All
those

by
saying
aye
aye
opposed
agenda's
approved
next
up,
we'll
move
on
to
our
first
round
of
public
comment.
As
a
reminder,
this
first
public
comment
is
related
to
items
that
are
on
the
agenda.
So
at
this
time
I'd
like
to
open
up
public
comment.
B
Good
morning,
my
name
is
catherine
kennedy,
I'm
from
lake
orion
and
although
I
haven't
had
much
time
to
go
through
the
actual
agenda,
I
do
see
that
there's
an
amendment
on
the
parks
and
recreations
for
the
assignment.
So
I'm
not
clear
what
that
amendment
is,
but
it
is
a
woodward
amendment
that's
going
to
be
presented
today,
so
I
assume
I'll
find
out
about
that
during
the
course
of
the
meeting.
B
B
This
is
actually
an
issue
that
I
have
problem
with
in
a
continual
basis.
We
regularly
I
regularly
download
packets
multiple
times
before.
I
get
all
the
agenda
items,
and
that's
very
concerning
to
me,
because
this
is
a
public
body
they're
supposed
to
be
open
to
us,
the
citizens
to
spend
our
money
in
a
way
that
best
benefits
all
citizens,
not
everybody.
That
is
in
a
just
on
the
democratic
side.
B
I
guess
is
the
best
way
to
put
it
because
the
democratic
caucus
controls
the
agenda
controls
how
everything
gets
presented,
controls
the
timing
of
when
the
public
gets
to
get
the
documents.
I've
literally
had
to
download
documents
the
day
of
a
meeting
to
be
able
to
try
to
catch
something.
That's
in
there.
This
is
a
real
issue.
For
me.
It's
the
opposite
of
what
the
opens
meetings
act
is
the
intent
for
open
meetings.
Act
is
to
be
enable
the
public
to
have
access
to
what's
going
on
in
their
community.
Have
some
input
this
county?
B
It's
very
disconcerting
to
me
because
ever
since
I've
started
paying
attention
last
april,
which
was
the
first
time
I
logged
into
this
website
expecting
to
look
into
environmental
positive
things,
I
found
the
opposite.
We
have
a
department
set
up
for
675
000,
yet
we
have
zoning
rules
that
don't
even
notify
the
residents
when
they're
about
to
abolish
multiple
acres
of
property.
B
I
have
a
specific
instance
in
lake
horie
and
I
encountered
11.5
acres
about
to
be
destroyed
for
multi-unit
townhomes
and
the
neighbors
in
that
area
are
mostly
acreage
parcels,
so
they
have
been
the
long-term
residents,
they've
been
there
for
decades,
yet
they
didn't
even
get
noticed
because
they
were
on
the
other
side
of
the
road
and
they
were
more
than
300
feet
away.
B
Now
the
parcel
itself
is
11.5
acres,
so
300
feet
doesn't
go
very
far.
Most
of
those
parcels
in
that
region
have
more
than
300
feet,
deep
lots
themselves
each
house.
So
how
is
it
that
the
state
law
that
got
changed
somehow
is
what
I'm
told
from
zoning
only
requires
300
foot
linear
to
notice
the
people
that
live
in
that
community
before
their
entire
community
is
taken
over
by
very
dense
housing,
low-income
housing
projects,
we've
got
a
lot
of
apartments
they're
trying
to
push
in.
B
We
have
two
different
big
parcels
in
lake
orion
alone
that
I'm
aware
of
and
the
other
day
I
drove
down
baldwin
across
from
kohl's,
and
I
was
appalled
there
are
so
many
apartments
that
all
the
woods
they're
on
baldwin
by
brown
have
been
totally
obliterated
and
there's
one
more
sign
for
accounting
special
project
use
on
bald
brown.
That
needs
to
be
obliterated.
I
don't
know
what
they're
doing
with
it,
but
all
the
woods
is
gone
already
and
they
have
a
blank
spot.
D
D
I'm
relatively
new
to
this
so
part
of
that
is
my
fault,
but
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
speak
intelligently
to
the
items
I
do
want
to
commend
you
that
today's
agenda
does
have
consent
and
regular
agenda
items
specified
what
items
they
are
instead
of
just
saying
congenital
consent
and
regular
agenda,
because
I
don't
have
the
facility
or
the
equipment
to
download
and
the
ability
to
do
all
the
things
that
catherine
does
when
she's
going
over
your
packets
and
stuff.
D
But
I
would
like
to
suggest
that
maybe
the
public
comment
issues
could
become
more
of
rather
than
you
know
the
the
apparent
combativeness
that
could
become
more
of
a
a
time
where,
like
when
I
made
a
comment.
The
other
day
when
I
was
here
about
someone
that
I
knew
that
had
was
having
difficulty
paying
their
bills
and
one
of
the
commissioners
mentioned
that
she
knew
of
a
constituent
that
had
called
in
and
wasn't
even
directed
to
the
right
place
to
get
the
help.
