RESOLUTION TO AMEND THE AGREEMENT FOR THE COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH BOARD OF CLINTON-EATON-INGHAM COUNTIES



RESOLUTION #01-148



WHEREAS, the Agreement for the Community Mental Health Board of Clinton-Eaton-Ingham Counties, as amended in 1996, contains the formula by which the participating counties are represented on the Community Mental Health Board; and



WHEREAS, the Community Mental Health Board of Clinton-Eaton-Ingham Counties, made up of appointed representatives and commissioners from each county has developed a revised representation formula implementation method for use in Fiscal Year 2002 and in subsequent new census years; and



WHEREAS, the revised representation formula implementation method agreed upon by the Community Mental Health Board of Clinton-Eaton-Ingham Counties represents a change from that contained in the Agreement.



THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Agreement be amended by the third amendment to the Agreement for the Community Mental Health Board of Clinton-Eaton-Ingham Counties, adding to Section V of the Agreement with the following, effective May 1, 2001.



Establishment of the Board



Evaluation of the Census data for the purpose of determining county representation should occur every ten years soon after the receipt of the new census data. This evaluation should be made by the staff of the Community Mental Health Board, approved by the CMH Board of Directors and be reported to the county administrator of each county. This review should occur in a timely fashion once the data is available. The evaluation should determine the number of appointees to the CMH Board from each county. The number of appointees from each county for the subsequent year will be determined based on that analysis.



The new plan for County representation should become effective on January first of the next year when appointments are regularly made by the respective counties.



BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board Chairperson and County Clerk are authorized to sign the agreement upon approval as to form by the County Attorney.
