from

the
legislative
affairs
and
government
operations
committee.
C
G
Well,
thanks
for
having
me,
I
know
that
you
had
asked
to
get
kind
of
an
update
on
the
american
rescue
plan
and,
what's
going
on
with
respect
to
that,
and
the
budget
and
lansing
we're
still
on
summer
recess.
So,
although
their
committees.
G
The
state
of
michigan
has
received
about
half
of
its
just
over
10
billion
dollars
in
the
american
rescue
plan,
and
it's
divided
up
into
three
categories:
one
state,
one
local
and
one
education,
and
I'm
sure
you
probably
saw
last
week
the
governor
signed
legislation
sent
to
her
by
the
legislature
to
fund
the
education
part
of
that
for
this
year.
So
that
was
a
big
step.
However,
that
leaves
also
the
local
share
in
the
state.
G
Treasury.
Has
the
local
here
now
and
are
in
the
process
of
funneling
that
back
to
counties,
cities,
townships
and
villages?
And
it's
very
it's
going
to
be
coming
back
to
you
very
similar
as
to
how
they
do
revenue
sharing.
So
I
guess
that's
good
news
how
long
that
takes.
I
don't
think
we
have
a
great
idea,
but
they
aren't
in
the
process
of
sending
that
money
back
to
the
locals
from
from
the
state
treasury.
G
But
again,
the
time.
Timing
on
that,
I
think,
is
optimistically
to
have
the
budget
done
around
mid-september
and
just
in
time
for
the
for
the
deadline
and
then
begin
to
struggle
with
agreeing
on
how
to
fund
how
to
spend
that
final
one-third
of
the
federal
dollars.
G
I'm
happy
to
answer
those,
but
that's
the
plan
as
of
today.
C
All
righty
see
none
jim.
It
sounds
like
we
look
forward
to
having
you
join
us
again
next
month
and
we
look
forward
to
hearing,
hopefully
a
little
bit
more
additional
information
once
recess
is
over.
So
thank
you
so
much.
G
C
You
next
up
on
our
regular
agenda.
We
have
an
update
on
our
sustainability
officer
and
we
have
deputy
april
lynch
here
with
us
this
morning
to
kind
of
give
us
a
brief
update
so
good
morning
april,.
F
Good
morning,
can
you
guys
hear
me?
Okay,
we
can
okay
perfect.
Yes,
we
have
closed
out
the
open
positions
for
the
environmental
sustainability
officer.
We
had
83
applications,
wonderful
applications.
We
were
very,
very
fortunate
to
receive
such
high
quality
candidates.
F
We
narrowed
it
down
to
14,
of
which
we
did
a
first
round
of
questions
for
a
video,
and
then
we
narrowed
that
down
to
five
and
we
met
with
them
yesterday
and
so
now
I
am
down
to
two
amazing
candidates
that
I'll
be
doing
second
interviews
with
over
the
course
of
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
hopefully
next
week
and
hopefully
extend
an
offer
before
the
just
like
the
beginning
part
of
august
and
hopefully
have
an
announcement
so
depending
on
their
notice,
they
need
to
get
at
their
other
position.
F
I
Commissioner,
gershwin
good
morning
april
morning,
when
you
had
the
83
candidates,
how
did
you
filter
that
down?
Did
you
do
it?
Did
your
department
do
it,
or
did
you
hire
someone
else
to
do
it?
We.
F
Have
a
consultant
hr
golf
that
helped
us
with
that,
so
we
we
had
kind
of
minimum
qualifications
and
kind
of
ramped
up
from
there
who
had
the
most
experience,
and
I
saw
all
of
the
candidates
if
you
will
as
well
so
together,
both
james
and
I
were
able
to
go
through
all
of
them
and
narrow
that
down
to
14.
I
C
F
Sure
I
just
did
that
yesterday,
so
we
narrowed
the
14
down
to
five
and
we
did
interviews
face
to
face
yesterday
with
five
candidates
and
we
ended
up
with
two
candidates
that
now
I
need.
We
need
to
make
a
decision
on
so
I'll,
be
doing
second
interviews
with
those
folks.
C
F
Sure
yep,
I'm
hoping
in
the
next
two
weeks
that
we
have
that
we
are
able
to
have
those
second
interviews
and
an
offer
extended
and
then
again,
depending
on
what
kind
of
notice
they
need
to
give.
I'm
hoping,
obviously,
the
announcement
we
can
make,
hopefully
by
the
middle
of
august,
and
that
they
would
be
able
to
start
either
mid
september
or
first
of
october,
depending
again
and
if
they
need
to
give
a
2
week
or
30
day
notice
to
their
current
employer.
Sure
well
excellent.
C
Well,
we're
looking
forward
to
that
commissioners.
Are
there
any
other
questions
for
april,
commissioner
jackson.
H
Yes,
thank
you
april.
Thank
you
for
the
update,
quick
question.
As
far
as
the
work
on
this
organization
with
interviewing
so
many
people
and
discovering
people
with
high
qualities
and
traits
that
would
be
good
for
this
person.
Is
there
going
to
be
a
staff
involved
with
a
sustainability
officer
and
their
efforts.
F
So
right
now,
I
think
they
have
a
good
team,
including
myself
and
all
those
other
departments,
and
then
we'll
have
to
start
to
realign
what
that
looks
like.
But
I
know
that
the
other
departments
are
really
excited
to
be
part
of
this
process
and
be
part
of
the
sustainability
efforts.
So
we
think
right
now
we
have
a
really
solid
team
that
will
work
with
what
we
have
internally
and
then
continue
to
make
those
adjustments.
B
Julia
hi,
quick
question
in
regards
to
the
consultants
that
were
hired
for
the
sustainability.
Will
this
position
be
interfacing
with
them
at
all
through
the
process
of
doing
the
study.
F
Oh
yes,
the
sustainability
study,
yes,
they're,
going
to
help
take
over
the
lead
right
now,
I'm
leading
the
campus
by
sustainability
with
acom,
so
this
person
will
end
up
taking
that
role
in
meeting
the
rest
of
the
the
study
and
all
of
that
information
with
me.