D
When
we
have
these
buckets
of
money
and
federal
programs-
and
you
know
designation
of
world
autism
and
national
county
government
month
and
all
these
you
know
things
that
we're
doing
I'd
like
for
the
public
comments
to
be
addressed
only
once
or
twice
did
a
commissioner
come
to
me
later
and
and
asked
about
the
issue
that
I
had
brought
up,
and
I
know
that
the
format
is
not.
You
know.
D
C
C
C
Zero
names
excellent
motion
carries
next
up,
we'll
move
on
to
our
regular
agenda.
Our
first
item
item
a
parks
and
recreation
resolution
for
the
assignment
of
american
rescue
plan,
act,
local
fiscal
recovery,
funds
for
establishing
the
healthy
communities
parks
and
outdoor
recreation
program.
Do
we
have
a
motion,
a
motion
by
commissioner
lube's
support
by
commissioner
jackson.
C
Mr
ward
and
mr
mcgillery,
outside
of
the
both
of
you,
we
have
some
others
joining
us
from
the
parks
department.
Can
we
just
introduce
them
as
well
sure.
G
H
Chairman
so-
and
I
just
talked
to
to
mr
ward-
and
I
mean
this
juncture-
I
mean-
I
think
this
presentation
is
a
little
bit
linked
to
the
amendment.
So
if
I
can
move
an
amendment
that
it's,
I
think
it's
in
the
packet
here,
okay.
C
So
we've
got
a
motion
by
commissioner
woodward
in
regards
to
an
amendment
to
this
item.
Do
we
have
support
support
by
commissioner
lubes.
H
And
just
I
mean
to
summarize
originally,
this
resolution
was
written
as
a
assignment
of
money
that
would,
in
some
time,
in
the
future,
by
the
end
of
this
year,
proposals
would
come
back
from
parks.
To
I
mean
do
the
things
that
are
embodied
in
here
and
we've
made
a
small
tweak
to
not
make
necessarily
make
the
assignment,
but
spell
out
the
requests.
I
mean
that
the
board
is
I'm
requesting
of
the
department
that
reports
on
the
parks
and
rec
commission
that
reports
to
the
board
to
bring
up
to.
H
I
mean
10
million
dollars
of
projects
that
they
really
speak
to
investment
in
parks
and
recreation
infrastructure
and
address
covert
impacts
of
the
park
system,
as
well
as
another
kind
of
area
up
to
5
million
to
address
infrastructure,
outdoor
recreation,
infrastructure
and
communities
disproportionately
impacted
by
covid
19.,
and
that's
pretty
much
it.
So
I
mean
the
spirit
I
mean
stays
the
same.
What
would
happen
if
we,
if
we
adopt
this
resolution,
is
as
as
proposals
and
projects
are
at
a
a
ready
state?
C
Okay,
see
none
roll
call
prompt
the
vote.
Please,
on
the
amendment
on
the
amendment
correct.
C
Eas
one
name
excellent
motion
carries
now
back
to
our
initial
item.
G
C
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee,
appreciate
your
time
and
willingness
to
take
this
up.
This
items
are
for
you
as
a
result
of
a
lot
of
conversation.
I
know
I've
been
before
both
caucuses
and
talked
to
many
of
you
individually
appreciate
some
of
your
support
in
sponsoring
this
resolution
and
with
the
changes
that
chairman
woodward
just
mentioned.
We're
allowed
to
continue
the
momentum
forward
and
start
to
bring
projects
forward
to
you
on
an
individual
basis
for
appropriation.
G
So
just
a
real
briefly.
I've
got
a
powerpoint
there.
I'm
not
gonna
believe
it.
I'm
sure
you
get
a
lot
of
power
points
here,
but
just
a
few
comments
I
think,
coming
out
of
covid
there's
an
increasing
recognition
that
parks,
outdoor
recreation,
green
spaces
are
essential
infrastructure
that
really
support
our
public
health.
G
Mental
well-being,
improve
the
environment,
water
and
air
quality,
our
great
support
for
economic
growth
and
increased
property
values
and
social
cohesion,
and
we
had
record
attendance
at
parks
at
the
national
local
state
level
during
the
covet
pandemic,
which
really,
I
think,
underlies
and
supports
that
that
argument
for
the
essential
infrastructure
we
have
listed
in
this
presentation.
G
Some
priority
focus
areas
that
we
have
in
mind.
We
have
three
county
parks
that
do
serve
those
disproportionately
impacted
populations
that
have
also
not
received
as
much
investment
over
the
years.
So
we
see
this
as
an
opportunity
to
address
equity
within
our
system
and
better
serve
the
people
of
the
county
and
the
three
parks
that
we've
targeted
are
catalpa
oaks
in
southfield,
red
oaks
and
madison
heights
and
waterford
oaks
in
waterford
township.
