BY: PERSONNEL COMMITTEE - John J. McDonald, Chairperson
IN RE: JAIL LOBBY SECURITY MODIFICATIONS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Sheriff had requested and received Security services
provided by the Safety Division of Central Services; and
WHEREAS the Sheriff now requests the Safety Division positions
providing said service be transferred to his budget and control; and
WHEREAS your Personnel Committee has explored the proposition of
transfer to the Sheriff's Department and continuation of three (3) Safety
Officer positions, as requested, as well as cost effective alternatives that
would provide comparable security measures; and
WHEREAS Facilities Engineering has proposed modest physical modi-
fications to the jail lobby area which would provide a sufficient and
continuous level of building security at a one time cost less than the
annual cost of one (1) Safety Officer position plus modest annual maintenance
and repair costs; and
WHEREAS the proposed modifications have been reviewed and approved
by the State certified fire inspector in accord with applicable fire and
safety regulations; and
WHEREAS proposed modifications can be accomplished in a relatively
short period with resulting, ongoing, annual savings in excess of $68,000.00,
at current salary rates, for security services in the jail complex lobby; and
WHEREAS physical modifications to the jail lobby area would include
bullet proof glass to close off existing office space adjacent to the jail
lobby, electronic door locks, an audio/video system to be monitored by
current Sheriff's personnel in the jail visitors reception area and an elec-
tronic warning device to secure security reinforcement from existing jail
staff as required,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Department of Central Services
be authorized to proceed with physical modifications to the jail lobby area
as proposed at a cost not to exceed $9,000.00.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the three (3) existing Safety Officer
positions currently providing security services in the jail lobby area be
reassigned to other Safety Division assignments to alleviate increasing
overtime workload and costs an completion of the recommended building
modifications.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Personnel Committee, I move
the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