C
Any
other
commissioners
seeing
that
there's
no
more
questions.
Thank
you
so
much
april
for
joining
us
and
giving
us
an
update.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Would
you
like
to
receive
and
file?
Oh,
yes,
do
we
have
a
motion
to
receive
and
file
this
update
a
motion
by
commissioner
gershenson
support
by
commissioner
lubes.
C
All
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
opposed
item
has
been
received
and
filed
next
up,
we'll
move
on
to
item
number
three,
which
is
the
parks
and
rec
commission
kovic
19
pandemic
accounts,
receivable
right
off
with
for
oak
management,
llc
for
addison
oaks
conference
center
in
glen
oaks,
conference
center
and
grill
room.
Do
we
have
a
motion
motion
by
commissioner
liu
support
by
commissioner
gershon.
D
For
those
a
little
bit
of
history,
oak
management
has
been
an
exclusive
caterer
for
oakland
county
parks.
Since
1941
1974
in
2012,
we
established
a
food
and
beverage
committee
for
a
nation
commission
to
re-evaluate
the
relationship
and
develop
an
rf,
a
competitive
rfp
for
our
food
and
beverage
services,
and
these
this
was
sent
out
and
we
established
oak
management
to
do
our
conference
centers
and
cash
catering
to
do
the
rest
of
our
rooms
and
concessions
in
2016.
D
We
also
established
a
committee
to
evaluate
the
monies
that
were
not
received
from
oak
management
and
on
that
committee
we
had
commissioner
mcgilvery
commissioner
van
der
veen
phil
castonia
who's
online
with
us
today
and
the
chairman
of
the
board
of
commissioners.
Along
with
the
help
of
corporation
council,
we
did
work
with
janet
lekas
who's,
the
president
of
oak
management
corporation
and
I
have
phil
here
to
break
down
the
detail
with
you.
So
phil.
J
Good
morning
good
morning,
so
we
received
a
request
from
oak
management
and
they
were
obviously
with
culvert
struggling
to
make
their
payments,
and
we,
through
our
committee,
negotiated
a
resolution
to
resolve
the
debt
and
make
them
whole.
J
One
of
the
large
parts
is
through
the
contract.
We
pay
the
utilities
and
then
we
rebuild
management
every
quarter
for
those
utilities
when
covet
hit
their
money
was
tight,
so
they
did
stop
making
all
payments,
but
we
were
still
having
utility
costs
and
we
still
had
building
costs.
So
we
were
tracking
our
costs
throughout
2020
and
then
through
2021.
J
The
resolution
we
brought
forward
with
the
approval
of
the
committee
was
to
get
oak
management
to
pay
a
hundred
percent
of
those
past
utility
bills
through
the
end
of
june.
J
That
total
is
a
hundred
and
six
thousand
eight
hundred
sixty
eight
dollars
and
four
cents
and
then
their
flat
fee
and
equipment
fees
that
they
were
past
due
on,
we've
negotiated
a
a
resolution
of
them
paying
50
000
for
fiscal
year,
2020
and
30
000
for
fiscal
year
2021.,
while
oak
management
did
have
sales
in
fiscal
year,
2020
about
90
percent
of
those
sales
were
pre-covered,
so
once
covered
hit
the
march
of
last
year,
their
sales
really
were
very
minimal.
J
J
So
if,
for
some
chance
there
is
some
type
of
issue
like
this,
we
want
to
make
sure
the
county
is
not
stuck
holding
those
those
utility
bills.
Salt
management
will
be
paying
utility
companies
directly.
J
C
Sure,
thanks
phil,
commissioner
gershon
thanks.
I
Phil
for
the
update,
I
just
wanted
to
commend
commissioner
mcilvery
and
everybody
that
really
worked
so
hard
on
this
resolution.
I
have
a
couple
questions.
They,
the
oak
management
they
did
receive,
cares
money,
correct.
I
So
didn't
oak
management
receive,
cares,
money.
J
They
received-
I
I
can't
say:
if
it's
cares,
money
or
not,
they
did
receive
a
ppp
money,
paycheck
protection
program.
If
that
came
from
the
care's
money,
then
yes,
they
did.
They
did
receive
276
000
in
2020
and
381
thousand
in
2021.,
and
the
large
portion
that
did.
J
Go
ahead:
well
that
did
pay
a
large
portion
of
all
their
their
employees
paychecks
to
keep
them
them
whole.
They
did
kick
in
some
additional
money
to
make
sure
their
their
employees
still
got
paid,
but
that
is
the
bank
of
money
they
are
using
to
fund
this
resolution
as
well.
J
Yeah
they
have
a
contract
for
additional.
The
current
contract
they're
in
is
an
additional
four
years,
so
as
of
right
now
they
will
be
the
provider
for
the
next
four
years
unless
there's
some
other
type
of
termination,
but
we
can
either
extend
at
that
point
or
we
can
kind
of
go
in
a
different
direction.
I
J
Through
through
the
history
of
doing
bids
for
these
facilities,
it
is
we
have
not
gotten
a
lot
of
of
interested
vendors
in
operating
these
facilities.
It
does.
It
is
a
lot
of
work,
they're,
they're,
very
large
buildings
and
and
to
maximize
their
use.
You
know
it
has
to
be
a
larger
cater
to
do
that
and
we
did
evaluate
the
the
idea
of
moving
forward
and
especially
with
colvin.
You
know:
there's
not
a
lot
of
catering
businesses
that
are
looking
to
expand
right
now.
J
They're
they're,
really
struggling
to
hold
on
so
getting
us
through
their
original
contract
was
a
10-year
contract.
So
these
last
four
years
getting
it
through
with
the
current
vendor,
is
obviously
our
first
choice,
but
we
will
be
having
to
reevaluate
that
in
less
than
four
years,
because
we're
gonna
have
to
look
at
in
about
two
years
because
of
how
far
some
of
these
parties
book
out,
we
can't
wait
till
it's
expired
to
to
figure
out
the
next
step.
So.
D
Commissioner
gerson
a
couple
options
that
we
have
talked
about
is
what,
if
they
are
no
longer
conference,
centers
what
if
we
repurpose
them
into
something
else
and
another
option
might
be,
is
you
know
here's
our
building?
