RESOLUTION REGARDING GREAT LAKES WATER
WITHDRAWALS AND EXPORTS
RESOLUTION #04-189
WHEREAS, Ingham County, Michigan is at the center of
the Great Lakes ecosystem, which contains 18% of the world's surface
freshwater, a resource that supplies both aesthetic and economic value to our
state and region; and
WHEREAS,
Ingham County fosters water resource protection through the watershed
management and wellhead protection programs conducted by the Tri-County
Regional Planning Commission of which it is a member. In addition, drinking water and wastewater
programs of the Ingham County Environmental Health Department are designed and
operated for protecting local aquifers.
Other county programs, assist in protecting water resources in a variety
of ways.
WHEREAS,
Ingham County recognizes that at all governmental levels, and in both the
public and private sectors, water resource protection must be as comprehensive
as possible. As knowledge about water
resources increases and technology improves, both Ingham County and the State
of Michigan must take advantage of these advances and adjust laws and programs
to provide improved, appropriate protection of the waters of the state.
WHEREAS,
Michigan has the most to gain or lose from policies that either prudently
protect or unwisely sacrifice our freshwater resources; and
WHEREAS,
one of the great risks posed to Michigan's future is the threat of bulk export
of Great Lakes water, which could devastate ecosystems, significantly impair
the state's manufacturing economy, undermine tourism, and cause significant new
taxpayer costs for dredging and shoreline relief; and
WHEREAS,
in the Great Lakes Charter of 1985, the great lakes states committed to enact
legislation requiring the registration of all water withdrawals of more than
100,000 gallons per day and the regulation of all water withdrawals of more
than 2 million gallons per day; and
WHEREAS,
Michigan is one of the few Great Lakes states that lacks adequate statutory
controls on the amount of water that any entity can withdraw from groundwater
or surface water, regardless of the environmental or economic impact of such
withdrawals; and
WHEREAS,
unregulated groundwater pumping for bottled water, agricultural irrigation and
various other uses have raised concerns regarding possible negative effects on
habitat, wildlife health and stream flow; and
WHEREAS,
Governor Granholm has urged the Michigan Legislature to enact the Water Legacy
Act to begin setting a legal framework for the withdrawal of water from
Michigan; and
WHEREAS,
the Council of Great Lakes governors, working with the premiers of Ontario and
Quebec in the annex 2001 process, are developing a resource-based standard for
water withdrawal based on the principles of prevention
water
loss, no significant adverse impacts and improvement to the waters and water
dependent natural resources of the basin; and
THEREFORE
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners supports efforts
to halt the practice of bulk water removal from our Great Lakes.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners urges the
Michigan Legislature to enact conservation-based statutory controls on the
withdrawal of water, Michigan's most precious resource, in order to strengthen
our defense against water exports.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Commissioners calls on all corporations
operating in Michigan voluntarily to refrain from exploiting new water sources
for out-of-state and out-of-Great Lakes Basin export for bottling or other
purposes until such statutory controls are enacted.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Board of Commissioners urges companies doing business
in Michigan to practice corporate responsibility in its protection of the
environment.

RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF HOUSE BILLS 5865 AND 5866
RESOLUTION #04-197
WHEREAS, Public Act 245 of 1935 was established to
provide education tuition assistance for the orphans of Michigan military
service persons killed in war, and was later expanded to include children of
veterans who died subsequently from a service‑connected disability, and
those with a total disability incurred in time of war or peace; and
WHEREAS, state funding for this program was
initially provided to the State Board of Education and educational
institutions; and
WHEREAS, Public Act 9 of 1946 established the
Michigan Veterans Trust Fund to provide temporary emergency financial
assistance to eligible wartime veterans and their dependents from the interest
earned on the Trust; and
WHEREAS, Public Act 9 of 1946, the Administration of
Public Act 245 ‑ Education of Children of Veterans, was transferred to
the Veterans Trust Fund Board of Trustees; and
WHEREAS, the use and cost of this Public Act 245
education program has continued to increase so that the cost out of the
interest on the Trust is now near $1 million per year and rising; and
WHEREAS, the amount remaining from the interest on
the Trust to help wartime veterans and their dependents throughout the State of
Michigan with temporary financial emergencies is, in turn, declining to an
amount now around $1 million per year, which is insufficient, requiring the
Trust principle to be spent for this purpose; and
WHEREAS, Public Act 245 education costs continue to
rise on the one hand, and actual cost of mortgage, utilities, groceries and
other emergency needs continue to rise on the other requiring the Trust
principal to be spent to help our veterans.
The very future of the Michigan Veterans Trust Fund is in doubt, unless
some action is finally taken to more appropriately fund Public Act 245
education program; and
WHEREAS, recent Trust Fund policy changes have
severely limited the Ingham County Trust Fund committee and other Trust Fund
committees across the State of Michigan in their ability to assist needy
veterans; and
WHEREAS, emergency grant awards for Ingham County
veterans and their dependents have decreased from $61,000 in FY 2000 to $34,113
in FY 2003; and
WHEREAS, the Michigan Legislature has been presented
with House Bills 5865 and 5866; and
WHEREAS, these bills delete outdated sections of the
Michigan Veterans Trust Fund Act, repeal Public Act 245 of 1935 to enact the
new Children of Veterans Tuition Act providing a tuition waiver program to be
administered by the Michigan Higher Education Authority beginning in 2004-2005.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County
Board of Commissioners hereby expresses support for Michigan House Bills 5865
and 5866.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Ingham County Clerk is
directed to send a copy of this resolution to the Ingham County state
legislative delegation, Michigan Association of Counties and the Governor.
