of
knew
this
grant
was
coming,
but
we
didn't
know
when
and
we
received
notice
of
it
last
week
and
then
we
were
very
surprised
to
learn
in
the
conveyancy
meal
that
came
from
the
state
court
administrator
that
we
had
to
have
the
grant
approved
and
signed
by
the
end
of
this
month,
and
so
we
kind
of
panicked
and
I
reached
out
to
Patty,
and
she
said,
don't
worry
Kevin
will
take
care
of
you.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
placing
this
undermine
your
agenda.
F
The
pandemic,
among
other
things,
had
quite
an
impact
on
trial
courts
around
the
state,
notably
in
the
area
of
our
pending
criminal
caseload,
a
lot
of
the
trial
courts
in
the
state
of
Michigan,
particularly
those
that
are
higher
volume
courts
like
ours.
We
experience
an
increase
in
our
pending
criminal
caseload,
largely
because.
J
F
Years
we
couldn't
conduct
jury
trials,
and
so
we
were,
you
know
the
cases
swelled
in
our
pending
docket
and
then
about
June
of
last
year
we
were
able
we
got
clearance
from
scale
to
improve
ahead
with
jury
trials,
and
our
judges
have
really
been
working
hard.
In
fact,
my
chief
judge,
although
today
I
think,
is
motion
day,
but
this
week
and
this
afternoon
he's
been
in
a
his
longest
oldest
criminal
jury
trial
and
he
is
feverishly
working
through
that
he
apologizes
he
would
be
her
otherwise.
F
But
so
we
have
our
judges,
who
are
really
working
hard
to
try
to
dig
out
from
this
backlog.
F
There
are
a
number
of
reasons
you
know
that
you
had
the
kind
of
to
get
it
wave
to
follow
the
party's
green,
but
shouldn't
agree,
but
generally
the
accused
has
the
right
to
confront
his
or
her
accuser.
You've
got
evidence,
presentation
and
a
number
of
other
reasons
that
make
the
virtual
environment
difficult
for
holding
jury
trials.
F
So
we
had
to
try
to
put
our
thinking
caps
on
and
come
up
with
a
way
that
we
could
meet
the
objective
of
reducing
our
criminal
caseload,
but
also
adhere
to
the
requirement
that
there
be
a
virtual
component,
and
so
what
we
did
is
we
are
going
to
designate
a
week.
It's
probably
going
to
be
late,
second
quarter
or
in
the
third
quarter,
where
we're
going
to
have
an
intensive
civil
case
settlement
week.
We
lasted
this
about
20
years
ago.
F
It
was
very
successful
where
we
once
in
advance,
we
have
judges,
select,
maybe
30
or
40
or
50
civil
cases
from
their
respective
dockets.
That
might
be
right
for
this
kind
of
a
mediation.
We
refer
them.
We
require
the
party
we
said
notice.
We
require
the
parties
to
come
in
that
week
and
then
we
select
what
we
hope
about
40
attorneys,
who
will
serve
as
mediators,
neutral
mediators
and
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
that
virtually
where
we
we're
also
going
to
offer
it
in
person
where
people
could
come
in
in
person.
F
But
we're
going
to
offer
a
virtual
environment
where
mediators
can
meet
with
the
parties,
try
to
resolve
their
civil
cases
and
then
we'll
have
a
couple
of
Judges
waiting
in
the
wings
so
that
when
settlements
are
achieved,
we
can
immediately
take
them
to
court
and
have
them
put
placed
on
the
record.
So
the
idea
is
that,
if
our
judges
who
have
a
combined
civil
and
criminal
docket,
if
we
are
successful
in
resolving
a
lot
of
civil
cases,
then
the
judges
can
more
spend
more
time
focusing
on
the
criminal
case
law.
F
And
so
we
ran
this
idea
past
scale
and
they
were
very
enthusiastic
about
it
and
said
that
that
sounds
good
to
us.
And
then
we
were
just
waiting.
We've
been
waiting
basically
since
November
for
word
whether
or
not
funds
would
be
forthcoming
and
then
last
week
we
heard
that
they
would
be,
and
then,
of
course,
the
fast
track
nature
of
this
report
that
we
try
to
get
this
to
you
as
quickly
as
possible,
so
that
Commissioners
is
kind
of
in
a
nutshell.
F
Of
it
for
staff,
we're
also
hoping
to
be
able
to
pay
the
attorneys
we're
hoping
to
have
a
Cadre
of
about
40
attorneys
deviators.
Who
would
who
would
do
this
and
offer
their
time
up
then?
What
we're
going
to
do
for
those
cases
that
don't
settle?
F
The
idea
would
be
that
we
would
bring
some
visiting
judges
aboard
and
we
would
set
those
cases
immediately
for
trial
in
that
we
would
have
visiting
judges
over
a
probably
the
course
of
the
next
year.
Try
one
after
another,
those
civil
cases
that
don't
settle,
and
so
a
portion
of
the
expenses
would
be
related
to
that
there
would
be
Zoom
licenses.
There
would
be
various
other
expenses
for
this,
so
that
that's
kind
of
serves
as
the
back
background
for
the
the
seven
hundred
thousand
dollar
Grant
from
scale.
F
We
in
fact
scale
in
their
communication
that
I
forwarded
to
Patty
that
you
may
have
seen.