It's
up
to
you
to
provide
the
caterer
the
the
plates,
the
linens.
You
know,
you
see
many
places
going
this
way
too,
and
that
was
our
goal
with
white
lake
is
to
be
the
pilot
program
for
this
type
of
procedure,
but
again
at
white
lake.
We
also
got
hit
by
covid
and
we're
just
starting
it
up
again.
I
D
This
has
been
going
on,
for
I
think
this
is
our
fifth
year
of
doing
it
and
it
gives
us
control.
I
mean
we're
we're
there
for
customer
service,
and
you
know
it
works
well,
because
they
can.
You
can
sell
potato
chips
in
a
pop
and
at
the
same
time
make
a
tea
time
and
they
can
multitask
with
opportunities
like
that,
so
it's
been
other
than
not
being
able
to
find
staff
in
covet.
It's
been
pretty
successful.
I
K
K
This
resolution
today
it's
a
hard
pill
to
swallow.
Nobody
wants
to
lose
that
kind
of
money,
particularly
oakland
county
parks.
The
problem
is
is
because
of
the
pandemic.
It's
created
a
real
problem
for
that
line
of
business
in
particular,
so
we
had
to
address
it.
We
had
several
meetings
to
try
to
come
to
some
resolution.
K
I
I
think
that
we
need
to
in
the
future
look
toward
catering
have
preferred
caterers
in
those
locations
where
they
would
pay
a
rental
fee
for
the
hall
and
that's
an
option
that
we've
been
looking
at
as
sue
mentioned
before,
but
I
think
that
that's
the
avenue
to
go
go
to
because
it's
just
not
working
out
real
well.
C
Thank
you,
commissioner
gilbert.
So
I
have
a
couple
clarifying
questions
so
from
my
understanding
in
2020
they
received
276
771
from
pp
ump,
and
then
this
year
they
received
389
thousand
920
dollars.
As
far
as
ppp
from
my
understanding
on
page
10,
it
goes
on
to
say
that
they
are
hopeful
that
2021
won't
be
as
dire
as
2020.
Yet
in
the
same
time,
it
also
says
that
they
are
hopeful
that
they
will
rehire
many
of
the
employees
from
last
year.
C
But
it
sounds
like
that
from
what
I
think
I
just
heard
from
commissioner
gershenson's
question
that
they
kept
employees
on
salary
throughout
the
pandemic
in
2020..
So
can
we
get
some
clarification
in
regards
to
that
and
again
that's
on
page
10
of
our
packet.
D
So
it's
my
understanding
that
those
full-time
people,
because
especially
in
march
they
did
not
know
when
this
would
end,
so
they
attempted
to
keep
them
on
and
then
the
part-time
people
they
didn't.
Let
go
and
that's
only
through
conversation,
but
we
can
attempt
to
get
the
specifics
from
oak
management
and
I
think
what
they're
referring
to
in
regards
to
staffing
is
part-time
staff.
D
C
Thank
you
sue
for
that
clarification.
My
final
statement,
slash
question
is,
I
think
commissioner
mcgilvery
has
said
it
the
best.
This
is
a
a
hard
pill
to
swallow
in
regards
to
what
we
have
in
front
of
us.
However,
I'm
hopeful
that
we
do
better
as
we
move
forward.
So
sue
is
one
of
the
preventative
measures
moving
forward
with
the
transfer
of
the
utilities
to
oak
management.
Has
that
happened
yet
and
if
it
hasn't,
when
will
that
transfer
of
utilities
take
place.
C
Excellent,
thank
you,
for
that.
Is
there
any
further
questions
on
this
item
already
see.
None
roll
call,
please,
on
item.
C
C
Next
up
we'll
move
on
to
our
last
item
of
the
agenda,
which
is
the
transfer
of
office,
of
public
communications,
division
and
reorganization
of
positions.
Do
we
have
a
motion
motion
by
commissioner
luke
support
by
commissioner
jackson
this
morning,
we've
got
our
chief
deputy
hillary
chambers
and
deputy
chris
ford
joining
us.
So
thank
you
good
morning.
A
Good
morning,
madam
chair
and
commissioners,
thank
you
so
much
for
for
having
chris
and
I
and
members
of
our
team
are
are
with
us
virtually
and
I'm
going
to
introduce
them
here
in
a
short
bit.
But,
commissioner
nelson,
thank
you
for
your
time
to
that
you've
taken
to
kind
of
understand
this
resolution
and
give
us
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
it
today.
A
We
are
really
excited
about
the
vision
that
we're
creating
here
in
the
office
of
public
communications,
and
I
am
you
know-
I've
been
tremendously
impressed
with
the
talent
of
individuals
that
represent
the
leadership,
the
core
leadership
of
this
of
this
grouping.
A
So
when
we
first
started,
what
we
realized
is
that
communications
had
really
had
gotten
kind
of
delegated
to
several
areas
of
the
county.
There
was
a
group
of
people
in
economic
development
who
did
marketing,
did
social
media
did
event
planning,
and
in
that
first
reorganization,
that
deputy
carlson
did.
You
know
that
was
the
core
of
people
who
formed
the
initial
version
of
the
office
of
public
communications,
and
so
we
decided
it
would
be
better
if
they
were
if
they
were
a
centralized
team.
A
When
we
arrived,
there
was
really
one
person
in
the
executive
office
bill
mullen
who
was
serving
a
communications,
a
media
officer
or
what
you
might
refer
to
as
a
public
information
officer
role
and
everybody
else
was
kind
of
separated
out
in
various
parts
of
of
of
the
county.
At
that
time
as
well,
we
began
to
realize
that
there
really
was
not
a
role
of
community
engagement.
A
You
know
if
you,
if
you
turn
the
clock
back
to
just
before
the
great
recession.
You
know
the
county
had
a
number
of
positions.
A
You
know
at
very
senior
levels
that
were
more
engaged
in
in
in
in
community
engagement,
and
I
thought
that
the
conversation
that
you
were
having
before
this
meeting
in
terms
of
senior
isolation
was
informative
and
I-
and
I
think
that
you
know
opc-
can
be
helpful
in
that
area
going
forward.
