Miscellaneous Resolution # 89151 June 15, 1989
BY: GOVERNMENT & TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE-
Richard G. Skarritt, Chairperson
RE: HOUSE BILL 4777 ( OPPOSE) INCREASES PENSION FORMULA
MULTIPLIER FOR COUNTY EMPLOYEES BY 25%
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS House Bill 4777 provides that county employees eligible
for retirement may retire and receive a pension of not less than 2.5
percent nor more than 3 percent of the five ( 5 ) year final average
compensation times the number of years of county employment; and
WHEREAS the Oakland County retirement plan now allows a
multiplier of 2 percent after having used a 1.8 percent factor until
1985; and
WHEREAS the change from 2 percent to a minimum of 2.5
percent would cause an increase of 25 percent in Oakland County's
retirement cost; and
WHEREAS since the county's liability for retirement is now
approximately $200 million, a change to 2.5 percent would require
additional funding of about $50 million; and
WHEREAS in addition, the county's yearly appropriation would
increase by 25 percent which would be $4.5 million next year with an
additional 25 percent appropriation each year thereafter; and
WHEREAS the minimum multiplier increase of 25 percent proposed
in House Bill 4777 is an unrealistic change which county retirement
officials say is a program we cannot afford.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board
of Commissioners takes a position opposing House Bill 4777.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent
to all State Legislators from Oakland County, to the Michigan
Association of Counties and to the County's Legislative Agent.
Mr. Chairperson, on beh alf of the Government & Transportation
Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