G
Do
some
preliminary
engineering
and
planning
talk
to
the
communities
talk
to
the
residents
who
are
served
by
those
parks,
and
that
was
the
idea
of
coming
forward
ahead
of
time
and
getting
support
from
all
of
you
before
you
know
bringing
you
just.
You
know
individual
projects.
G
There's
a
recognition
within
the
arpa
law
that
the
social
determinants
of
health
have
a
major
impact
on
those
underlying
health
conditions
that
did
contribute
to
some
communities
having
a
significantly
worse,
coveted
impact,
and
so
you
know,
we've
got
oak
park,
city
of
pontiac
hazel
park,
royal
oak,
township
and
south
vietnamese
that
we
would
like
to
further
conversation
with
them
to
talk
about
where
we
could
make
a
one-time
investment
and
really
make
a
big
impact
in
increasing
access
to
recreation
and
right
and
then
some
just
general
county-wide
proposals
that
we
were
taking
a
look
at
to
improve
health
outcomes.
G
There's
a
program
called
parks
rx,
where
you
partner
up
with
healthcare
providers
to
they
actually
write
prescriptions
for
people
to
go
to
the
parks.
And
you
know
we
would
support
that
in
providing
you
know.
Discounted
free
access.
G
G
G
But
you
know
after
we
get
past
this
first
initial
step,
we'll
start
to
seek
more
input
from
each
of
you
as
commissioners
to
see
what
you'd
like
to
see
as
priorities,
because
there's
far
more
projects
that
would
cost
more
money
than
the
dollars
we're
talking
about
here
today.
So
it
is
going
to
be
a
matter
of
prioritizing
and
deciding
what's
going
to
move
forward
and
what's
going
to
have
support
here
at
the
board.
C
I
I
fully
support
this
as
an
active
user
of
all
of
the
parks
and
being
in
waterford.
I'm
in
full
support
and
the
parks
do
need
a
lot
of
love.
My
question
was
because
I
just
had
a
brief
minute,
and
you
explained
your
amendment:
is
this
ratio
adequate
enough
for
you
to
get
your
needs
done
of
the
five
to
ten.
G
Well
again,
I
think
it's
going
to
be
an
issue
of
prioritization
a
lot
of
what
we're
looking
at
for
our
park
improvements,
capital
improvement
projects
that
tend
to
be
a
little
expensive,
so
we're
going
to
have
to
make
some
decisions
about
what
to
move
forward,
not
to
move
forward.
And,
of
course,
if
we're
able
to
get
our
hands
on
some
additional
funding
through,
you
know
the
state
to
federal
resources
through
private
foundations.
I
Okay,
all
right,
if
I
can
change
my
vote
to
yes
on
the
amendment
I
didn't
fully.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
you
were
okay
with
that
ratio.
H
I
mean
related
to
something
I
mean
that
chris
said
is
like
man
that
we
from
an
infrastructure
point
of
view,
and
I
think
this
is
like
says
for
all
of
infrastructure,
but
I
mean
we've
had
to
put
off
a
lot
of
things
for
a
long
period
of
time.
Unfortunately,
the
the
park
millage
chimney
brings
in
some
additional
revenue
to
do
this.
H
That's
just
kind
of
keeping
up
with
what
we
have.
I
mean
enhancing
and
all
the
other
types
of
things.
This
helps
build.
On
top
of
that,
and
so
I
know
that
chris
has
also
invited
him
to.
I
mean
reach
out
to
our
county
lobbyists.
If
there's
an
opportunity
to
identify
some
capital
outlay
and
state
budgets
to
help
maybe
maybe
match,
I
mean
leveraging
these
dollars
wherever
possible
to
help
support
this.
So
a
million
dollar
project
becomes
a
two
million
dollar
project.
H
I
mean
are
things
that
we
want
to
I
pursue
as
well
as
the
foundation
community.
I
know
that
the
chairman
of
the
parks
and
rec
board
that,
with
the
the
partnership
with
spectrum
and
beaumont,
I
think,
offers
some
unique
opportunities
for
some
investment
from
the
spectrum
health
system
and
it's
arm
it's
health
care
arm,
which
I
forgot.
What
this
is
called.
H
What's
this
priority
priority
health?
Thank
you
to
I
mean
that
that
already
has
a
habit
of
investing
in
the
communities
and
the
west
side
of
the
state
where
they
have
a
footprint
already
in
the
space.
So
I
think
this
is
a.
I
don't
think,
there's
any
question
like
the
lack
of
the
the
measure
of
support
on
this
board
and
looking
forward
to
having
these
proposals
come
forward.
E
Yeah,
I
fully
support
this
this
way
of
going
about
it,
I'm
much
more
comfortable
with
it.