But
there
was
kind
of
a
senior
director
of
senior
affairs
at
that
point.
In
other
other
higher
level
positions,
there
was
an
arts
and
cultural
position,
but
they
made
the
decision
because
of
the
recession
to
kind
of
eliminate
a
number
of
those
positions.
A
And
so
there
really
wasn't
a
community
engagement
team.
There
was
certainly
outreach
being
done
in
veterans
or
in
planning
or
in
the
main
street
program,
but
there
wasn't
what
I
would
refer
to,
as
you
know,
community
liaisons,
and
so
in
the
first
version
of
the
reorg.
We
created
the
off
the
community
affairs
manager,
which
was
filled
after
that
by
ashley,
who
is
with
us
today
and
I'll,
introduce
her
in
a
bit.
A
A
You
would
think
that
there
is
certainly
a
function
for
it
in
this
work
because
they
help
departments
with
the
structure
of
their
website.
They
help
them
set
up
accounts,
they
help
them
with
the
back
end
items,
but
I
was
kind
of
surprised
to
find
out
that
you
know
staff
over
there
were
making
decisions
regarding
the
brand.
Regarding
the
oak
of
social
media,
I
mean
they,
they
had
processes
in
place
to
do
that,
but
it
was
separate
from
you
know
any
core
of
communications,
and
so
we
had
made
the
decision
early
on
before
the
pandemic.
That.
A
Grapple
with
what
ego
was
doing
and
what
made
sense
to
stay
in
it
and
what
really
should
be
centralized
within
within
public
communications,
so
that
kind
of
brings
us
forward
to
today.
You
know
they
were
as
I.t
members
of
the
team.
They
were
proprietary,
so
departments
would
kind
of
pay
for
their
services,
so
it
took
us
a
minute
to
figure
out
the
impact
of
that
and
to
figure
out
the
best
approaches
as
we
brought
this
resolution
forward.
So
this
has
been
a
long
time
in
the
making.
A
Quite
frankly,
this
team,
you
know,
has
worked
together
loosely
you
know
in
this
function,
especially
during
the
crisis
of
the
pandemic,
but
we
wanted.
You
know,
we've
been
eager
and
anxious
to
kind
of
formalize
the
structure,
which
is
why
we
were
so.
You
know
so
excited
to
bring
this
forward
to
you
today.
So
I
have
a
few
slides
that
I
hope
will
give
you
a
sense
of
our
vision.
It's
not
you
know
we're
we're.
A
But
we
have
a,
we
have
a
vision
for
what
we
want
this
area
to
be
so,
I
think
pam.
If
you
can
take
us
to
the
bubble
charts,
we
worked
hard
to
figure
out
like
the
best
way
to
kind
of
communicate
with
you.
We
see
this.
A
We
often
refer
to
what
we
hope
to
be
as
a
hub,
and
so
you
know
what
we
want
opc
to
be
is
kind
of
the
hub
for
all
the
county
departments
who
need
assistance
in
this
area,
so
they
need
assistance
with
strategic
communication
or
planning
out
marketing
if
they
need
creative
operations
and
graphics
assistance,
video
assistance,
if
they
need
media
relations,
if
they,
if
they
need
marketing,
schedule,
support
constituent
services.
A
We
we
are
taking
on
the
role
of
communications
to
employees,
which
used
to
be
kind
of
a
housed
in
hr
and
assisted,
but
we
want
to
be
the
team
that
really
works
with
hr
to
have
a
proactive
strategy
to
communicating
with
employees,
and
then,
of
course,
you
know
the
communications
with
organizations
and
and
in
our
cities,
villages
and
townships,
so
pam,
if
you
can,
if
you
can
go
to
the
next
chart,
yes,
so
what
we?
A
What
we
envision
as
a
as
an
organization
is,
you
know,
really
kind
of
a
few
areas
of
operation
under
opc.
You
have
strategic
communication,
which
is
where
our
award-winning
journalists,
kathy
gray,
who
we're
proud
to
have
joined
the
team
recently
is
housed.
We
have
phil
mullen
who
you
know
you
couldn't
find
someone
who's
more
respected
by
the
local
media
than
bill.
A
A
A
All
of
the
video
like
she
keeps
us
on
track
in
terms
of
all
of
you
know
those
types
of
activities,
and
then
we
brought
caitlyn
keeler
over
from
the
ego
team
and
you
couldn't
find
anyone
stronger
in
terms
of
social
media
in
terms
of
marketing
campaigns
in
terms
of
the
editorial
calendar
and
she's,
going
to
lead
that
team
of
individuals
who
do
do
that
work
and
then
community
engagement,
ashley
mcbride,
who
leads
a
team
of
of
of
three
people,
herself
carolyn
krauss,
who
joined
us
recently
and
marcus
pearson,
who
joined
us
right
before
the
february
before
the
pandemic.
A
A
A
Ashley
has
good
news
because
she
is
also
expecting
her
first
child
in
november,
so
we're
thrilled
kathy
gray,
who
I,
who
I
introduced
previously
pam
tremble,
who
many
most
of
you
know
because
she's
the
go-to
person,
when
anybody
needs
help
with
with
graphics
but,
quite
frankly,
we're
utilizing
her
leadership
and
her
her
her
leadership
skills
more
in
this
position
and
then
of
course,
caitlyn
who
is
a
leader
of
our
team
in
terms
of
social
media
and
marketing,
and
then
tom
hardesty,
and
I'm
going
to
come
back
to
tom
in
in
a
bit
here.
A
But
I
just
kind
of
want
to
give
you
a
few
examples
of
how
you
know
we
envision
this
hub,
this
team
of
leaders
who
are
directing
their
their
staff.
You
know
some
examples
of
how
it
has
kind
of
come
together:
the
vaccine
clinics.
You
know
when
we
got
to
the
june
july
period
and
when
we
were
going
out
and
establishing
the
community
clinics,
this
team
worked
hand
in
glove
with
the
health
department.
So
you
know,
ashley's
team
worked
with
calondra
to
identify
the
community
clinic
sites.
A
Pam's
team
worked
with
health
to
do
all
of
the
graphics
in
terms
of
the
signs
they
would
need.
