Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the State Health Department has agreed to pay $4,000 per year toward
the cost of a County clerical employee to prepare and maintain records resulting from
venereal disease investigations; and
WHEREAS the County presently has diverted clerical employees from other assignments
to perform this function, to the detriment of their original assignments; and
WHEREAS the amount of clerical work resulting from venereal disease investigations
requires a full-time clerical employee; and
WHEREAS the cost of a Typist II , including fringe benefits, would be $7,810 for a
year with $4,000 coming from the State and $3,810 from the County;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that an additional Typist II position be granted the
County Health Department for as long as at least $4,000 of the position's cost is paid by the
State.
The Personnel Practices Committee, by Mary M. Dearborn, Chairman, moves the

Dear Doctor Wiese:
As you know, additional federal project funds have been made available
to the state the past year to initiate an all -out effort to control the
ever-increasing incidence of gonorrhea, which has reached epidemic
proportions.
During the first ten months of this year, Oakland County reported 1,805
cases of gonorrhea. In October alone, 237 county residents were reported
and treated for the disease. At this rate, Oakland County will report
approximately 2,300 cases for the year, which would be a 35% increase
over 1972.
During the past year, a state-assigned Public Health Field Representative
(Mr. Jim Goodman) has been assigned half-time to Oakland County. The
female gonorrhea screening program in the county has been developed to
the point that we are now testing 2,600 females per month, which consistently
produces a 3+% positivity rate.
However, it is felt that the gonorrhea casefinding program needs to be
strengthened. In addition to the support already furnished by the county
and state, additional investigative and clerical support is needed to
further control efforts. In order to provide this additional assistance,
the Venereal Disease Control Program proposes to assign an additional
full-time Public Health Field Representative to the county and provide
funds through contractual agreement for a full-time clerical position.

The contractual agreement would initially be written to support salary
and fringe benefits for the clerical position through June 30, 1974.
Since the program is assured of continued funding through fiscal year
1975, the contract would be renewed in June 1974 and extended through
June 1975. Continued support beyond that point is anticipated but
cannot be promised.
1 trust that this proposal will meet with your approval and that it can
be implemented with minimal delay.
