MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #
BY: FINANCE COMMITTEE, PAUL E. KASPER, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: IMPROVEMENTS TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY OVERTIME CONTROL PROGRAM
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS it is the Board of Commissioners responsibility to appropriate
funds and to establish policy by which those funds are administered; and
WHEREAS the County Executive is responsible for the administration of
expenditures within appropriations; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners by adoption of Miscellaneous Reso-
lution #7025 on April 9, 1975 authorized an overtime control program to
be administered by the County Executive's Department of Management &
Budget; and
WHEREAS a budgetary review procedure was established whereby operating
departments are required to submit formal requests for overtime to the
Budget Division for review and approval; and
WHEREAS implementation of the overtime control program resulted in
eliminating the truly abusive situations as well as reducing overtime
costs in relation to 1974 by $479,485 and $616,388 in 1975 and 1976,
respectively; and
WHEREAS there still remains the misuse of overtime to engender the
unauthorized expansion of staff and the mismanagement of overtime to relieve
situations caused by excessive sick leave and poor scheduling of annual
leave time; and
WHEREAS the current overtime control program does not adequately
provide for appropriate penalties, either budgetary or disciplinary, in
the event of noncompliance and the administrative authority for ensuring
compliance has been eroded over time as a result of challenges through
the courts and grievance process; and
WHEREAS overtime costs have increased--particularly in Departments
outside the direct administrative control of the County Executive and
the Board of Commissioners; and
8533
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners is desirous of continuing and improving
the overtime control program as it applies to all departments and agencies
within Oakland County government.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
does reaffirm their support for an Overtime control program as authorized in
Miscellaneous Resolution #7025 and further supports the County Executive's
administrative authority to make whatever procedural changes are deemed
necessary for the performance for this assigned responsibility; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners intends to
assess appropriate sanctions as authorized by law against individuals,
supervisors and/or Department Heads for repeated actions construed to be
in noncompliance with any Overtime Control policy or procedure resulting
in the unauthorized expenditure of funds.
The Finance Committee, by Paul E. Kasper, Chairperson, moves the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.
