IN RE: SALARY CHANCE FOR NON-REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the County did not grant pay increases in January to
County employees due to the economic climate in the state and the uncertainty
of the effect of the economy on the County budget; and
WHEREAS non-union County employees accepted this decision as a
necessary step in assuring the County's continuing fiscal integrity; and
WHEREAS the County has taken a conservative position relative to
salaries over the years by not giving automatic cost-of-living allowances
and by granting general salary increases to non-police employees of 94% from
December 1972 through December 1982 while the cost-of-living index has
increased 125%; and
WHEREAS it was necessary in the current "Act 312 Police-Fire
Arbitration Case" for the County to offer a 3.5% salary increase to POAM
represented employees, effective with the first pay period an or after
January 1, 1983; and
WHEREAS the rate of inflation for 1983 is currently projected to be
between 4% and 5%, and a review of the budget indicates a moderate salary
increase can now be given to non-union employees with total 1983 expenditures
remaining within projected revenues;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that salary ranges for County classi-
fications not represented by bargaining units be increased by three and one-
half percent (3.5%) effective July 1, 1983 including elected and appointed
officials, but excluding:
Commissioners, Commissioner-Chairperson, Commissioner-Vice-
Chairperson, and
Appointed Board and Commission members, and
Circuit Court Judges (currently at statutory maximum), and
the part-time and hourly classes of Student, Summer Employee
Levels I - IV, Recreation Specialist I & II, Magistrate, Gate
Attendant, Parks Helper, Nursing Assistant Trainee, Food
Service Worker Trainee, Youth Corp Employee Levels I and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the County supplement of salary for
Probate Judges, excluding the statutorily mandated County contribution,
be increased by 2.99% effective July 1, 1983 which will raise their total
salary to the statutory maximum.
