TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS during 1979 the Personnel Appeal Board heard and made a
ruling in the case of Robert Colfer vs. Maintenance and Operations; and
WHEREAS the Appeal Board's ruling was subsequently appealed by
the Department to the Circuit Court; and
WHEREAS the Personnel Appeal Board was served with an Order to
Show Cause by Judge John N. O'Brien, to appear in the Oakland County Circuit
Court on Wednesday, March 26, 1980 regarding the appeal of the Colfer case;
and
WHEREAS the timing of the Court proceedings made it impossible for
the Appeal Board to follow the normal procedures for Board approval of outside
counsel fees prior to the Court Hearing; and
WHEREAS the Personnel Appeal Board retained outside counsel to
represent them, at a cost of $375,00; and
WHEREAS your Personnel Committee has reviewed this request and the
circumstances and concurs with payment of the fee,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that $375.00 be authorized for payment