There,
kaitlyn's
team
worked
with
health
to
figure
out
all
of
the
the
the
marketing
strategy,
the
the
kit
that
you
would
need
to
kind
of
promote
these
clinics
through
social
media
and
then
ashley's
team
helped
in
terms
of
informing
the
local
community.
So
it
really
was
kind
of
a
cohesive
strategy
in
terms
of
everyone
playing
a
role
in
terms
of
you
know,
helping
be
successful
with
those
vaccine
clinics
and
supporting
the
health
department.
A
You'll.
Remember
the
march
remembrance
that
we
did
on
the
anniversary
of
covid.
Well,
this
was
this
team's
idea.
You
know
we
talked
about.
How
do
we
remember
you
know?
How
do
we
mark
this
this
one
year
anniversary?
You
know
they
researched
ideas.
They
came
forward
with
the
glenn
lore
idea.
You
know
caitlyn
negotiated
with
them.
What
it
would
mean
kathy
did
all
the
wonderful
writing.
Pam
worked
with
I.t
to
ensure
the
storyboard
was
on
the
website.
A
Ashley's
team
informed
the
community
I
mean
they
were
they
just
knocked
it
out
of
the
park
in
terms
of
the
idea
and
the
planning
and
the
implementation
the
and
then
you
know
it's,
then
it's
smaller
things
any
video
that
people
need
throughout
the
county.
A
The
sheriff's
annual
report,
pam's
team,
is
doing
in
terms
of
the
graphics,
so
you
know
they're
the
that's
kind
of
the
on
the
future
vision
that
we
have
that
they're,
the
hub
that
can
kind
of
bring
all
of
this
together
for
for
the
county,
ashley
does
weekly
community
engagement
calls
where
she
brings
together
the
people
who
do
outreach
and
housing
and
veterans
and
economic
development
and
her
team,
and
they
they
share
information
in
terms
of
what
each
department
is
doing
so
that
we
can
all
support
each
other's
efforts.
A
Caitlin
holds
a
weekly
communications
call
with
all
of
the
department
people
who
are
doing
social
media,
including
the
board
of
commissioners
and
kind
of,
goes
over.
What's
going
on,
what's
coming
up,
you
know
and
and
so
that
they
can
all
share
information,
so
it
is
still
a
work
in
progress,
but
it's
it's
a
it's.
I
think
it's
a
really
solid
vision
in
terms
of
how
we
can
all
work
together
to
make
sure
that
we're
communicating
and
sharing
information
with
the
public
pam
is
undertaking
an
evaluation
of
the
websites.
A
A
So
this
is
a
map
of
the
county,
and
so
what
we've
done
is,
I
guess,
I'm
kind
of
old
school.
This
is
how
I
always
see
community
engagement,
you're
assigned
to
a
turf,
and
so
these
are
the
areas
that
ashley's
team
will
now
that
were
passed,
coven
and
they
can
get
out
and
about
will
begin
to
root
themselves
in
the
orange
is
ashley's
area.
A
The
green
is
marcus
pearson's
area
and
then
carolyn,
the
newest
member
of
our
team,
is
taking
on
the
blue
area,
which
had
previously
been
represented
by
mike
mccready.
Who,
as
you
know,
is
as
has
is
now
the
economic
development
director
at
the
city
of
novi
and
so
carolyn
is
reintroducing,
is
introducing
herself
to
those
areas.
In
addition
to
geographic
assignments,
they
also
will
be
taking
on
assignments
in
terms
of
some
of
the
big
programs
or
activities
that
the
county
does
like
carolyn's
taking
on
leadership
for
the
elite.
A
40
awards
program,
they're,
they're,
dividing
up
like
constituency
groups
and
you
know
doing
other
outreach
as
well
beyond
the
geographic,
the
geography
assignments.
So
that's
kind
of
what
our
vision.
D
A
I
wanted
to
kind
of
talk
for
a
minute
about
why
we
feel
strongly
about
the
location
of
this
team
of
the
office
of
public
communications,
because
the
resolution
before
you
recommends
moving
this
team
to
join
the
the
department
that
tom
leads
emergency
management,
and
so
it
would
be
renamed
emergency
management
and
public
engagement
and
there's
a
number
of
reasons
for
that
one.
A
We
feel
that
there's
synergies
with
that
department
in
terms
of
the
interaction
that
is
really
vital
with
the
public,
and
we
saw
that
you
know
with
the
pandemic
in
terms
of
how
critical
emergency
management
is
and
how
rooted
they
are
in
in
our
communities,
and
we
feel
like
the
the
the
the
vision
of
opc,
is
easily
housed
there.
We
also
in
county
executive
coulter,
felt
strongly
about
this.
We
want
to
give
the
office
of
public
communications
a
little
autonomy
from
the
county
executive.
A
I
think
too
often
people
think
that
community
engagement
or
media
relations
or
communications
is
about
the
elected
official
or
that
personality,
and
he
wanted
to
make
sure
that
this
division
of
folks
had
some
autonomy
so
that
we
could
go
out
and
meet
with.
Not
only
our
the
departments
that
report
to
us
like,
for
example,
commissioner,
gershenson
top
on
our
list,
is
meeting
with
the
animal
shelter
folks
and
coming
up
with
a
marketing
campaign
of
how
to
encourage
increased
use
of
dog
licenses.
A
You
know
we
want
to
have
a
comprehensive
strategy
for
that
area,
but
we
want
to
be
service
to
the
other
county
departments
and
the
board
of
commissioners
as
well.
So
I
I
want
to
send
these
talented
leaders
out
to
meet
with
folks
describe
the
vision
for
opc
and
welcome
their
involvement
with
us,
so
that
we
can
support
their
efforts
as
well,
and
then
third-
and
this
brings
me
to
tom's
leadership-
I
think
that
it
doesn't
it
doesn't.
You
know,
I
don't
think
we
can
ever
say
it
enough.
A
You
know
we,
we
created
the
department,
we
made
tom,
the
director
of
the
department,
and
you
know
his
steady
leadership
during
the
pandemic
was
really
phenomenal
and
I
think
people
don't
quite
understand
the
role
that
he
played.