I
think
this
is
a
better
idea
and
look
forward
to
the
leveraging
opportunities,
because
I
think
there
will
be
many
out
there,
chris,
since
you're
newly
taking
over
this
organization,
have
you
thought
about
doing
a
strategic
plan.
G
G
Yeah
we're
starting
that
off
now
it
has
a
strategic
plan
as
part
of
it
as
well.
You
know
we're
also
mirroring
some
of
the
things
the
administration
is
working
on
in
terms
of
identifying
key
performance
indicators
and
using
data
to
drive
decisions
as
well.
E
J
Jackson,
thank
you.
I
just
really
want
to
say
I'm
in
full
support
of
this
as
well,
and
also
I'm
very
pleased
just
to
see
that
catapa
park
is
really
being
focused
upon
as
a
park
that
serves
this
disproportion
of
the
impacted
residents.
J
We
also
have
a
great
opportunity
at
catalpa
because
we
have
a
health
care
center
there
and
I've
always
looked
at
just
the
proximity
of
the
health
care
center
to
the
park
and
doing
more
things
that
are
collaborative
in
nature
to
really
address
the
health
needs
in
that
portion
of
the
county
we
during
covid
and
during
the
george
floyd,
and
our
response
to
that
situation
as
a
board.
J
We
deemed
racism
as
a
public
health
crisis,
and
so
this
is
one
way
to
address
that
acknowledgement
very
succinctly,
because
all
the
pieces
are
right
there
and
so
I'll
be
very
pleased
to
be
part
of
those
discussions,
because
I
really
foresee
how
catawpa
could
be
used
to
better
enhance
our
health
care
in
all
those
south
oakland
cities
that
are
highlighted
here.
In
this
plan
hazel
park
oak
park,
royal
oak,
township
and
southfield.
You
know
because
pontiac
is
always
a
little
bit
distant.
J
So
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
considering
that
in
this
proposal
and
I'm
in
full
support
and
will
be
there
at
the
table
when
we
discuss
measures
to
help
implement
this.
H
J
All
about
leveraging
right
now-
and
you
know
we
know
our
problems
more
succinctly
than
up
here
at
the
county,
so
you.
G
J
Yes,
chairman,
that's
a
true
statement.
F
F
F
F
G
Yes,
we
are
moving
forward
with
that
for
the
spring
we're
using
some
of
the
millage
initiative
money,
that's
directed
towards
invasive
species
control.
I
think
the
sale
is
planned
for
june
june
11th
and
12th
june
11th
and
12th
we're
looking
at
operating
on
the
farmer's
market,
and
I
know
you're
aware,
commissioner,
as
well
we're
looking
at
a
community
on
the
other
side
of
the
county.
Possibly
even
clausen
has
a
distribution
center.
C
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Lubes
I'd
also
just
like
to
say.
I
do
fully
support
this
and
I
do
appreciate
parks
bringing
this
resolution
forward.
I
think
it
goes
without
saying
that
our
parks
and
green
spaces
and
our
trails
became
such
a
lifeline
for
so
many
people
throughout
the
pandemic,
and
I'm
excited
as
we
move
forward,
taking
a
look
at
what
we
could
do
to
further
these
spaces.
So
thank
you,
chairman
right.
H
H
K
K
I
know
we
did
do
a
few
assignments
last
year
on
a
couple
of
different
projects
and
so
forth,
but
like
this
approach
of
not
assigning
the
arpa
dollars
in
the
budget,
but
there
is
a
goal,
an
objective,
of
course,
the
department
of
parks
reports
to
the
board
of
commissioners.
So
this
certainly
seems
to
be
a
great
resolution
and
thank
you
for
working
with
the
administration.
K
We
will
work
closely
with
the
parks.
I
agree
with
commissioner
mcgilvray
and
mr
ward
in
regards
to
how
critical
the
parks
were
during
this
pandemic
record
numbers,
as
was
mentioned,
and
was
really
a
strategy
for
many
from
a
mental
health
perspective,
and
so
we
want
to
be
supportive
of
the
parks
the
administration
does,
and
we
will
work
closely
with
the
parks
in
regards
to
guide
house
too.
K
We
want
to
make
sure
all
all
proposals
that
are
reviewed,
that
we
don't
have
an
auditor
from
the
federal
government
coming
back
in
2028
or
2029
saying
you
didn't,
spend
the
dollars
appropriately
and
so
forth.
So
we
we
are
utilizing
that
organization
to
help
us
make
sure
that
we're
compliant
with
the
u.s
department
of
treasury
guidance-
and
I
know
mr
ward's
very
familiar
with
with
that
guidance-
is
as
well
so.
K
C
C
Years,
zero
names,
six
yays,
zero
nays
motion
carries
thank
you,
commissioner,
mcgilvery
and
mr
ward
and
melissa,
and
is
it
phil.
Thank.
