Agenda Item No. 52

Introduced by the Judiciary Committee of the:

INGHAM COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

RESOLUTION DISSOLVING THE INGHAM COUNTY FRIEND OF THE COURT

CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE

RESOLUTION #09-241

WHEREAS, Resolution 97-119 authorized the creation of the Ingham County Friend of the Court Citizens Advisory Committee after the State Legislature passed PA 366 of 1996, known as the Friend of the Court Act, which required counties to establish Citizens Advisory Committees; and

WHEREAS, since that time PA 366 of 1996 was amended to remove the requirement that counties must establish a Citizens Advisory Committee; and

WHEREAS, as a result, very few counties within the State of Michigan continue to have a Friend of the Court Citizens Advisory Committee.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners hereby dissolves the Ingham County Friend of the Court Citizens Advisory Committee effective immediately.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the current members of the Friend of the Court Citizens Advisory Committee will be sent a letter thanking them for their service to the citizens of Ingham County.
