Miscellaneous Resolution # 89064
BY: PUBLIC SERVICES COMMITTEE - Richard D. Kuhn, Jr., Chairperson
IN RE: 52ND DISTRICT COURT - CREATION OF CLERICAL AND MAGISTRATE POSITIONS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS in recent years the 52nd District Court has experienced a
dramatic increase in total caseload as well as a rise in the number of more
complex cases; and
WHEREAS the court has attempted to address the additional demands
placed on clerical staff through the use of flex-time, overtime and temporary
Emergency Salaries positions; and
WHEREAS, despite these efforts, a substantial backlog of pending
cases exists in Divisions I, III and IV; and
WHEREAS due to the lack of availability of court time, there
currently exists a four-month delay in scheduling traffic and civil infraction
hearings and significant delays in scheduling other cases; and
WHEREAS guidelines for time standards for processing cases
recommended by the Michigan Supreme Court are not being met and delays are
resulting in inefficient delivery of services to the public; and
WHEREAS the 52nd District Courts have generated an increasing
percentage of revenues over expenditures since 1983 and project that
additional revenue will be realized to further offset the costs of requested
positions; and
WHEREAS the Personnel Department has conducted a review of the
court's staffing needs and the County Executive recommends these additional
positions.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners creates the following governmental positions in the 52nd
District Court:
Division I - three (3) District Court Clerk
one (1) Magistrate - 2/5 funded PTNE
Division III - six (6) District Court Clerk
one (1) Magistrate - 2/5 funded PTNE
Division IV - one (1) District Court Clerk - 1,000 hr/yr PTNE
one (1) Magistrate - 2/5 funded PTNE
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Public Services Committee, I move
the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
