PERSONNEL COMMITTEE
7937 MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION A pril 28, 1977
PRESENTED: FINANCE COMMITTEE
IN RE: ALLOCATION BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1978
TO: THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The Property Tax Limitation Statute (Act 62, Section 9, Public Acts of 1933, M.S.A. 7.61) provides
the County shall, at the April Session of the Board of Commissioners, submit a budget to the County Tax
Allocation Board for its use in determing the County's share of the fifteen mill general property tax
for the ensuing year. To this end, your Finance Committee, together with your Personnel Practices Com-
mittee and the County Executive, herewith present their recommendations for the period January 1, 1978
to December 31, 1978.
The sole objective of this budget is to prepare for submission to the County Tax Allocation Board a
total picture of the County's 1978 operational needs, those resources other than the general property tax
which will be available for that purpose, and the amount of the property tax revenues necessary if those
needs are to be Implemented. That body, as charged by law, then determines the respective tax rates for
those local units, including the County, who share the 15 mill general property tax.
In light of this process, your Committee again advises all agencies and County Department Heads that
the recommendations herein cannot in any degree be regarded as binding until final budget consideration
when the tax rate is known and other revenues and costs can be more fully evaluated and determined.
The total operational needs of Oakland County for calendar year 1978 amount to $71,130,009, non-
property tax revenue amounts to $29,528 2488 resulting in a tax allocation request of $41,601,521, equiv-
alent to 530 mills levied on an estimated tax base of $7,849,343,666 (112% of 1976 SEV). A narrative
explanation of the contents of this request follows.
Personnel ($2.05 million increase)
In order to minimize the tax burden as much as possible while, at the same time, maximize the County's
service delivery capabilities, this request seeks to maintain only those 1,916 positions currently author-
ized by resolution of the Board of Commissioners. Although 277 new positions were requested, none have
been approved for the third consecutive year. The subject increment reflects general salary increases for
existing employees at the rate of 4% effective January 1, 1978 and 2% effective July 1, 1978.
Non-Departmental ($1.68 million increase)
The projected increase in Non-Departmental recommendations is largely accounted for in the following:
1. Employees' costs including Hospitalization, Life, Health and Accident Insurance, Retirement and
Social Security contributions account for approximately 1.31 million dollars.
2. Increased costs of Multi-Peril and Medical Mal-Practice Insurance Policies account for 200 thousand
dollars of the increase.
Departmental ($1.22 million increase)
Other than specific operating expenses such as, Defense Attorney Fees-$56,000 increase, Juvenile Maint-
enance-$164,000 increase, Election Expense-$266,000 increase, County Buildings-$306,000 increase, this in-
crement represents a normal economic increase in the County's Operating Budget.
Revenues ($4.95 million increase)
It is anticipated that property taxes will finance approximately $41,601,521 of the total budget of
$71,130,009 necessitating an allocated millage of 530 mills. This compares favorably with last year's
request of 631 mills. The remainder will be derived from Miscellaneous Receipts of $16,161,488 ,4 Federal
Revenue Sharing Funds in the amount of $3,369,000 and Charges for Services amounting to $9,998,000. It
should be noted that the requested millage of 5.30 includes the .25 mills for the Huron-Clinton Metro-
politan Authority. This millage has traditionally been absorbed as part of the County's allocated millage
and the Finance Committee intends to continue this past practice.
Exclusions
In addition to the decision against expansion of •the County's labor force, the Finance Committee, again
in an effort to minimize the tax burden, has consciously excluded from its allocation request other legit-
imate but unmet needs currently experienced by Oakland County government. For example, the budget request
does not address the possible expiration of the CETA program which is currently funded at an annual rate
$2.4 million and provides employment for 239 individuals. Likewise, the Human Services Core Administration
expenses have reduced by $250,000 and the .25 mill (equivalent to $2 million) normally appropriated to the
Building Fund has been eliminated which may necessitate future bond issuance in order to provide adequate
County facilities.
Conclusion
In the judgement of your Finance Committee, these recommendations, including the joint recommendations
of the Personnel Practices Committee and the County Executive, represent, insofar as present information is
available, the amounts necessary to finance County operations for 1978 on a level necessary to carry out the
essential responsibilities of the County of Oakland.
James E. .anni
Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I move the adoption of the attached Allocation
Budget in the amount of $71,130,009 necessitating a requested property tax levy of $41,601,521 ($3.2
million less than last year's request) for submission to the County Tax Allocation Board.
Respectfully submitted.,
