IN RE: ESTABLISHMENT OF ONE (1) CLERK III POSITION IN THE CIRCUIT COURT
ASSIGNMENT CLERK'S OFFICE
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Michigan Supreme Court has approved the Sixth Judicial
Circuit Court's local Court Rule 18 which sets forth the procedure for the
mediation of all non-divorce civil cases; and
WHEREAS the mediation process results in fewer trials through
the settlement of disputes before a trial date is set; and
WHEREAS the County realizes a cost savings when disputes are
settled prior to going to trial; and
WHEREAS mediation insures that cases which must be tried will
be tried on a timely basis; and
WHEREAS the costs of mediation are borne by the parties to the
dispute; and
WHEREAS the Circuit Court Assignment Clerk's Office has realized
an increased workload due to the additional processing required of cases
to be mediated;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that one (1) Clerk III position be
established in the Circuit Court Assignment Clerk's Office contingent upon
the establishment of a mediation fee schedule sufficient to offset salary
and benefit costs of the position and associated operating costs as
determined by the Personnel Department and Budget Division, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk III position shall be
deleted at such time that there is insufficient mediation fee revenue to
fund the position or when there is insufficient mediation workload to
justify the continuation of the position.
The Personnel Committee, by John J. McDonald, Chairperson, moves
the adoption of the foregoing resolution.

BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, DENNIS MURPHY, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: ESTABLISHMENT OF A CLERK III, ASSIGNMENT CLERK'S OFFICE - MISCELLANEOUS
RESOLUTION #9149
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XI-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has reviewed
Miscellaneous Resolution #9149 and finds $11,162 is the current annual cost of
said position excluding fringe benefits. It would cost $1,710 to fund said
position from November 3, 1979 through the end of the year. The fee schedule
upon which the subject position is contingent has not been established as it
would require the Supreme Court of Michigan's approval.
The Finance Committee finds $1,710 available from the Contingent Fund; said
funds to be transferred to the Assignment Clerk Unit of the Circuit Court salary
budget. The $1,710 is not to be expended until such time the Board of Commis-
sioners adopts an increased fee schedule, set by the Michigan State Supreme Court
for mediation of disputes.