B
C
Before
we
move
on
to
item
number
b,
commissioners,
do
we
have
a
motion
to
receive
and
file
the
oakland
county
parks,
rescue
plan
proposal
motion
by
commissioner
liu
support
by
commissioner
jackson?
All
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye
opposed,
is
received
and
fight.
C
Next
up,
we'll
move
on
to
item
number
b
of
our
regular
agenda
is
the
board
of
commissioners
resolution
declaring
oakland
county
support,
respect
and
appreciation
of
our
law
enforcement
officers.
Do
we
have
a
motion
motion
by
commissioner
luke
support
by
commissioner
joliette,
and
I
believe
we've
got
commissioner
colwall
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
resolution
that
she's
bringing
forward
so
good
morning.
Commissioner,.
A
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
appreciate
your
time
today
to
consider
this
resolution.
We
find
ourselves
in
a
time
where
well,
police
work
has
always
been
dangerous
and
sometimes
deadly.
It
seems
it's
more
so
now
and
then
you
couple
that
with
demoralizing
and
it
creates
a
tough
situation
to
recruit
police
officers
as
well,
as
you
know,
keep
them
in
the
force.
So
I
understand
that
there's
a
substitute
that's
going
to
be
presented,
and
maybe
that
should
be
done
first
before
I
speak
to
that.
C
Sure,
okay,
now
call
on
chairman
woodward,
who
I
believe
is
bringing
forward
an
amendment.
H
C
H
C
So
chairman
woodward
makes
a
motion:
do
we
have
support
to
bring
forward
support
by
commissioner
gerstensen.
H
And
then
I
get
now
speak
I
mean
in
the
context
I
mean
it's
directly
related
to
the
the
main
motion.
I
mean
the
main
motion.
I
I
don't
think
anyone
disagrees.
I
think,
commissioner
kowal
and
he
said
it.
I
mean
great
well
that
declaring
support,
for
I
mean
oakland,
county
support,
respect
and
appreciation
for
law
enforcement
officers
is
something
that
we
we
share.
I
mean
completely
there
in
the
originally
introduced
version.
H
There
are
things
that
engage,
I
mean
we
can
definitely
have
the
political
debate,
but
the
substitute
eliminates
some
language
things
like
law
enforcement
being
responsible
for
enforcing
the
social
compact
in
america,
law,
enforcement's
responsible
for
enforcing
the
laws.
It's
not
it's
not
actually
responsible
for
actually
enforcing
the
constitution.
Our
courts
and
our
judicial
system
and
juries
are
responsible
for
ensuring
those
types
of
things,
and
so
there
are
there's
nuanced
things
that
I
think
if,
if
this
is
about
addressing
I
mean
showing
respect
for
law
enforcement,
we
should
in
fact
actually
do
that.
H
H
55
percent
increase
excuse
me
of
over
2020.
the
problem
with
that,
and
so
I
I
mean
I
looked.
I
mean
that
was
very
alarming.
I
mean
at
first
I'm
like,
so
what
I
mean
is
that
I
think
when
you
read
that
people
imply
that
we've,
these
officers
have
fallen
in
the
line
of
duty
as
a
result
of
gunfire,
but
that's
actually
not
the
case.
The
majority
of
those
cases
are
officers
that
died
of
covid
and
and
that's
why
so,
some
of
this
language,
I
think,
has
maybe
the
unintended.
H
H
One
officer
died
by
death
by
firearm
is
too
many
44
from
traffic
accidents,
it's
172
from
other
of
which
145
are
covered,
and
so
I
think
that
information
matters,
because,
in
terms
of
firearm,
related
deaths,
it's
actually
less
in
2020
than
it
was
in
2019,
and
that
I
mean
that
nuance
matters
in
all
of
this.
H
Any
officer
that
falls
the
line
of
duty
is
one
too
many
officers.
I
mean
I'm
really
proud
that
this
board
adopted
a
fund,
the
overall
fund
of
an
officer
that
was
in
a
high-speed
chase,
I
mean,
and
we
created
a
bereavement
fund
to
offset
the
cost
of
any
officer
that
falls
in
the
line
of
duty.
I
mean
this
oakland
county.
This
I
mean
this
board
has
shown
up
regularly
to
make
sure
we
put
up
the
resources
to
support
our
officers,
and
I
think
we
want
to
affirm
that
and
so
what
the?
H
What
the
substitute
and
I'll
just
read.
What
it
says,
which
I
think
gets
at
the
core
of
what
we're
talking
about
is
that,
whereas
the
role
of
law
enforcement
has
profound
importance
in
the
safety
and
freedom
of
people,
whereas
each
day
law
enforcement
officers
risk
making
the
ultimate
sacrifice
in
order
to
uphold
justice
to
and
protect
our
communities,
despite
the
substantial
risk
that
they
face,
each
and
every
day,
law
enforcement
officers
in
oakland,
county
and
throughout
michigan
choose
to
serve,
protect
and
safeguard
our
lives
and
property.
