BY: PERSONNEL PRACTICES COMMITTEE - Mary M. Dearborn, Chairman
IN RE: INCREASE COUNTY'S SHARE OF CIRCUIT JUDGES SALARIES
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Circuit Court Judges in the 6th Judicial Circuit (Oakland County) receive
salaries from both the State of Michigan, currently $25,200, and from the County of Oakland,
currently $14,000; and
WHEREAS adjustments to the State salary generally occur at a time other than the
beginning of the County's fiscal year, January 1, which the County traditionally makes the
effective date of salary adjustments; and
WHEREAS this situation has led to considerable misunderstanding in the past; and
WHEREAS on December 18, 1972, the Personnel Practices Committee recommended
to their successor committee "that the Board of Commissioners and the Board of Auditors
follow the practice of increasing Judicial salaries in the District, Probate and Circuit Court
at the time the State raises the ceilings on such salaries", and
WHEREAS the Michigan Supreme Court declared the statutory ceiling on the combined
State and County salaries for Circuit Judges unconstitutional on July 9, 1969; and
WHEREAS the State of Michigan raised its salary for Circuit Court Judges by 5%
November 1, 1972;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Judicial salaries hereafter in the District,
Probate and Circuit Courts shall be reviewed at the time the State Legislature increases the
State salaries of District, Probate and Circuit Court Judges.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that effective July 1, 1973, the County of Oakland raise
the County salary for Circuit Court Judges the same percentage as the State last raised the
State salary for Circuit Court Judges, 5% and that the resultant County salaries for Circuit
Court Judges be $14,700.
The Personnel Practices Committee, by Mary M. Dearborn, Chairman, moves the
adoption of the foregoing resolution.
