BY : James M. Brennan
IN RE: FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY ENCE,NTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Laciies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, the operation of state and local governmental units on a sound
fiscal bask is essential to the overall economic health of the nation; and
WHEREAS, there is an increase in the practice of deficit spending at all
levels of government, and such a trend can lead to insolvent or bankrupt communities;
and
WHEREAS, the responsible elected officials are constantly exposed to pressures
for new services and cost increases for present programs, and there exists no counter
incentive for cost control or expenditure reductions; and
WHEREAS, the necessity to provide the required services within the revenues
available is on integral part of the iob responsibilities for which elected officials are
compensated; and
WHEREAS, there a ce, at the present time, statutes in the State of Michigan
which allow periodic increases in the salaries paid to the various elected officials;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners supports legislation which would require that 50% of the increase in
compensation granted to elected officials be earmarked for Fiscal Responsibility
Incentive Compensation. Salary funds so designated would be payable only after
successful completion of the fiscal year in a break-even or surplus condition. Incurring
an operating deficit would resul t in forfeiture of that yea's incenPTv componsation,
MFL CHAIRMAN, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
