Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:

approved the proposal for conversion of a part-time contract pathologist to
a full-time salaried position at the Medical Examiner Division; and
WHEREAS, the overall increase in autopsies performed by the Medical
Examiner Division over the past several years together with necessary
increases in the contract fee for autopsies performed by the contract
pathologist has resulted in a 1978 expenditure for contract autopsies of $60,400
or $14,672 over budget in that line item (Exhibit I, attached); and
WHEREAS, conversion of the contractual arrangement to a full-time salaried
pathologist position would result in an annual cost at 1979 rates of $48,568
including fringes or $11,832 less than the 1978 actual cost; and
WHEREAS, substantial advantages would accrue from having a full-time
salaried pathologist on staff in addition to the Medical Examiner; such advantages
to include:
1. Quicker service for families, funeral homes and law enforcement •
agencies with reduced cost vs. 1978 actual expense.
2. Increased opportunity for pathologist to be present at scene of
crime where appropriate.
3. Increased opportunity to utilize expertise of Medical Examiner for
laboratory improvement/cost reduction efforts at Public Health
Division and Medical Care Facility; and
WHEREAS, the present contract pathologist has expressed a willingness to
serve in the full-time salaried position.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
approve the creation of one full-time salaried pathologist position at the
currently established annual salary for that classification of
$40,295.