Yes,
he
played
the
role
of
you
know.
Emergency
management,
in
terms
of
you,
know,
outreach
with
the
communities
and
with
the
health
entities
that
need
our
help.
A
But
tom
was
really
our
go-to
person
when
it
came
to
cares,
act,
eligibility
as
well
so
seeing
him
kind
of
work
that
piece
of
eligibility
and
budgeting
you
know
really
gave
me
confidence
that
he
could
be
the
person
to
house
opc.
You
know
he
now
has
not
only
the
division
of
homeland
security.
Under
him,
we
put
the
division
of
building
security,
of
which
we
have
a
new
leader
under
him
and
now
opc.
A
So
that's
kind
of
the
the
philosophy
about
the
approach
and
then,
of
course,
you
know,
I
have
chris
ward
here
to
back
me
up
on
the
specifics
of
the
resolution
and
I
I
deeply
appreciated
his
help
in
the
drafting
of
the
details,
because
you
know,
as
you
read
it,
you
can
understand,
it
was,
as
chris
likes
to
say
a
complicated
transaction,
so
I'll
stop
there
and
you
know
I
would
welcome
any
questions,
any
comments,
any
thoughts
that
you
have
about
things
we
should
you
know,
look
at
going
forward.
C
H
Well,
basically,
it's
just
a
comment,
and
I
know
we're
in
the
information
age
and
just
being
able
to
bring
together.
Information
in
this
way
is
efficient
and-
and
I
feel
as
though
you
guys
that
represent
the
team.
You
know
firsthand
about
how
we
used
to
operate
when
we
had
special
projects,
even
when
we
needed
help
with
information
and
and
promoting
our
initiatives.
H
So
I
feel
as
though
working
together
in
this
way,
it
will
make
us
more
proactive
with
our
communications
and
less
reactive,
but
because
we
know
we're
in
an
open
system
and
things
change
all
the
time.
So
I'm
happy
to
see-
and
I
want
to
compliment
miss
mcbride
for
her
leadership
last
year
in
our
communities,
even
with
the
census,
because
that
was
a
a
big
undertaking
during
the
pandemic
year,
and
I
just
really
think
that
this
is
the
way
to
go.
It's
almost.
H
It's
almost
like
a
corporate
model
from
where
you
know
other
workplaces
I
see
are
set
up
this
way.
So
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
us
to
be
able
to
utilize
your
services
in
conjunction
with
the
executive
office,
instead
of
possibly
sometimes
competing.
A
I
like
it
well,
commissioner
jackson,
you
know,
I
you
thank
you
so
much
for
that,
and
I
think
this
team
will
tell
you
that
what
they
hear
me
say
a
lot
about
is
proactive
versus
reactive.
We
used
to
have
our
agenda,
be
the
proactive
things
and
the
reactive
things.
So,
yes,
I
want
this
team
to
be
proactive
and
we
have
a
retreat
planned
in
august,
where
we
want
to
think
about
the
next
year
and
plan
things
out.
A
So
thank
you
very
much
for
saying
that
and
to
a
certain
extent
I
mean
the
census
feels
like
five
years
ago.
I
mean
it's
hard
to
believe
right,
but
yes,
your
thank
you
for
mentioning
ashley's
role
there,
because
you
know
she
kind
of
stepped
in
and
led
the
team
of
our
census
folks
as
well,
and
and
helped
coordinate
those
efforts
in
in
in
the
county
and
to
a
certain
extent.
That
also
is
another
example,
because
pam
led
the
graphics.
A
B
So,
thank
you
and
I'm
all
for
reorganization
and
making
things
more
streamlined.
My
concern
is
the
net
effect
on
the
general
fund.
It
looks
as
though
the
cost
here
is
734
347..
B
Now
I
it's
broken
down
and
I
understand
the
arp
looks
like
it's
covering
half
of
it
and
those
four
positions
will
expire
in
2024.
and
the
other
part
is
being
covered
by
state
revenue
sharing
correct.
Am
I
right
on
that.
B
Okay-
and
I,
this
is
all
new
to
me
in
terms
from
coming
from
local
state
revenue-
sharing,
has
always
been
a
big
concern.
I
know
the
county
did
not
receive
any
state
revenue
sharing
in
the
years
13
and
14..
Obviously
that
started
back
up
again.
B
I
have
a
strong
concern,
relying
on
that
for
future
needs,
because
the
state
coming
out
of
the
pandemic
and
just
it
seems
as
though
the
state
is
disinvesting
in
cities,
villages,
townships
and
counties
going
forward,
and
I
see
that
this
obviously
is
the
373
and
that's
for
this
year.
But
obviously
these
positions
are
not
going
away
except
the
four
for
the
arp,
so
that
that's
one
of
my
questions,
I
have
some
other
ones
again,
I'm
all
for
streamlining
reorganization,
making
things
more
efficient.
E
Absolutely,
commissioner,
so
yes,
the
state
shared
revenue
being
indicated
as
the
funding
source
really
does
just
cover
us
for
the
balance
of
this
fiscal
year,
which
runs
out
on
september
30th.
E
You
know,
I
think
the
the
the
intent
here
is
to
transfer
this
into
this,
the
general
county
budget.
Upon
you
know
in
your
adoption
there
would
be
a
budget
amendment
prepared
to
the
finance
committee
that
would
incorporate
this
into
the
the
budget
that
would
be
approved
and
considered
by
the
board
in
september.
So
I
wouldn't
look
at
it
like
state.
Shared
revenue
is
like
the
long-term
funding.
E
It's
just
this
is
sort
of
a
it's
part
of
the
routine
business.
We
if
we
have
a
budget
amendment
that
has
to
be
paid
for,
we
have
to
identify
upon
resources.
Revolutionary
is
not
totally
dedicated
at
this
point
in
the
fiscal
year
as
far
as
the
arp
positions,
as
you
correctly
pointed
out,
they
are,
you
know,
automatically
phased
out
with
the
elimination
of
the
funding
source.
E
E
All
of
the
extra
you
know
things
that
we've
seen
on
our
website
all
of
the
resources
that
are
available
to
your
constituents.