H
I
I
mean
that
actually
was
lifted
off
I
mean
often
I
mean
frankly,
I
mean
crime
is
actually
at
still
at
historic
lows
in
oakland
county
and
I
mean
in
our
surrounding
communities,
but
I
mean
I
think
we
get
the
point,
but
they
do
find
themselves
in
dangerous
situations
in
order
to
enforce
and
maintain
the
laws
of
the
state
and
protect
the
residents
of
our
community,
whereas
the
contempt,
the
the
contemporal,
the
contempt
that
contemptible
easy.
H
I
know
right
actions
of
a
few
have
resulted
in
too
many
law
enforcement
officers
losing
their
lives
in
the
line
of
duty
and
whereas
all
crimes
against
law
enforcement
officers
should
be
treated
accordingly
under
the
law,
as
well
as
any
crimes
committed
that
need
to
be
had.
But
I
mean
this
speaks
to.
I
mean
we're
keeping
this
focused
on
our
officers
and
supporting
our
officers,
whereas
it
is
the
it
is
the
public
interest
that
we
promote
awareness
of
the
and
the
respect
for
the
job
of
our
public
safety
officers
perform
each
day.
H
Our
oakland
county
and
michigan
law
enforcement.
Men
and
women
are
heroes
we
count
on
and
we
trust
to
protect.
All
of
us
now,
therefore
be
resolved
at
the
board
of
commission,
declares
support,
respect
and
appreciation
for
oakland,
county
sheriff's,
deputy
and
command
officers,
our
local
police
departments
and
the
michigan
state
police
who
together,
protect
all
of
oakland,
county's
residents
and
visitors
and
be
a
further
resolve.
That's
forwarded
to
all
the
agencies
that
were
listed
in
the
regular,
I
mean
the
regular
agenda.
H
I
think
this
sends
like
the
message
that
I
think
we
all
want
that
we
support
our
officers.
We
stand
by
our
officers.
There
are
there's
some
statistical
information.
That
is,
I
mean.
If
we
want
to
list
a
whole
bunch
of
stats,
then
I
think
we
have
to
list
all
the
stats
and
not
put
in
things
that
paint
a
picture
that,
I
think,
is
a
little
less
I
mean
458
law
enforcement
has
died,
I'm
up
55
from
2020..
H
I
mean,
I
think
it's
important
to
realize
the
public
health
pandemic
that
was
happening
and
that
it's
actually
less
officers
dying
from
I
mean
gunshots.
One
officer
dying
from
a
gunshot
is
way
too
many
one
officer
dying
from
a
car
accident
is
weight
one
too
many,
and
that's
why
training
and
all
those
types
of
things
that
we
need
to
continue
to
invest
in,
I
think,
does
a
disservice
to
the
purpose
of
what
we
want
to
do
and
stand
in
unif
in
in
unity
in
support
of
our
law
enforcement
officers.
H
A
Yes,
thank
you
and
thank
you,
chair
woodward,
two
things.
I
guess
the
the
language
that
was
kind
of
at
the
beginning
of
the
that
kind
of
set
the
scene.
I
understand
that
social
compact
and
things
like
that,
but
you
know
I
guess
I
felt
that
they
were
somewhere
relevant,
but
maybe
not
particularly
germane
to
this
particular
topic.
So
I'm
good
with
that.
As
to
the
number
of
officers
who
died,
police
officers
are
required
to
be
in
close
contact
with
people.
You
know
you
don't
arrest,
somebody
or
god
forbid.
A
You
have
to
wrestle
with
somebody
to
arrest
them
and
they're
in
the
jail
with
the
corrections
officers.
I
don't
know
how
many
times
they
are
in
a
car
by
themselves
or
or
somebody
else,
but
it
requires
a
lot
of
close
contact,
the
very
nature
of
their
jobs.
That's
why
I
felt
that
that
that's
why
I
included
that.
A
I
I
C
A
If
I
think
yeah
go
ahead
and
do
the
separate
motion,
okay,
so,
commissioner
considered
a
friendly
amendment,
I.
H
C
C
C
Alrighty
see
none,
please
prompt
the
vote
on
the
resolution
as
amended.
C
A
C
Sure
you
have
68
zero
a's
six
yays
zero
nays
woodward's
amendment
motion
carries
now
back
to
the
initial
item.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
the
resolution
commissioner
looms,
but
I.
E
F
H
H
We
have
vacant
positions
that
are
struggling
to
be
filled
and-
and
I
talked
to
on
the
leadership
of
our
deputy
and
command
union
pretty
regularly,
and
there
is
an
array
of
issues
I
mean
there
is
compensation
issues
there
is
I
mean
that
meeting
I
mean
the
risk
associated
with
the
job
and
where
law
enforcement
compensation
exists,
and
there
are,
I
think,
an
array
of
issues
that
are.
