I HERE/APPROVE THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION , Mir) h.?
BY: Robert H. Gordine, County Commissioner, District #2
IN RE: SALARY INCREASE FOR CERTAIN EMPLOYEES
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS 1978 saw Oakland County employees experiencing a loss in
real income due to a continuing high rate of inflation; and
WHEREAS the County Executive and this Board determined nevertheless
that an effort would be made to comply with the President's wage guidelines
and approved a seven percent (7%) general increase for non-union employees
effective January 1, 1979; and
WHEREAS 1979 has been a year of even greater inflation and our
employees have seen the seven percent increase eroded by a ten and three
tenths percent (10.3%) inflation by August of this year; and
WHEREAS this Board cannot insure our employees fully against a loss
in real income due to inflation we must nevertheless recognize its effects on
employees and treat the employees fairly within the parameters of prudent use
of our financial resources; and
WHEREAS the rate of inflation for 1979 could well exceed thirteen
percent (13%) and the County Executive in August requested a two and one-half
percent (2-1/2%) increase as a partial relief to our employees and one which
is within our financial resources;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the salary ranges of all classi-
fications not represented by bargaining units and those within bargaining
units where the ratified agreement calls for such an adjustment and all County
elected officials, excluding summer and student classifications, appointed
commission and board members, Probate Judges and elected Board of Commission
Members, be increased by two and one-half percent (2.L1/2%) effective
August 25, 1979.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the amounts required to fund this increase
for budgeted positions be transferred from the Salaries Reserve item of
"Salary, Fringe Benefit and/or Salaries Reserve Adjustments" to the appropriate
department and division budgets.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the forpsOng resoluf -