As
hillary
mentioned,
you
know,
pam
and
her
graphic
design
team.
They
really
have
ramped
up
their
activity
quite
a
bit,
and
so
some
of
these
positions
right
now
have
been
filled
on
a
consistent
basis
on
a
contractual
basis,
and
at
this
point
you
know
it's
clear
with
the
rescue
plan
dollars
now
adding
a
whole
other
aspect
to
all
of
our
work.
C
B
One
other
question:
I
know
that
there's
supposed
to
be
a
four
percent
reduction
in
budgets
going
forward,
so
I
noticed
that
the
county
executive
office
is
transferring
a
number
of
positions
out
into
the
opc
office
and
emergency
management.
So
who
will
be?
Will
those
will
emergency
management
have
to
cut
other
positions?
How
will
they,
how
will
they
cut
their
budget
by
four
percent?
With
this
increase
in
staffing?
A
Well
over
time
right
and
the
the
budget
process-
and
I
think
you
heard
kyle
articulate
this
a
few
nights
ago-
but
yes,
every
department
has
to
you
know
represent
what
we
have
to
do
to
pay
for
the
comp
study,
and
so
this
budget
will
reside
within
the
emergency
management
department.
So
it
will
be
factored
into
their
budget,
but
there
won't
be
any
cuts
to
emergency
management
staff
to
fund
this.
E
If
I
could
respond
as
well
so
the
way
the
county
executive's
office
has
looked
at,
this
is
each
elected
official
with
the
department,
they're
responsible
for
or
departments
are
responsible
for
sort
of
holistically
are
we're
looking
to
them
to
meet
their
objectives,
so
I
I
think
you
might
be
able
to
relate
you
know
now
is
not
the
time
to
reduce
funding
in
the
health
department
right
right
so,
but
there
are
other
departments
that
were
able
to
exceed
our
request
this
year,
so
it
all
balanced
out
when
we
looked
at
it
from
the
standpoint
of
the
department's
report
up
to
the
county
executive.
B
Thank
you.
I
I
appreciate
the
insight
and
again
I'm
I'm
all
for
reorganization
for
streamlining,
but
I'm
not
comfortable
with
supporting
this
at
the
moment
without
understanding
future
sources
for
funding,
so
I'll
have
to
wait
with
finance.
E
C
See
that,
thank
you
excellent.
Thank
you.
I
have
a
couple
questions.
So
is
there
a
specific
reason
why
the
reorganization
and
the
creation
of
the
public
communications
office
is
happening
now.
A
Sure,
yes,
so
I
mean
it
potentially
could
have
happened
in
april
right
I
mean
we
have
been
working
on
this
for
several
months
and
you
know
between
the
the
the
cares
act
and
the
pandemic,
and
then
arp
and
focusing
in
on
getting
those
acute
resolutions
over
to
you
and
the
and
the
and
the
transaction
I
mean
this
has
been.
A
We
really
have
been
working
on
this
internally
since
about
march
in
working
out
the
details
with
hr
and
fiscal
and
other
things
just
kind
of
kept
kind
of
getting
in
in
the
way
of
bringing
it
over
to
you.
E
E
C
E
These
many
of
these
people
have
been
incredible
resources
during
my
time
at
the
board,
and
they
will
continue
to
be
so
the
difference,
maybe
from
those
folks
that
were
over
in
I.t
and
the
ego
team
is
they
they
had
to
track
every
every
minute
of
their
time
and
then
bill
it
back
to
a
department
and
justify
their
existence,
and
if
they
couldn't
justify
their
existence,
the
positions
were,
all
you
know,
became
threatened.
E
E
C
E
Yeah,
so
those
are
actually
existing
positions
right
now.
The
the
proposal
before
you
is
to
move
them
under
the
human
resources
department
who
will
operate
county
executive,
administration-wide
internship
program,
finding
the
interns
placing
them
using
them
the
most
to
their
most
effective
way.
I
don't
know
if
april's
still
on
she
could
speak
to
this.
A
Yeah
again,
this
was
another
item
where
there
were
kind
of
intern
positions
spread
throughout
different
areas.
Like
you
know,
pam's
traditionally
had
a
graphics
intern
economic
developments
had
a
few
interns
and
we
decided
well
the
first.
The
decision
was
made
among
when
we
did
the
economic
development
reorg
to
kind
of
group
them
together
and
then
hr
expressed.
A
You
know
brittany
and
april
expressed
in
a
a
desire
to
have
them
housed
in
hr,
so
they
could
really
come
up
with
an
intern
program
and
they
could
do
the
recruitment
they
could
get
from
each
department
and
area
when
they
needed
interns.
They
could
make
sure
that
they
had
an
educated
educational
program.
You
know
they
could
operate
as
a
cohort
and
know
each
other,
and
I
thought
that
made
great
sense
because
I
think
there
needs
to
be.
A
You
know
an
intern
program
that
you
know
that
has
some
trainings
have
some
education
and
allows
departments
to
kind
of
say
how
they
would
use
interns,
and
so
that's
what
we're
making
official
in
this
in
this
resolution.
E
Very
much
in
the
spirit
of
de-siloing
and
providing
the
service.
You
know,
I
think.
C
I
I
And
so
who
is
going
to
be
leading
this
communication
team
are?
Are
these
folks
going
to
be
reporting
to
tom.
A
You'll
see
in
the
resolution
and
in
the
org
chart,
the
this
resolution
does
create
a
manager
position
for
the
office
of
public
communications.
It's
vacant
right
now.
You
know
I
have
provided
the
leadership
to
this
team.
They
provided
their
own
leadership,
but
at
some
point
in
the
future
there
that
does
give
us
the
ability
to
hire
a
manager
of
office
of
of
the
office
of
public
communication.
So
then
tom
would
have
you
know
three
managers
under
him:
homeland,
homeland
security
building
safety,
and
then
this
public
communications.
D
Them
found
them
to
be
a
tremendous
benefit
to
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we
were
doing.
C
As
well
as
learning
many
times,
how
often
some
of
our
our
past
did
cross.
