BACKGROUND, RE: PROPOSED USE OF TITLE II
COUNTER-CYCLICAL FUNDS
By Board of Commissioners Resolutions #7419 and 7420, dated January 22,
1976, grants for Public Works Improvement Projects under Title X were accepted in
the total amount of $1,198,896, Subsequent resolutions authorized hiring as
many Maintenance Laborers as required to complete the projects and expend the
funds by December 31, 1976. Currently, there are 238 people employed by Oakland
County under these grants.
As of December 31, 1976, approximately $45,000 of these funds will be
unexpended, The Federal Government has indicated that it will extend the periods
of the grants beyond December 31, 1976 to permit use of unexpended funds.
In the last few days, we have been informed that Oakland County will receive
"counter-cyclical" funds in the amount of $440,000 for the first two quarters of
1977 with an estimated $300,000 for the rest of the year. These funds are
restricted in use with the main thrust being to preserve employment and avoid
lay offs. •
The administration believes that the optimum use of these funds, consistent
with the intent of the grant, is to continue the employment of as many as
possible of the people funded by the original Public Works Improvement grants.
The counter-cyclical funds of $440,000, plus the $45,000 of the unexpended
funds, should provide continued employment for approximately 238 people at the
outset, and assuming noimal attrition and no replacement hiring, it should be
possible to continue employment at least until March 1, 1977.
The employees will be working on needed projects in addition to completing
the work undertaken in the original grants. Examples of these are beginning
the restoration of the old hospital for eventual use as administrative offices,
painting and clean-up of machine and equipment rooms in all County buildings,
and fence repairsin County parks.
