Oakland County residents and county employees with student debt will have the opportunity -beginning NEXT WEEK - to lighten that burden, thanks to a partnership between the county and Savi, a nonprofit that was founded to address the student loan debt crisis.

More than 170,000 Oakland County residents owe an estimated $6 billion in student loan debt that has people struggling to keep up with bills, maintain reasonable credit scores, and plan for the future.

Savi is an organization that provides an easy and straightforward way to see if you are eligible for federal, state, and private programs that provide loan payment reductions or elimination.

Through the partnership, which is supported by the county’s leadership and approved by the Board of Commissioners, the county is picking up the cost of the service, which typically runs $70 a year, for county residents and employees.

Savi will determine if a person is eligible for a whole host of student loan repayment programs and help the individual fill out the paperwork.

The program officially launches on Monday, September 30 at oakgov.com/savi.

Curbside Leaf Vacuuming begins each fall around mid-October.

Guidelines

Leaf collection begins in mid-October, and ends in early December (weather dependent).

To ensure that leaves from your property are collected, please follow these guidelines:

• Place leaf piles as close to the edge of the street as possible. Think of higher piles, not wider piles. It's important to allow for two-way vehicular traffic at all times.
• Do NOT place leaf piles in the drainage ditch. Leaf removal crews will not rake out ditches.
• Homeowners with addresses on Santa Barbara and Bloomfield should place leaf piles along adjacent side streets.
• Do NOT include trash, animal feces, twigs, branches, grass clippings, flowers, and other yard waste with leaves. They often cause mechanical malfunctions. If the leaf removal crew discovers these items in a leaf pile, they will leave it and move on to the next address.
• Help ensure crew safety and timely removal by placing leaf piles several feet from garbage cans and other refuse.
• Expect some residue - "leaf dust". It is an inevitable by-product of the leaf collection method and equipment.
• Do NOT park vehicles on or near leaf piles.
• Please be patient. The leaf collection schedule is weather-dependent. it takes longer to collect wet leaves. Several windy days in a row often result in larger leaf piles, which can also take longer to collect.
• If you prefer, you may still use yard waste bags for leaves during the season.
• If you employ a landscape company, please advise them of these guidelines.

This is anticipated to be a spring 2025 project.
• Approved a Marketing Agreement Amendment with Service Line Warranties of America (SLWA). SLWA has expanded its offerings to include interior service lines and water heaters. This agreement allows SLWA to market these offerings to the community.