Not
only
did
they
say
that
we
had
to
have
all
the
grant
acceptance
and
the
contract
assigned
by
March
31.
We
had
to
complete
our
use
of
funds
by
March
31
of
2024,
so
we
have
a
one-year
window
in
which
to
get
all
of
this
done.
G
F
Track
of
the
cases,
the
number
of
cases
that
are
referred,
the
number
of
cases
that
are
resolved
by
settlement
and
the
number
of
cases
that
are
ultimately
sent
to
trial
and-
and
you
know,
a
verdict
had
in
those
cases,
so
we'd
be
happy
to
keep
that
in.
G
A
Okay,
I
think
we
can
go
back
to
item
eight
be
right
and
we
have
the
motion
and
I
see
that
we
have
Leanne
Stafford
our
director
of
the
health
department
here.
So
welcome.
V
Good
morning,
everyone
apologize
for
my
lateness
here,
but
would
love
to
talk
to
you
about
our
non-community
grant.
So
this
is
an
amendment
to
our
original
acceptance
of
this
Grant
and
so
non-community
Wells.
Just
a
little
bit
about
those
are
our
Community.
Wells
are
wells
that
serve
the
public,
so
meaning
it's
not
a
home.
It's
not
a
small
business.
A
non-community
well
serves
at
least
25
people
on
a
daily
basis,
so
we
have
over
800
supplies
in
Oakland
County
that
are
considered
non-community
type,
2
Water
Supplies.
V
So
we
currently
have
two
full-time
employees
that
manage
this
program,
monitoring
inspecting
Wells,
and
so
what
this
money
allows
us
to
do
is
go
above
and
beyond
get
out
into
the
community,
with
we're
actually
going
to
hire
some
contracted
employees
about
education,
on
the
importance
of
sampling,
education,
about
your
well
maintenance
education,
around
making
sure
you
have
backflow
prevention
devices
and
what
that
does
to
protect
your
water
supply.
V
This
also
allows
us
to
increase
our
water
sampling
so
going
out
to
businesses
and
helping
take
water
samples,
and
so
these
individuals
will
be
doing
that
additional
work.
That's
been
added
to
this
contract,
and
so
that's
we're
asking
you
to
accept
I
think
the
amount
is
237
358.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Okay,
we
are
I've
been
informed
that
April
Lynch
is
on
her
way
here
right
now.
Okay,
so
do
we
want
to
go
ahead.
M
Is
Cheryl
here,
although
we
just
did
this
one,
she
had
a
tickle.
Oh.
I
A
K
A
A
Q
All
right
I'm
before
you
today
is
the
replacement
of
the
system
that
we
use
in
record
retention
to
manage
our
records.
The
present
systems
at
the
end
of
its
useful
life,
and
it
is
a
server-based
system
and
we
are
looking
to
go
to
a
cloud-based
answer.
Q
This
project
was
before
the
I.T
leadership
committee
and
prioritized
over
the
last
year.
We
sought
proposals.
We
had
three
responses
and
the
vendor
file
trail
that
we've
chosen
we're
going
through
the
process,
and
what
we
were
looking
for
today
is
a
transfer
of
sixty
nine
thousand
two
hundred
and
forty
dollars
to
cover
the
software
acquisition
costs
in
the
first
Year's
maintenance
of
twenty
four
thousand
dollars
for
the
system.
Future
years,
maintenance
will
be
budgeted
in
the
future
years
budget
when
we
go
through
the
process
here
in
another
month,.
A
A
In
the
interest
I've
done
in
the
morning,
yeah
in
the
interest
of
time
we're
going
to
take
up
item
10A
acceptance
of
the
ptk
airport
rescue
Grant
American
Rescue
plan
act
moved
by
commissioner
long
supported
by
commissioner
weipert
good
morning
good
morning.
L
M
Do
Cheryl
what
happened
to
the
other
two,
the.
K
L
C
A
Right
next
up,
we
have
we're
going
to
go
back
to
item
nine
legislative
affairs
and
government
operations
committee
recommendations
and,
if,
let's
see
can
we
do
all
three
of
these
at
the
same
time,
do
you
think.
A
A
H
Just
do
a
quick,
well,
first,
one
is
for
WRC.
There
are
a
few
new
members
in
their
construction
Specialists
if
you
will,
and
so
that
is
a
new
supplement
and
then
the
other
two
is
with
circuit
court
and
with
Probate
Court.
We
just
had
to
switch
out
the
the
master
agreement
needed
to
be
with
the
judges,
the
chief
judge
and
not
with
us.
So
it's
just
a
semantic
change.
We
changed
the
wording
like
County
to
court
and
Department
director,
twiddick
administrator
or
chief
judge.
A
And-
and
those
of
you
who
don't
know
Ed-
is
the
probate
court
that
you
support
and
Mr
ofner?
Is
the
circuit
court
right?
Okay,
all
right!
Anybody
have
any
questions.
She.
A
You
all
right
motion
carries,
and
that
is
all
of
our
regular
items
on
our
agenda,
thanks
for
coming
over
yeah
yeah
up
next,
we
have
our
second
public
comment
open
for
anyone
who
wishes
to
comment
on
any
Topic
at
this
time.
Is
there
anyone
here,
seeing
no
one
I
will
close
public
comment.
Do
we
have
any
other
business
to
come
before
the
finance
committee?
