Miscellaneous Resolution No
BY: GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMtv\ITTEE - Robert W. Page, Chairman
IN RE: OPPOSITION TO SENATE BILL 1174- REQUIRING PAYMENT OF OVERTIME
FOR ALL FIREFIGHTERS ON DUTY IN EXCESS OF 51 HOURS PER WEEK
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr, Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 1174 was introduced to mandate payment of overtime to
firefighters on duty in excess of 54 hours rather than the present 56 hours, and
WHEREAS, the bill was amended by the Senate reducing the straight time limit even
Further to 51 hours, then the bill with this amendment was passed by the Senate, and
WHEREAS, the mandated requirement for paying overtime to firefighters on duty in
excess of 51 hours would be very costly if municipalities are to retain their present level of
services. The Michigan Municipal League estimates added costs statewide as a result of the
Senate passed version of Senate 1iM 1174 would be. between 71 and 8 million dollars,
As an example of the cost to implement this act within Oakland County Communities,
the City of Southfield has projected an added cosi. of $94,000 per year based on
Senate 3111 1174 as introduced (overtime over 54 hours). As amended to prescribe overtime
on hours in excess of 51, Senate Bill 1174 would now cost the City of Southfield
well in excess of $200,000,
NOW THEREFORE BE Ti RESOLVED, that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
opposes Senate Bill 1174 and so recommends to the county legislators,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Oakland
County legislators in Lansing and to the County's legislative agent,
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move the adoption
of the foregoing resolution.