I
mean
that
impact
that
and
I
think
it
probably
warrants.
Maybe
it's
ph
s
is
probably
the
better
committee
to
have
a
conversation
like
what.
H
What
more
can
we
be
doing?
Communities
are
trying
to.
I
mean
like
put
out
incentives
to
keep
people
from
leaving
and
I
think
doing
a
deep
dive
to
see,
like
our
I
mean,
are
some
of
our
officers
and
then
the
sheriff
department
leaving
to
other
departments.
And
what
are
the
reasons
for
that?
And
I
mean
I,
I
think,
that's
the
that's
the
action.
That
comes,
I
mean
it's
one.
I
mean
this
is
the
easy
part
to
be
able
to
say
hey,
we
support
you.
What
are
the
concrete
steps
that
we
take
to?
H
A
B
H
Our
I
mean
leadership
in
law
enforcement
here
in
this
county
to
how
to
how.
J
Jackson,
I
am
I'm
just
very
pleased
to
see
this
resolution
being
brought
forth
and
it's
very
timely
and
necessary,
and
what
really
excites
me
is
the
fact
that
it's
going
to
be
forwarded
to
the
michigan
association
of
chiefs
of
police
officers
and
the
state
police
and
just
law
enforcement
agencies
throughout
our
county,
just
to
see
what
we're
doing
and
the
recognition
that
we're
giving
not
only
our
sheriff's
office
but
law
enforcement
in
general.
I
can
speak
to
our
police
chief
in
southfield,
he's
very
community
oriented
and
he
has
implemented
a
new
model
of
policing.
J
The
community
harms
model
where
the
police
officers
look
at
not
just
fighting
crime.
Traditional
crimes
like
maybe
store
theft
and
things
like
that,
but
also
the
reasons
why
they're
being
called
in
the
first
place.
Domestic
type
issues,
drug
issues
amongst
our
children
and
he's
very,
very
active
and
collaborative
within
our
community,
and
that
creates
a
whole
different
sense
of
policing.
J
So
when
we
send
this
out-
or
we
recognize
also
what
our
local
police
chiefs
are
doing
and
give
them
opportunity
to
highlight
their
perspectives,
it
will
help.
I
feel
enticed
younger
folks
to
want
to
be
involved
in
this
profession,
even
more,
and
so
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
bringing
this
and
allowing
chairman
woodward
and
commissioner
joliette
to
enhance
it
so
I'll
be
happy
to
support
this
today
and
and
I'm
glad
that
our
law
enforcement
professionals
throughout
our
whole
county
will
have
an
opportunity
to
see.
A
Thank
you,
commissioner.
I
believe
all
our
local
pds
are
doing
very
innovative
work.
White
lake
township
is
working
with
common
ground
on
an
an
initiative
to
deal
because
so
many
of
the
calls
that
they
get
are
and
tend
to
be
repeat,
calls
are
related
to
mental
health,
so
they're
working
together
with
common
ground
on
approaching
those
particular
kinds
of
of
cases.
So
there's
a
lot
to
be
learned.
A
lot
of
advancements
to
be
made
and
look
forward
to
working
with
everybody
going
forward.
Excellent.
C
Thank
you.
I
too
just
want
to
say
I
thank
you
for
bringing
this
resolution
forward.
I
think
we
all
have
some
great
profound
respect
and
appreciation
for
the
men
and
women
who
choose
to
protect
and
serve
individuals
in
our
community.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
this
resolution
forward.
Commissioner
gershenson.
E
And
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
all
three
of
my
police
of
the
police
departments
that
I
represent-
farmington
hills,
bloomfield,
township
and
west
bloomfield-
the
dynamic-
has
really
changed
over
the
last
10
years,
where
they're
now
calling
looking
for
programming
looking
for
relationships
with
ochn,
there's
a
great
pilot
program.
That's
going
on
now
with
certain
communities
to
have
mental
health
workers
available,
which
I
hope
is
a
program
that
will
be
expanded.
E
I
C
Absolutely
thank
you
for
bringing
it
seeing
that
there's
no
further
discussion
on
this
item.
Please
prompt
the
vote
on
the
resolution
as
amended.
C
Zero
eight
six
yays

This

our
second

As
a

So
at
this

I'd
like
to
open
up
public
comment.
If
there's
anyone
from
the

who'd
like
to
address
the
legislative
affairs

committee,
please
make
your
way
to
the
head
of
the
table.
Sure
thank
you.
B
Good
morning,
I
appreciate
that
we
have
a
resolution
in
support
of
our
officers.
This
is
a
very
positive
step.
It's
a
little
disconcerting.
It
had
a
little
bounce
around
the
way.
So
you
really
don't
know
what
was
just
approved,
because
what
was
in
the
packet
is
not
what
was
just
approved.