C
Frankly,
of
getting
together
on
some
of
this
messaging
and
some
of
our
community
work,
which
ashley's
been
just
tremendous
with
so
knowing
the
staff,
that's
here,
I
I
certainly
am
comfortable
and
honored
to
to.
I
Okay,
because
if
you
look
at
an
organizational
chart,
one
thing
I've
been
so
impressed
with
is
how
we've
moved
things
around
to
the
appropriate.
We
we've
changed
departments
locations
we've
moved
them
where
it
makes
sense.
This
one
is,
if
you
look
at
an
organizational
chart,
is
a
little
bit
of
a
stretch
to
me.
However,
I
think
my
vision
was
that
we
set
up
a
communications
department
that
worked
and
coordinated
with
every
department,
including
the
board
of
commissioners.
I
I
I'd,
like
you,
I'd
like
to
ask
you
to
go
through
some
of
these
classifications
descriptions,
it's
easier
for
me
to
know
who
these
people
are,
when
you
say,
a
media
multimedia
specialist,
I'm
assuming
you're
talking
about
caitlyn.
E
No,
no,
our
multimedia
specialist-
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
go
through
that.
E
The
multimedia
specialist
is
eli,
who
certainly
came
in
many
pinches
for
the
board
of
commissioners
when
we
needed
to
have
something
broadcast
and
work
through
some
of
the
issues
we
had
with
remote
meetings
and
interfacing
video
content
that
type
of
day.
So
he
he's
at
I.t
now
so
he'll
be
moving
over
to
this
creative
operations
team.
So.
E
He
is
merit
right
now.
E
E
The
technical
I've
worked
a
lot.
E
A
I'm
sorry
I
just
don't
want,
I
do
want
to
say
well
you
keep
going,
but
we
do
especially
since
elevating
pam
to
a
leadership
role.
You
know
we
did
need
to
add
graphic
design
work.
So
that's
why
it.
A
Dinan
chris
was
in
economic
development.
He
is
kind
of
eli's
partner,
so
he
does
all
of
the
video.
So
he
would
have
been
the
one
that
went
out
and
taped
the
individual
interviews
with
people
getting
their
vaccines
and
put
together
that
awesome
video.
So
yes,
he
does.
He
does
a
lot
of
video
marketing
work
for
us
again.
E
A
Michelle
diamond,
so
that
that
we
we
we
used
christie's
position.
That
was
an
open
interview
process.
Michelle
comes
to
us
from
hr,
so
she
applied
for
that
position
and
it
was
hired
into
that
position
from
hr.
E
Project
supervisor
trying
to
connect,
because
somebody
kind
of
throw
out
a
lifeline
project
supervisor.
A
I
A
Allen's
been
with
the
county
for
a
few
years,
he
was
previous
and
still
he
would
have
been
the
one
that
wrote
the
telegraph
the
employee
newsletter,
so
he
he
he
spends
a
lot
of
time
talking
to
employees
and
writing
up
stories
and
he
he
is
engaged
in
writing
the
employee
newsletter
right
now.
That's
his
role.
E
E
First,
so
there
is
the
transfer
under
the
one
resolve
clause
and
then
there's
the
re
titling
and
reclassification
of
that
position.
I
Okay,
central
employee
records
coordinator.
E
So
we
had
another
vcep
taken
at
on
the
fifth
floor
or
was.
A
E
I
I
A
A
The
I.t,
you
know,
atmosphere
and
an
approach
is
is
very
different
than
what
this
department
is,
and
the
county
executive
does
not
support,
creating
an
independent
department
for
this
role.
So
we
talked
about
this
a
lot
and
we
all
agreed
that
it
made
the
most
sense
for
it
to
be
within
the
emergency
management
department.
E
Again
back
to
the
point
of
not
following
this
model
of
billing
back
departments
having
them
spend
a
lot
of
their
time
following
minute
by
minute
who
they're
servicing.
The
idea
here
is
to
build
a
strong
team,
that's
available
to
all
county
departments,
outside
of
that
it
model
of
cost
recovery
and
continual
survival
mode
of
having
to
ensure
they've
got
enough
operational
charges
in
order
to
you
know,
stay
up
low.
E
E
I
will
say
you
know:
in
the
past
administration
we
were
discouraged
from
relying
heavily
on
the
e-gov
team
and
really
encouraged
to
create
our
own.
So
I
think
this
is
a
change
in
philosophy.
A
Okay,
commissioners,
they
they
they
have
throughout
the
pandemic,
have
joined
the
weekly
communications
call
so
that
they
are
fully
informed
of
everything
that's
going
on
and
that
we're
fully
informed
about
what
the
what
the
commission
is,
what
their
priorities
are
as
well.
Well,.
I
A
I
think
that
you
may
know
they
brought
on
tyrone
jordan,
who
was
a
member
of
the
census,
outreach
team
to
do
veterans
outreach
he
was
with
us
during
cares
act
and
did
all
of
the
outreach
to
the
veterans
post
for
that
grant,
and
so
yes,
ashley's
team,
you
know
he's
part
of
the
weekly
collaboration.
I
I
I
would
like
to
have
continuing
discussions
with
mr
ward
about
certain
particular
aspects
of
it,
but
what
what
a
great
team
just
to
see,
pam
and
kathy-
and
I
don't
know
caitlin
yet
and
I'm
just
getting
to
know
ashley
and
of
course,
tom's
work
speaks
for
itself.
So
I
wish
you
all
good
luck
in
this
new
venture.
C
All
righty,
if
possible,
I'd
like
to
make
a
request
to
have
the
powerpoint
slides
that
was
shown
at
the
beginning.
Can
we
get
that
sent
out
to
all
members
and
then
cam
would
that
be
receiving
file
now
or
receiving
file
at
our
next.
C
Is
there
a
motion
to
receive
and
file
the
powerpoint
slides
motion
by
commissioner
joliet
support
by
commissioner
jackson,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
the
post?
C
If
there
isn't
any
further
questions
or
discussion
on
item
number
three
can
we
have,
or
I'm
sorry
item
number
four,
the
transfer
to
the
office
of
public
communications,
division
and
reorganization
of
positions?
Let's
do
a
roll
call.
Please

item

four
commissioners.
