IN RE: DRAIN AND DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS- REORGANIZATION, NEW
CIVIL ENGINEER III POSITION IN DRAIN AND REMOVAL OF FREEZE
ON CHIEF ENGINEER - SEWER AND WATER, MISCELLANEOUS
RESOLUTION #89122
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS:
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule XI-G of this Board, the Finance Committee has
reviewed Miscellaneous Resolution #89122 and finds:
1) The resolution reorganizes several units within the Drain
Commissioner's office and removes a freeze on a Chief Engineer
position in the Department of Public Works;
2) By its action on May 11, 1989, Personnel Committee removed
the freeze on the DPW Chief Engineer position by rescinding its
action of June 23, 1988, as referenced in the Personnel Committee
report;
3) Funds are included in the 1989 Budget for the DPW Chief
Engineer position, therefore, the action by Personnel Committee to
unfreeze this position does not require additional appropriation of
funds;
4) - Dividing the existing staff within the Drain Commissioner's
Engineering unit into two new units and retitling the Water and Sewer
Construction unit in DPW has no budgetary impact, therefore, the
resolution should be amended by adding the following language at the
beginning of item #2 in the NOW THEREFORE EE IT RESOLVED paragraph:
"For personnel organizational chart purposes,...";
5) Impacting the Budget, the resolution adds one Civil Engineer
III, upgrades an Assistant Chief Engineer-Drain to Chief
Engineer-Drain, and downgrades the salary of the Supervisor of
Construction Inspection Services upon retirement of the incumbent;
6) The additional costs for these personnel changes are
estimated to be $51,406 annually, partially funded by reimbursement
from projects in the amount of $38,873 and the remaining $12,533
funded by the General Fund;
7) For the remainder of 1989 with a planned implementation date
of June 1, the estimated additional costs are $22,239 partially
funded by $15,969 in reimbursement from projects and $6,270 funded by
the General Fund;
8) The Drain Commissioner has requested that the Personnel
Department conduct a salary grade review of certain positions after
approval of this reorganization with potential additional costs of
$23,135 annually to be funded entirely by the General Fund;
9) The 1989 Budget should be amended as follows:
Revenues
3-10100-611-01-00-2529 Reim. for Sal.-Drain Proj. $15,969
Expenditures
4-10100-611-05-00-1001 Salaries