I
don't
believe,
but
that
being
said,
I
think,
there's
another
big
thing
you
can
do
to
support
our
sheriffs.
B
It
seems
to
me
we
never
approve
the
three-year
contract
to
protect
our
parks
december
9th.
I
seem
to
recall
there
was
an
interjected
meeting
at
5,
45
15
minutes
before
the
full
board
and
the
only
one
of
the
three-year
contracts
for
the
sheriff's
department,
if
my
recollection
is
correct,
was
for
the
parks
I
find
this
terribly
disconcerting
in
it,
and
maybe
that
means
their
contract
is
expired,
I'm
not
sure,
but
I
did
not
see
it
in
the
packet
that
will
be
coming
up
for
our
11
o'clock
meeting
for
public
safety.
B
I
appreciate
that,
but
one
of
the
big
things
you're
talking
about
parks
and
recreation,
we
don't
have
a
sheriff's
contract
approved
for
parks
and
recreation,
as
I
recall,
so
I
don't
understand
why
mr
ward,
who
was
appointed
as
a
director
when
we
used
to
not
have
director
position
for
that
department
by
the
way
we
changed
it
from
a
management
merit
position
who,
in
the
parks
and
rec,
didn't
get
an
opportunity
to
get
a
proportion.
Because
of
that
change.
B
Just
thinking,
I
would
think
as
an
employee
of
the
county,
that
that
would
be
a
big
opportunity
to
be
able
to
get
management
position
in
parks,
iraq.
But
when
you
change
it
from
a
merit
position
to
now
you,
the
appointment
of
a
director
by
the
political
appointee,
you
no
longer
have
to
have
a
logical
merit
reason
to
be
appointed
the
manager.
You
just
have
to
know
somebody
and
that's
part
of
what's
wrong
with
our
entire
country.
B
Right
now-
and
I
am
seen
in
this
board
that
concerns
me
we're
focusing
more
on
who
you
know
rather
than
what
they
know.
We
have
people
that
they
wanted
to
appoint
for
banking,
that
learned
from
russian
banking
systems.
This
is
boggles
my
mind.
The
reality
is
in
the
60s.
We
were
racially
destroyed
as
a
country.
We
had
very
big
issues,
and
I
appreciate
ms
johnson
jackson's
comments.
I
know
her
community
has
a
larger
proportion,
but
what
upsets
me
the
most
I
lived
through
the
60s.
B
B
What
I
don't
see
happening
in
our
country,
our
state
and
our
county
is
following
the
law.
If
we
simply
enforce
the
laws
that
already
exist,
we
already
have
the
right
to
vote.
We
already
have
discriminatory
policies,
those
are
civil
rights
actions,
but
the
aclu
somehow
forgot
their
acronym
represents.
Americans
aclu
was
getting
450
grand
for
illegal
entrants
that
came
into
our
country
without
following
the
laws.
Ms.
B
We'll
do
what,
if
we
did,
that
to
the
people
that
rob
banks
we're
going
to
pay
them
a
half
million
dollars
because
they
were
separated
from
their
families.
B
D
Sandra
carlin
from
novi,
I
did
want
to
say
that
I
applauded
the
distinction
between
citizens,
residents
and
visitors
in
the
amended
language.
I
encourage
this
same
distinction
be
made
in
matters
of
fun
disbursement
in
the
future
to
prioritize
american
citizens.
First
residents
next
and
then
visitors.
D
D
The
other
comment
I'd
like
to
make
for
your
consideration
is
that
the
mr
ward
mentioned
a
park's
prescription
to
partner
with
health
health
care
providers.
D
A
prescription
should
not
be
needed
for
public
facility
use,
and
so
please
warn,
mr
ward,
that
that
the
use
of
that
context
of
prescription
that
means
that
this
person
is
has
the
authority
to
say
you
may
use
the
park
and
you
may
not,
or
you
may
use
the
park,
but
you
may
not,
and
so
I
want
to
be
careful
that
we
lay
a
foundation
since
we're
going
to
be
funding
these
infrastructure
projects
and
everything
that
we
lay
a
foundation
for
any
future
possibility
that
there
might
be.
D
Pandemics
or
issues
in
the
future,
where
unelected
officials
like
the
health
department,
may
decide
that
you
cannot
go
to
the
park
across
the
street
from
you,
because
it's
going
to
be
taped
off.
I
have
seen
this
in
not
necessarily
in
our
county,
but
in
situations
where
people
were
in
trouble
and
arrested
for
using
a
park
near
them
in
other
state.
D
F
F
The
people
that
perform
those
duties
have
been
lost
and
they
need
to
be
replaced
and
there's
little
incentive
for
them
to
do
it
anymore
because
of
the
way
they've
been
treated
and
demoralized,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
didn't
think
we
really
needed
to
whittle
down
the
numbers
and
that,
but
because
that
is
the
number
that
were
actually
lost.
