BY: PERSONNEL COMMITTEE - John J. McDonald, Chairperson
IN RE: PROBATE COURT - RECLASSIFICATION OF COUNTY AGENTS AND ASSISTANT COUNTY
AGENT POSITIONS AND TRANSFER OF CERTAIN OTHER POSITIONS TO CHILDREN'S
VILLAGE
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Probate Court has six (6) Child Welfare Worker II-Assistant
County Agent and one (1) Child Welfare Worker II-County Agent positions
which are paid directly in part by the State of Michigan and part by the
County; and
WHEREAS employees in these positions are appointed by Probate
Judges and do not have status within the County Merit System; and
WHEREAS this situation has caused repeated problems regarding
the incumbents' lack of opportunity to compete for competitive examinations
for promotion, management's lack of flexibility regarding work assignments,
the need for special considerations for this group in labor negotiations,
and an increase in administrative detail required involving payroll and
attendance; and
WHEREAS the State of Michigan provides an option for these em-
ployees to be full County employees with the County receiving a grant to
partially offset costs; and
w77:AS the net total additional cost to the County for converting
all seven positions is currently estimated to be $23,949; and
WHEREAS the County and Probate Court negotiating team reached
agreement with AFSC&ME, Local 2437, with respect to the effect on employee
benefit dates, application of seniority in layoffs, and Merit System status,
should the Board of Commissioners approve reclassifying the seven (7) posi-
tions to full funded County positions supported by State Grant funding;
and
WHEREAS said agreement made no commitment to the union which would
diminish the Board of Commissioners' authority to establish or reclassify
these or any other positions; and
WHEREAS your Personnel Committee has reviewed the matter and sup-
ports the reclassification of the seven (7) positions; and
WHEREAS in another area of concern the work demands upon the
counseling staff at Children's Village have diversified and expanded to the
point where additional full-time Child Welfare Workers are needed to perform
counseling functions; and
POS. # CURRENT UNIT PROPOSED UNIT
WHEREAS the transfer of two (2) Child Welfare Worker II positions
from the Foster Care & Adoptions unit of Probate Court to Children's Village
would allow the positions to be supported in part with State of Michigan
Child Care Fund monies with reimbursement estimated at S27,270, to more
than offset the remaining costs of the County Agent, Assistant County Agent
reclassifications noted above; and
WHEREAS the transfer of an additional Child Welfare Worker II
position from the Alternatives to Secure Detention unit of Probate Court
to Children's Village would provide additional needed counseling in residen-
tial units at the Village,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that six (6) Child Welfare Worker II-
Assistant County Agent positions and one (1) Child
Agent position as identified below be reclassified

IN RE: MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #85009 -PROBATE COURT-RECLASSIFICATION OF
COUNTY AGENTS AND ASSISTANT COUNTY POSITIONS AND TRANSFER OF CERTAIN
OTHER POSITIONS TO CHILDREN'S VILLAGE
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XI-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed
Miscellaneous Resolution #85009 and finds:
1) The Probate Court is requesting six (6) Child Welfare Worker II-
Assistant County Agent positions and one (1) Child Welfare Worker II-
County Agent position be reclassified to Child Welfare Worker II,
2) Currently, these seven (7) positions receive partial compensation
directly from the State; the proposed reclassification would make them
100% County funded with the State reimbursing the County directly,
3) The cost of this proposal for 1985 is $19,958 based on the attached
Schedule I,
4) The Probate Court is also requesting three (3) Child Welfare Worker II
positions be transferred from Probate Court to Children's Village to
serve as counselors,
5) Of these three (3) positions to be transferred to Children's Village,
one (1) is currently eligible for reimbursement under the Child Care
Fund agreement and the other two positions would become eligible for
reimbursement once transferred. Additional revenues will not be
recognized at this time due to probability of 1985 expenses exceeding
the State cap limitation.
6) Funds for this proposal shall be transferred as follows:
