The Finance Committee, having reviewed the above referenced resolution,reports the following:


692

1. At this time, there are a number of unknown factors, which do notallow for a complete assessment of the financial impact relatedto this resolution. Some of the factors include:a. The number of County employees called to active duty.b. The rank and pay scale for each reservist called to active

duty.c. The duration of the call-up to active duty.

2. Due to the fact that the County budget salary and fringe benefitdollars is an amount equal to “full employment”, sufficient fundsshould exist in the department’s budget to cover the expense.Should a department, however, require temporary replacementpersonnel to continue standard operations, additional funding maybe required.

3. The amount of County funds expended on this effort will bereported during the Quarterly Financial Forecasts.

MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #01318BY: Commissioner Ruel E. McPherson, District #25RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS - SUPPORT EFFORTS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OFMICHIGAN'S BORDER'STo the Oakland County Board of CommissionersChairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:

WHEREAS, in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Americansfrom all walks of life are stepping forward and providing unprecedented,heroic service to their country in its time of extraordinary need; and

WHEREAS, many of them are working in vital but behind-the-scenes roles.Nowhere is this spirit of heroic service better exemplified than in SoutheastMichigan, where officers from 33 law-enforcement agencies are workingvirtually around the clock to help keep traffic moving safely and efficientlyat the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit and the BlueWater Bridge in Port Huron; and

WHEREAS, without this local assistance, U.S. Customs and Immigrationand Naturalization Service (INS) agents would find it difficult – if notvirtually impossible – to prevent massive traffic backups at the busiestborder-crossing points between the United States and Canada; and

WHEREAS, the Customs and INS officials have sought emergency back-upassistance. In response, 33 local law enforcement agencies are assistingfederal agents with vehicle inspections and security; and

WHEREAS, it is imperative the National Guard and local law enforcementpersonnel remain on duty for the next 9 to 12 months, while permanentreplacements are trained and fully deployed to handle the heightened securitydemands at our northern border; and

WHEREAS, while we applaud the efforts of these local agencies that arevolunteering 76 officers a day to supplement the INS and Customs staffingshortages, we recognize that these efforts cannot continue without justcompensation; and

WHEREAS, the Detroit Regional Chamber’s Northern Border for EconomicSecurity and Trade (NBEST) supports earmarking $10 million in federal fundsto support these local law-enforcement agencies; and

WHEREAS, Canada is, by far, our nation’s biggest trading partner with$1 billion worth of goods crossing the U.S-Canadian border every day – 40percent of it through the Detroit Region. Any long-term disruptions to this


709

flow would undoubtedly have a serious negative impact on both our nationalsecurity – and the economic development, trade and tourism in Oakland Countyand throughout southeast Michigan.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Oakland County Board ofCommissioners does hereby support emergency funding for local law enforcementagencies and the National Guard, allowing for their continued assistance inmaintaining a secure and efficient border system at the Ambassador Bridge,Detroit Windsor Tunnel and the Blue Water Bridge.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT copies of this adopted resolution be sentto President George W.
